Ok , I think this is along the lines of what I've started. I added a column called "active" with a default to 0. It's a tiny int since I'm think 0=fales, 1=true. So can you explain a tad more about this hash stuff ? Is that specific to a sql field or just a name you've chose ? I'm not sure what you mean in your last statement about the hash passing over to the activate column ?
