paul bolger	Tuesday 30 November 2010 2:09:45 pm Can anyone suggest a way to do this? I have customised member objects: Bill and Ben. The objects have a selection attribute: apples, oranges, bananas - with multiple selections enabled. I can fetch forwards easily: "Bill likes apples and bananas", but I can't figure out how to fetch in reverse: "Oranges are liked by Ben (only)". Is there a sane way to achieve this, or should I just resort to related objects? Paul Bolger
