I would like a copy.
I too have been frustrated trying to use a treeview.  I have successfully
created one with three levels and it works, but any ideas on how to make it
easier to use would be great.

Hey John
Would you like to test drive it first and if deemed worthy, sure it could be
posted.  I was kind of hoping on getting other's input and added to the
primer, so that no one has to go through the frustration, it is gross.
