Hi Sam,

I am absolutely convinced I can do precisely what you are needing if I needed to. The framework is very flexible in that most of the behavior is overridable. There are some properties that provide flexibility and other times you have to simply override the behavior to do it. If I get the time required, I can do a little test to see how easily I can create what you are trying to do, but for today at least I am pretty tied up.

I will see if I can squeeze some time in to do a few tests and come up with an idea or two.

>Thanks for taking the time to explain about MM for VFP. I think what you have described is precisely what I am looking for. Using your conceptual ideas, I think the biggest problem with MM .NET is trying to navigate in the grid (or by clicking navigation buttons). Presently navigating away from an edited record triggers the "Save Changes?" dialog with the only real choices being to update the backend database or to abandon the changes on the edited record. I think the DataSet and DataTable structure and the existing business objects behavior would work okay with only minor changes.
