I'm not sure that I completely under here, but it sounds like you haven't referenced the class objects as being used for the fields. You do this by modifying the database file, right clicking a table or view and selecting modify. If it's a table, the table designer appears with "Map field type to class" in the lower left corner. A view will have the field tab of the view designer. Select properties, there will be a similar dialog that appears with the a caption "Map field type to class". In both cases, you can select the class and object to map to the particular field.
