    Hi Sean

    Thanks for the advice I wasn't sure if it would have any performance impact but I can see this would as you advise be a bad idea.I will look more to exporting the data as it is rather than generate a view from a selection if views.great link and made me think about how I set up my queries

    Thanks

    Ian

    No reason you couldn't create a new view that is similar to another one of course. 😀
