Hi Aaron,

The query builder to generate joins that you mentioned is exactly what I 
am going to do doing this time. That is one of the reasons I have the 
generic field names for the primary and foreign key fields. Then I only 
have to pass the search criteria the table names and which direction I 
want to do the joins.

Thanks again for your help.

Regards

John T
