Tim,

The books can be ordered at www.hentzenwerke.com. They ar ein tehf inal stages of completion so they should actually ship quite soon.

Grids are a unique beast in the realm of N-Tier desing. To imp[lement a grid you would need to either provide a cursor form the bizobj that the grid can attach to, or provide an ADO or RDO that the interface can covnert into a cursor for the grid.

Lists would be easier to manage becasue they can use their AddListObject method to add rows while querying the bizobj for the data.

In either case, the C/S model precludes browsing entire tables since the number of records in the data source can astronomical.
