I think the reason it "seems" wrong is that you'd typically generate the surrounding data as well. From the sounds of things, something else is generating that for you, and then you "add your part". It could be that there is a better way for you to "add your part", but we'd need to know how the initial generation is being done. In this case, I think your proposed solution is appropriate; even Bills latest comment is "technically acceptable", but would probably, IMHO, introduce too much confusion if the process were to change a bit. -- Noon Silk http://dnoondt.wordpress.com/ (Noon Silk) | http://www.mirios.com.au:8081 > Fancy a quantum lunch? http://www.mirios.com.au:8081/index.php?title=Quantum_Lunch "Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy — the joy of being this signature."
