>In this case I want the class SqlTable to understand that it's instantiated as loCountries. I am building a rather complicated generic class to work with SQL tables. My idea is that if I call the object for instance loCountries, my class can be smart enough to know that I want it to connect to the SQL table called Countries.

You may have given up on the idea, but, if I understand it correctly, and just for the fun of it:

DEFINE CLASS yourClass AS Custom
