Well, I read the article and while I kind of understand it an abstract level, I'm still lost when it comes to how to code this stuff. I'm getting frustrated because I've spent nearly 50 hours trying to learn real OOP and I'm still having lots of trouble coding it. I need to figure this out.

Now obviously I can't expect the people on the UT to teach me everything and you've all been wonderful helping me through this. What I'm wondering is if there's any good resources out there that bridge the gap between getting this abstractly and knowing how to code it? Any good examples of actual code I could look at. I'd do a web search if I had some idea what to search on. Unfortunately, google won't understand "show me good programming examples". :)

Thanks,

Michelle



>When Andy and I were grappling with this problem, we just created a formatter object that was capable of dishing up cursors as either XML or ADO recordsets. That way, the front end, whatever it was, could request the data format that it wanted from the data access object. It worked out rather neatly for us.
