I think what you are searching for is database design or more specific database normalization. I think you're right. The common advice so far seems to be "put it in a database, then..." I'm OK with that, but I'm still groping in the dark a bit - not seeing my way to a solution yet - although what you suggest certainly seems like a step in the right direction. I have to say that "normalization" seems to be the key here. I've heard it as a term of the art before, but I'm completely ignorant of how it's done (except for having done stuff like this myself, albeit on a smaller scale and without much thinking about it.) I'm guessing that you mean something like this:

And then... I'm not sure what happens then. I thought I had it, but I've lost it. :( Help? -- "Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about." -- B. L. Whorf In reply to Re^4: Organizing and presenting a cross-reference
