Hi,

You should be able to refer to your 'outer' class by name. e.g to access a property of SQLDBWrapper from within an instance of ClassDataSet: SQLDBWRAPPER.someProperty etc..

Now, what I am having a problem with is that inside the ClassDataSet, I need to reference a property/variable/method of SQLDBWrapper. I can't find a Me.Parent type of connection between my classes. How can I reference the parent class from my child class?
