Thanks for your idea! I may have to do that, but ideally I would like the application to just pass the connection handle (SQLConnection) and not have to wrap it before I send it. Is there no way once I have the reference variable in the Init method to make it public to the class? Both the class and the application use the connection handle and both need to have same handle at all times. If one changes it, the other should have the change also. Thanks.
