Why not? What happens? This is the correct way to access the foreign key ID. Note that if you get this working, you'll be iterating through all the selected accounts each time, for every Host. If you've got large numbers of accounts, there is a slightly more efficient way of doing this, by using dictionaries to pre-group the accounts by their matching hosts: see my blog[1] for an explanation. -- DR.
