Ok, the number will always greater than 1001 and less than 999,999
Only ONE attribute and ONE multi value per integer will be stored.
Each integer represents a single attribute/multi value pair.


The break down is thus [ AAA,MMM ]
   where AAA = attribute number and
         MMM = Multi value number.

SO the integer number 7001 would represent
     Attribute 7
     First multi value in attribute 7

conversely integer number 7010 would represent
     Attribute 7
     the tenth multi value in attribute 7


Thanks ...
