OK - I've thought about this. Please correct my logic if I am wrong!
- my new bizObj code is in biz - it is basically a clone of my existing
bizObj (but without the validation code etc) but is created seperately as
the data for the report may be selective while my main bizObj is all
inclusive.
- I can create the instance of this bizObj only after the selection
criteria has been entered ie in the FrmReport routine in ui. Since this is a
dDialog object self is referring to this dialog and I can do a self.refresh
to get my cursor.
- The getDataset routine in db can then read the cursor from the
bizObj on the FrmReport dialog (maybe I should just get the dataset within
the FrmReport object and don't worry about having a seperate routine in db?)
Thats the design stage - hopefully I have both concepts and philosophy right
here and I can go on to the coding/implementation now.
