Hi Oliver,

Thanks, I see how that would work for groceries - something I made up  
to hide my real 'data'... I am managing a project for a product and  
the information was confidential, but my problem wasn't. So, I wanted  
to get a 'list' size for the major tasks in the project. And the  
project is broken down into 'phases' with certain task happening in  
each phase. I wanted a quick way of knowing how far I am into a  
project and [%] how complete it is as I near a deadline - but I didn't  
want to have to manually add up all the subsections and try and  
determine this number on my own.

Dennis
