OK Dave.

thanks for your info.

I know it may sound strange to not use columns.

Actually I have several views in my database, but they all have only one column which I use for lookups, all documents have list keys which is used in the column.

I do not want to start creating a lot views with columns in order to show specific features in my xpages. then I will soon have too many views in the database and will end up with poor performance.
