We are building a system for news authors and editors. Multiple editors as approvers is an obvious requirement. Could I get round it by creating multiple event/aprroves, each with a named user, for the same section (I don't think so). Clive

In addition: keep in mind that once an object is pending (waiting for approval) it can not be edited by anyone (neither the original author or the person who is assigned to approve it). In other words, the editor can only accept or reject the pending object. Allman
