Then you can have that base abstract class be the type for your argument. A good thing to do with interfaces by the way, which of course ARE coming! -Chris I ditto this as well.  I switched to always extending my DAOs and Gateways with a base class specific to the entity the DAO/Gateway represents last fall.  This was due to the fact that we use MySQL around here, there is a possibility of making one of our apps support other DBs. .Peter P.s.  Rock on Team Fusion ;-) --  Peter J.
