Hi Irv,
Neither, unless you have an idea.
I want to create an object linked to a public variable (ex: goT1), and my record-level rule will be "goT1._Valid()".
All tables will probably be opened in private datasessions. I'm in the process of designing my own DE rather than using the form DE.

Having dbc_AfterOpenTable(cTableName) create the class object bogs down the entire app, because it runs evertime a "Select..." uses the table, and I have a lot of views like this "Select myUDF1(fk1), myUDF2(fk2)...." where myUDF does it's own select. So dbc_AfterOpenTable() is run during every pass through myUDF.
