You can safely load() to "refresh" the object with new values from the db. There's no need to make a new object (unless you have some custom, non-db attributes that you've added yourself, in which case you should override load() and take whatever action you deem appropriate for those attributes.) -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
