Roy,

Hah, beautiful. Smiley

However, this:

"CHECK constraints - you were supposed to be able to include SELECT
statements in them. Bet your database software doesn't allow this."

ElevateDB sure does - you just have to "hide" them in a function. Smiley

Ah but if you hide them they jump from.
CHECK constraints to CHECK restraints

The article also caught my eye in elreg.
The more I take a closer look at SQL the
more I think that USAF guy who wrote
the original xBase code based it on SQL
or sequell as it was back then. I will scoot
off now and research that.
