There is a treeview component you can use in VBA - if not in the toolbox
then right-click and choose "additional components" and look for "Microsoft
treeview..."
It will not hold all of the specific properties you list, but you should be
able to hold those in a collection of objects or similar construct and just
use the treeview to display the realtionships.

dear tim sorry missed your reply
yes a treeview would be excellent - especially if it could add or delete
new
members and/or move the members to different places
for any hierarchy i always want a level , a name , a member , a parent or
child - property against any member in the tree
so can excel do this or do we have an OCX control - as yet i have not seen
one and i am feeeling excel cannot do this elegantly

A treeview is like the "folder" view in windows explorer. Isn't that
the
kind of thing you'd need in order for your user to visualize the
connections
they're making?

what is a treeview ?
I guess at most a product dimension for me may have 4 levels and at
the
lowest level maybe 500 products although this figure may be 50
depending
on
who uses the sheet , lets say 50 codes who have 30 parents who have 4
parents
with a master code at top of hierarchy

Would a treeview approach work in this context?
What volume of data - 100's, 1000's of records?

i should also add if I have a hierarchy on products i need code to
add
or
delete or move any given item in the hierarchy - this
functionality
will
be
added to a system i have written in Excel 2003 and needs to be
user
friendly
- so far the systems works but i see no easy way for hierarchy
generation
over many dimensions even if they only have single hierarchys -
pivot
table
does not help me - i need raw codde to create the relationships
thats
easy
to
use - i can discuss offline if needed

Christopher,
What does this translate to in terms of Excel ? I understand
the
concept
but what should the resulting excel file be able to *do* ? Is
it a
tool
for
creating the relationships, displaying the relationships, or
what ?
Tim.

i have a sheet with a number of product codes as an example
using a hierarchy tool i want to create parents and
grandparents -
i.e
a
basic olap hierarchy on a dimension ( im used to Oracle OLAP
doing
this
naturally ) but i suspect i need an OCX control to help me -
it
must
have
been done before
