If you're feeling daring, this API is still not public, but I'm pretty sure it still works: http://www.mail-archive.com/rose-db-object@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00710.html I haven't change it in a long time so it'll probably just become public eventually, assuming I haven't made any fatal mistakes in the API. If you try it, let me know how it works for you.

That's no problem, you just have to be "prepared" to handle both cases :) You can detect where data is coming from and going to by using the is_loading() and is_saving() utility functions: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rose-DB-Object/lib/Rose/DB/Object/Util.pm Then just do the appropriate thing in each situation. -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
