Fast work! (Boy, I sure wish I had a commercial Oracle/M$ contract 
instead. I'm sure they could have done it faster ;-) ). Thanks!

Just to be clear (as much for other as for me): this should fix the 
syntax as my (more recent) bug report submitted? That is, one non-
conditional rule that tries to handle both inserting and updating 
together, as opposed to 2 different conditional rules that, together, 
try to handle all cases.

My Mom always said I loved finding problems. :-)
