What about the code exchange than ?
What do you suggest ?
I think the first 20 characters of  comment are enough any other 
suggestions ?
Dimension oriented ?

If you really want all information ... there would be another pretty simple
solution you may discuss ( sometime :-) ) :
I think its the event log of win 2000 who works similar ...
one doubleclick on an item and a new dialog is opened ...
showing really all information ... when you then click
on another item  the dialog show the information on this item
...
(And you can place buttons on this dialog for navigating through the
tree / export the data open the file ... and so on and so on ... )
what about this ?

ohh and yeah thanks for the friendly welcome !!!
I forget to write this the last time :-) !!!
