How is the data getting from the database into the form? Is there a DAO layer? Speaking from my own project, I would either do this in the DAO, or else (and I don't know how to do this yet, but I've heard it's possible) register a custom converter that BeanUtils would use when 'copyProperties' is called to copy to values from the DTO to the form bean. -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University PA Information Resources Management
