Thanks for the reply Michael... I had a hunch this wouldn't be easy to tackle, but this is more than I can chew at the moment: )
For now, I'll just keeping doing what I'm already doing which is to instantiate a new class taking the table as an argument, and then within my class reference the table's attributes most likely to be used (See below). If there is a more elegant way of doing this, I'm all ears ;) Thanks!
