This presents a case for dropping an instance of your business object inside the toolbar rather than adding it to the application object dynamically at runtime.

Guys,

I'm just looking for something like the font combo in MS Word. All the fonts are loaded in the combo, you can select your choice, and if I add a new font, the combo updates to reflect the addition.

By the way, I thought that one of the reasons for bizobjs is data manipulation and that direct access to the dbfs is a nono. If that is the case, you wouldn't want to use a SQL statement in the combo.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

TIA

Rex
