Hi Mark,

I've never done this, but the Abstract Factory Dataenvironment opens it's table with a USE command, so I think you could put a CREATE CURSOR or SELECT ... INTO at the same place where the classes table is opened. Have a look at

* Library: Cdataenv.vcx
* Class: Abstractfactoryenvironment
* Method: Init()

You could also think of an own Data Access class for this task that works like cSQLPassThrough but works on local tables.

HTH,
Armin
