John,
Yep, it does make sense. Does sound pretty complex.

Well two thoughts. First, you can use an object array in a listbox without
4D WritePro or anything else - you just can't display them directly. But so
what? I use an object array frequently in listboxes. Make it the {1} column
and invisible. If I understand what you want to do add two columns: one for
the key and one for the value and make them both text. Now you can just
loop through the rows and write the key and the value (as text). When the
user changes something you just update the c-obj in the #1 column.
Second is I worked out a routine to put c-objects into an hList and allow
the user to edit the values if you prefer to look at it like a c-obj. I'll
be sharing that at my presentation in DC.
So now I am redoing it using panes=subform but there will be at least three

Interesting. I'd like to see it in action sometime.
