no problem, sorry for being unclear

correct
plus: 2 XML subcat files with id 234 and 987 belonging to 8845

nope, no courses as pages they are supposed to be records on the pages

my pagetree:

 >   |

and the courses are stored in the Subcategories as !records!
So, in the backend if I got to listview uid 987 i see the records where 
they belong to...

sorry for causing confusion.

p.s.: am already developing like this as I see no reason to not do so ;)
p.p.s.: no offense meant :) thanks for the tips you gave me, but this 
one is definitely the /easiest/ solution and I dont think it is really 
that bad to "break" the auto increment as the auto increment (IMHO) is 
just a "helper function" to get the next higest ID...if i mess around 
below it in a certain area is not "bad behaviour" (again: IMHO)

thanks!
