Jeff,

>Our application is basically just a front end to an existing AS400 green screen app. The business rules/etc are all on the back end, and we don't have a database to intereact with directly. This is preventing us from using the Buiness objects/rules as they were designed to be used.

Mike answered correctly...you can use these Framework-level business objects without using your own application-level objects. That said, I can help you work around the existing architecture so you can still use MM .NET business objects (somewhat modified).
