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.

Hi Tore:

You can't query the object name, and scanning all memory objects looking for the class name is a bad apporach, so I suggest tyhe simplest solution, indicating the instantiated mode as one more parameter:

loCountries = NewObject('SqlTable', 'SQL.vcx', 'countries')
loCountries = NewObject('SqlTable', 'SQL.vcx', 'other-uses')

Edit: Another solution could be using some factory object, like this:

loCountries = oFactory.NewCountry('SqlTable')
loCars = oFactory.NewCar('SqlTable')

Best Regards!
