Hello Jan,

again, you are right of course. however, i really have to complain
about your answer. "the right queries" i certainly would have if
the right way would be documented. i had to search the right way
inside the source of vacation and forwards.

and even worse, vacation needs a column named vacation that returns
Y or y. fortunately forwards is smart enough to return Y if it finds
a row for the user. how should one know about these tiny and not so
unimportant details?

regards, stephan
