Ken, I think you're on the right track with this....from what I could discern from his "English", is he's trying to do just what you show, and have the last names of the record display in a certain type of bold font (perhaps colored even) to differentiate the salary ranges by essentially color/bold font coding the name. Agree, that it makes no sense to store it, unless he's trying to save the data of the bolding in a blob for an html like encoding...not sure of that...my abilities being limited also in understanding of using a blob binary field..but that's what it sounds like to me anyway.
