Hello Yake! > No, I was think along the lines of this example: > > Example: > Sony World Headquarter - Adress ID 1 > Sony Europe - Subadress of 1, ID 2 > Sony Germany - Subadress of 2, ID 3 > Sony Sales Norther Germany, Hamburg - Subadress of 3, ID 4 > General Salesmanager Mr. Nobody, Employee of 4 > > Is it really necessary to have that level of detail? I agree that it is > a good idea, but is it something that is really necessary.

What *if* there is a company in need of such detailed tool - it wouldn't be a problem to use just two levels of an unlimited depth. > For example is it not sufficient ot say: > Sony World Headquarter - Adress ID 1 > Sony Europe - Subadress of 1, ID 2 > Sony Germany - Subadress of 1, ID 3 > Sony Sales Norther Germany, Hamburg - Subadress of 1, ID 4 > General Salesmanager Mr. Nobody, Employee of 4 ### That would be a possibility, too. But talking of financial things (of the customer) it would be possible that billing for hamburg would be done by the germany headquarters and we therefor need to bee able to track that down. > How would you easily show (in the first example) that sony germany is a > sub address of sony europe.
