If your not going to use a gateway Object, I would put a method in your DAO to return a query for the master list. You could then create a bean and populate it though each record or just output the query. I tend to do a bit of both so I guess my apps are more OOish the straight OO. If your going to use a gateway CFC, the gateway holds all the methods the would return more than one row, as these cannot be returned to the caller in a bean.

Steve Brownlee That way the order in which they are set is moot. The equivalent of an XOR operation :) Ok that makes sense and seems to align well with the concept of the bean/object being responsible for itself. I think I got a handle on the form, form action, bean and dao relationship. Writing up some code not to see how it goes. I'm sure I'll be back for more questions when I get into the actual implementation. One question that has not yet been addressed is how would I use these bean and DAO objects for the master page? Or is it easier just to keep this procedural where I would query the database for all the Trima Records and output each one with a link to the form-detail page? -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
