Not only FK's but PK's too. The classic: You have a customer screen and need to retrieve the info. Or lookup a invoice number to retrieve the detail lines. In my case I have a class that uses a table containing meta data. The table has the name of the required table, the associated field name, etc.. Then the class determines the size of the grid for the display. But if you think about it almost every app needs a why to do a lookup . -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-dev This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
