I am interested in the functionality provided by DataClas. I use local views for all data access. I use properties of an object (SCATTER NAME) as the control source for all textboxes, etc (except grids of course) and I prefer to work with properties instead of view.fields I want to use MSDE/SQL and provide web access. I was planning to use remote views because it is fairly straight forward given my design. I read through (not in depth) the DataClas documentation. How do you handle grids/lookups? If this is not that interesting to anyone else, you can email directly.
