"Ed, Thank you. That is just the info I needed. Having never actually done a graduation/promotion in WH before, I was unaware of this option. It beats revisiting each user record afterward. Much appreciated. - Tom"

Good to see a familiar face. I was an intern with Ann Kopp many moons ago. I've since been teaching Seattle, and for the last 5 years at Brookwood, on the North Shore. Busy witing report cards now, and Doug Fodeman(your counterpart) has just switched over our comment writing to web-based format...a little learning curve, not too bad. Say hello to the gang over there. -Sven Holch
