Understood, though this is simply an "if...then" form of the switch statement that I'm trying to avoid.

>>Okay, this is evidence that I've thought like a VFP programmer for a long time. What I want to do might look something like this:

>>public class MyClass()
>>{ 
>>    DataRow table1;
>>    DataRow table2;
>>
>>    public void AssignRow(DataRow input)
>>    {
>>        tableName = input.Table.TableName; // (could be "table1" or "table2")
>>        &tableName = input; //notice the clever use of VFP syntax...
>>    }
>>}
>>

>>Any way of doing this short of a potentially long select statement?
