I have no solution for you Colm,
but I wanted to reply to Chris' email recommending FM Butler  
Occurrence Selector.
I found a small bug in it. It doesn't work if you use spaces in your  
TO names (which we use a lot). I am not talking leading spaces (which  
I am not using but rather spaces inside the name).
It shows everything fine until the first space in the TO names, but  
after the first space shows random results.

Eg. I name my tables as A_name, B_name etc
I name my main TO as A_Name, inner related TOs  as "A to B to  
D_blabla", and external db TOs as "A to xA to xF_blabla"

When using Occ. Selector, if I search for "A to xA to xF" first  
result will be "A to A...", second "A to B...." etc.
Even when I copy the ful name of the TO and past it, it gives me  
wrong results.

When I converted one TO spaces to underscores ( _ ) it show up as  
first match, which is good, but if I need to convert all my TO to be  
without spaces just to use this, it's not worthy. Even for free app.

This is just my opinion.
