Actually, it's a limit that would have to grow.  Next year, the upper group
would be 56, so the limit would move up one.  

<grin>

55?  Drew, you of all people shouldn't advocate arbitrary upper limits!  How
about 255?

What do you think the cut off is for understanding a lookup field?  55?

LOL.  Always the troublemaker.  You do realize if an old-style developer
can't understand a surrogate key, they SURE won't understand a lookup
attached to the FK right in the table design.

Well, if you use a lookup field with foriegn keys, you can 'see' also! <VBG>
(Just had to toss that into the mix).

Yea, I tend to agree with you.  In fact during the great debate that was one
of the "arguments" for using natural keys... What if ... I can always look
at the data and see...
