    I guess I don't get this. Why would the ParentID of question 1 be "7" when it looks like question 7 is the identical question with no ParentID? Are you trying to build a "forrest" of questions with each having a "downline" of follup question? If so, what is the purpose of pointing row 2 to row 8?

    Just trying to understand what you need.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
