Gary: This problem is not meant to be solved in Access - or any other programming language for that matter. (In fact, trying to do this in Access would probably be a bad idea.) What I'm looking for is a step-by-step process that lays out the logic for the solution - in other words an algorithm. (In the olden days of programming - like say twenty years ago - what I'm looking for might have been called pseudo-code.) Whatever you call it, you're basically laying out the logic of the solution - before you write a single line of code to implement the solution. (I hope this makes sense ...)
