But some times it is needed to have a composite class. It this case, I have built a generic set of find classes that allow me to dynamically build the where part of a query. The graphical check box is for the and/or. The container builds "talbel.column = this.value and " part of the where. I did this so I could drop this class on my find form and set the columnName property be done. Surely there ought to be a way around this?
