Thank you. I like the ability to use just one model since I will be submitting the entire model to a service.
Can you still validate the data even though the actual fields are in different tabs?

Up to you. How related is the data on the 5 tabs? Sometimes what I do is have a larger model in the Application and make the tabs work with subsets. <mx:Model id='wholeModel'> <piece1 /> <piece2 /> ... </mx:Model> <mx:TabNavigator> <Tab1 data="{wholeModel.piece1}" /> <Tab2 data="{wholeModel.piece2}" /> ... </mx:TabNavigator> Tab1.mxml <mx:Form> <mx:Model id="data"> <someData>{input1.text}</someData> <someOtherData>{input2.text}</someOtherData> </mx:Model> <mx:StringValidator field="data.someData" /> ... So it really does depend on how the data is going to be used to decide how you want to structure it. If you want validation and binding and you're writing different MXML files it makes sense to have each MXML deal with its own data. But that doesn't mean that the data couldn't actually be part of a larger piece (like done above). Matt _____ From: Doug Coning [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 12:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Data Model Structure Question... Newbie Question: I have a user application that contains 5 tabs (using the TabNavigator). I'd like to use the <mx:Model> class to store and validate the data from each of the forms on those 5 tabs. What is the best method for doing this? Should I place the Model in the Application file or should I break it down into smaller sections for each tab? I hope this question makes sense. Do I use one root Model, or five smaller models for each tab?
