Claudia Kosny	Saturday 02 December 2006 3:32:50 am Hi OOzy The content of an ezmatrix attribute is an object of type ezmatrix. Here you can see what attributes this object has: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/objects/ezmatrix So if you matrix has only one column I think it should be sufficient to use ...data_map.dept_emp.content.cells. This should give you an array of all entries in the matrix. Then just loop over this array using foreach and you are done. Claudia

Hi OOzy

So if you matrix has only one column I think it should be sufficient to use
...data_map.dept_emp.content.cells. This should give you an array of all entries in the matrix. Then just loop over this array using foreach and you are done.
