Thanks Neven. Yes I'd thought of making a Policy table inherited from my
Table class, and have this as a component to drop on the form. I thought
maybe it was too hard wired, but I guess not much more than what I wanted to
do with hiding methods (and yes they are methods).
Cheers,
Dave

Dave
Do you mean properties not methods? The short answer is no, you have two
options
1/ derive a 'Policy' and an 'Advisor' table from a base 'CustomTable'
2/ bitch if properties are accessed when not applicable (this is the nasty
method)
I don't really like this as you are altyering the 'behaviour' of one
property dependant on
another somewhat unrelated property
