See EOEntity, EOAttribute, ERXEOAccessUtilities: If you have an EO you can get it's entity (EOEntity). If you know the attribute name you can get the attribute (EOAtrribute) from the entity. If you know the column name you can get the attribute using ERXEOAccessUtilities' attributeWithColumnNameFromEntity You can get the externalType from the attribute. ;david -- David LeBer Codeferous Software 'co-def-er-ous' adj.
