I found that taking the General Store example, and literaly changing my data base to match its fields, worked well. Then I moved to changing the General store fields to match my new database was pretty cool. Then as I found I needed a new feature or wanted it to work some other way (sort et al) I just modified things one line or command at a time. I still don't consider myself anywhere near what some of these discussions center on.....but that approach worked for me. Good Luck. Kenneth L.
