>>Geez Gonz. You taking up mind reading? Thinking of a job with "The Psychic Friends Network"? Exactly, right. Visually design the DE, then you can handle it as needed. Want it in a form at design time? Add it by dropping it on the form or report. Need something at runtime, create it, tweak it, pass it to whatever you're going to need it for. Clean and fast. Progammatically creating it is a pain.

Quite the opposite, in fact. But maybe we need the "no pain, no gain" thing.:-) Seriously, I really think being able to abstract it into an inpendent object opens many possibilities. Then again, maybe its just a pipe dream.
