Hi Fred,

Well, personally, I don't use BO's that way ... I pass around DataSets instead.

But, I think you have a couple of choices. You still want to go through BO's, not directly against the database. I don't know how you are using your BO's, but I don't see why you can't use multiple BO's. If necessary, you can create a new BO that handles multiple BO's. So, for example, a Sales BO would contain maybe the Customer, Invoice and Items BO's.

>Hi Bonnie,
>I'm sorry. I have a DAL that my BO's access, I wanted to know what was the right way to write reports, do I use my BO's or just directly query the DB. Where I am getting confused is if the report is just Inventory Listing I use the BO. What happens if the report includes data from Multiple BO's

>>You don't say much about how you're already using your Biz Objects. Typically, a Biz Object doesn't access the database directly, but will most likely call methods in a Data Access class that will get the data from the database and return it to the Biz Object. Does this help?
