Michael,

I’m currently using 4.2.  And thank you for the offer of assistance. 

After reading John’s reply and taking a closer look at the CompariableProperty 
interface, I’ve since found what I needed. I am using ExpressionFactory rather 
than the Property instances because I’m creating the expressions 
programmatically.

Thanks,
