Please don't think for a moment that I was being the least bit critical of YAG. Not only do I consider him one of the most brilliant thinkers in the FoxPro community, I think he has been MORE than generous with sharing his intellectual assets.

If I sounded the least impatient it was because I was relating to Jack's immediate need for a solution and wanted to encourage him to examine what I knew was already in existence rather than wait for the latest and greatest: Especially since the original model for sub-classing a data environment and adding it to a form, is (like most of Flash's work) so simple and clean. I can't imagine there could be any major improvements in the model, just enhancements to it. But then, you would know better than I.
