>Thanks, Rick. I may ping you again with more questions.
Let me say this: It works reasonably well, but it's not what I consider optimal either. I will re-write this layer at some point to a more pure entity approach most likely once LINQ is available.
The stuff I use is currently baked into my wwBusiness library that's part of the Web Store here:
