I am about to make my first attempt at a biz object. Up until now all my logic has been form based.

I have a couple of questions about biz objects in general but first here is a brief overview of what I am trying to achieve.

The object will be responsible for collecting a series of records from various VFP tables and outputting a new series of tables based on these records.

The resulting tables will be despatched (probably by another biz object) to my remote users using 1 of 2 methods.

1. Despatched onto a floppy and sent.

2. Despatched as an Email attachment.

My remote users will have an application that can read these tables.

My questions.

1. I have been told that the new data session objects make the ideal foundation to base a biz object on. Is this so?

2. I will not be able to use a VCX based class for this so where is the ideal place for the code that creates the class. a) In a PRG file as part of the project or b)As part of my application procedure file.

3. The amount of information I have been able to find the Data Session Class is small as it only came out as part of SP3. I can find no articles here in UT about how to use it. A search of Wikki on 'Data Session Object' produces nothing
and the amount of info provided by MS can only be described as pitiful. Can anyone pint me at an article discussing is use with an example:) ?

My delivery deadline for the rest of the app is getting close so I have to decide today how to write this part of the code. I don't want to do it the old fashioned way unless I have to.

Many Thanks
