Hi Marko,

I think that Rael should give you a commission for all of the efforts that you have put into making his program meet various needs!  I played around a bit more after posting yesterday and then mulled things over a bit afterwards.  I suspect that one issue I am having is that tweaks around the margin of my logic/paradigm/layout are not able to solve my issues, and I am just not able to find an alternate model that will work.  It is only natural that we want a product to think and handle data like we would normally do, give or take a tweak or two.  But, moving to another model to meet the needs of the software becomes a gray area for me.  ON the one hand, thinking outside the box can sometimes be healthy and open up new ways of working (and something I am hoping will be the case here).  On the other hand, software is supposed to be a tool to help us, and if it requires too much accommodation, then it does make me wonder if I have selected the right tool.  Since RN offers many useful features, I am willing to try and think outside of the box, but if any significant paradigm change is required in how I handle my data, the change needs to be organic as I have rarely seen radical changes properly take hold (like OneNote which I like but can never seem to set up in any effective manner).  I thought a bit more about some possible “large” tweaks similar to your last recommendation, and I need to see if my mind will take to any one particular change.  I am hoping that something will work because I find RN to offer a number of useful features, and I would hate to think that it was rigid thinking on my part that prevented things from working out.

Thanks again,

—Ken
