That is even a better solution to my problem Cheri. I wish I had
thought of that <g>. Did I make it up or did Bill once say that he was
going to include a maintenance option to eliminate all unused place
locations? That would be great .... Legacy has that option now and it
sure cleans up a place database in a hurry.

Thanks,
David
