Hi Bob.

>Are you saying I could maintain meta data for the remote tables in 5.1? I assume I would have to code it myself?

No, the intention is to automate as much of that as possible.

>Certainly... I would like SFQuery to present all of the related tables to the user... for example... my employee master is linked to a job codes table, but, the user doesn't know what the ID/Identity of the job codes are, they just know the codes...

You can do that now by defining a custom class to be used for the value entry for the job code field. You may already be using such as class for your data entry form. See the samples that come with SFQuery; ORDERS.CUST_ID displays a combobox of customer names, for example.
