I can't see what you are trying to get after. I don't have enough context to work from. I just cannot visualize your problem well enough to help. What is the tuple/list of numbers (2200,2200,2200,220) supposed to represent and how would you use this list to find the records you wanted if you were doing it "by hand"? Imagine for me that none of this information is in a computer but has been printed out on paper. Now describe for me the decision process you want to perform and how I would do it using the printed lists. What would I need to compare to come up with the correct choices? Make sure you respond to the list so that everyone else can help, too! Shawn Green Database Administrator Unimin Corporation - Spruce Pine
