LOL.  Okay okay.  We all need to dig a little here and there.  Keeps the
List rolling.

<grin>

Let me know when you do have time to prove me wrong though.  We can do it
off List if you want! <grin>

Be VERY careful, Drew!  Understanding them is one thing, agreeing with
their use is something else and we *really* don't need another war at
the moment.  I don't have time to prove you wrong.

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!

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...
