G'Day Dennis,

I wonder if it is possible to create something to hold the reference material for a "list" in the lists table. The current arrangement contains only info for the values of a list, not the list itself.

Clearly, the Lists table is also used to hold "generated lists" - like 1010# - in the award update process, not just lists I import or create - so called Edited Lists.

Also one would need to make sure it was integrated somehow into the process of using "Database commands" to import data. I guess that would imply a specifc button on the "lists dialogue" to avoid the use of user generated database commands. Alternativly, a process to subsequently update the description and reference material.

I have to admit that some of the lists now in my Lists table I created - but, it can be a long time ago and I forget exactly what I did or where I got the lists. Also as I look to update some of the lists, I have no knowledge of where to look. I wondered what WASA was, and have chased for a little while with only broken links to follow. Clearly the number of cities in Sweden does not change much. Another example ... what is, and where do I get updates for, the WHLA list - whatever it is. I think it might be lighthouses, some where.

If there was a place to put additional material, linked somehow off the Lists table that had a "description" of the "list" and the reference material for it, life could be a little easier.

Low priority. Nice to have, but low priority.

... I'm getting too old too fast.

Now you point it out, it is so obvious. I can even see the entries I have made for myself.

I had no memory of that material whatever ... until the instant I read you reply. I guess because the ones I use the most have always been there and I never have the need to look at the data for the "user-field" entry. Yet another reminder that ones memory gets "different" as one gets older. I am reminded of ... "Out of sight, out of mind".

Using XML for import would be a nice idea. I guess that would move the problem to "parsing the list" from the source data - there are so many "formats" to choose from. But, that's a chore one needs solve anyway.

Do you have any reference material about the lists provided with Logic for which there is no "user-field" with reference data?
