This is the solution that occurred to me when considering Graham's
question(s). Good to know that it's worked well for you. Do you show
anything at all about the hidden records along with the expand control
(e.g., those pesky dates Graham mentioned, which will be key in lots of
applications)? Or does the one "head" record stand as the proxy for all in
the default display?

Others may well be listening, if not responding. Just a thought . . .
