Arnaud -

Thanks very much for a suggestion!  Unfortunately, when I do that (I'm not much of a 
JOIN expert <g>) I end up selecting ALL the rows in the table.

Hi Ed,

May you could join the table to itself, using a join criteria of index and
position :

SELECT * FROM ROWS AS R1 LEFT JOIN ROWS AS R1 ON (R1.index=R2.index AND
R2.X<=Right) LEFT JOIN ROWS AS R3 ON (R1.index=R3.index AND R3.X>=Left) LEFT
JOIN etc etc...

Does that help?

Arnaud
