I would be interested on here some of your experiences on this? I've built and made use of table hierarchies three levels deep and about twenty classification types wide that I rolled up into separate update-able view. However, I found the process of cascading the updates to all three levels of each classification type using the "TID" rather tedious. Regards, Richard Broersma Jr.
