I have never written any "real" unit test programs. I attempted to a couple of times but ran right into the GUI testing issues (VFP programming). How does one black box test the GUI? OK you want to test the dBizobj. That might work. I'll look into it - but I say up front I have no experience designing or creating real unit test. I'll have to review what is out there and hope the info will provided insights.
