I am curious if i am alone on my thoughts about unique keys.  If there is a
very loud silence we will know that unique keys is the answer.  Is there
other ways to have various addresses without using defined record types as
part of the key. 

*vbg*  (I have no delusions abut my weird ideas.)

In this case, I would have a separate file for addresses and use a type to
differentiate them.  We are, in fact, getting ready to develop a new
customer tracking database using a similar model.
