>I dunno, Marc. Seems to me not much more effort to create business/application objects and use custom methods instead of UDFs even if you never intend to reuse the code.

I do. Look to put your code in Objects rather in UDF is a progress, but can hardly be seen as OO, but rather as syntax enhancement. In building truly OO business objects, we are limited by the data retrieval that is relational in essence and as such cutting right through candidate object classes that would be reusable, which is the claimed advantage of oo.

Do not get me wrong, I do not rule out OO at all, but all I'm saying is that it is not a silver bullet, and that less OO is often better than a lot of OO. I'll leave it to you and Jim to decide if this is an intangible rule or not :).
