>>The data tier should have rules in place to ensure that all of the required
fields are present, but for the sake of interface speed and conservation of server resources I see no problem with duplicating this logic in the client.

Isn't the whole point of OOPS avoiding the duplication of logic because at some point the rules may get updated in one place and not another? I'd rather lose the speed and know that the rules are current and are only being accessed in one place. I thought Kevin had been demoing web interfaces that use the rules from the com object and the speed didn't look too bad.

Hi Jon, nice to see a fellow classmate on the UT.
