I "perceive no severity". I am just contempleting whterer I should begin
to use the DE class or not. Thank you for your input.


>Selecting DataEnvironment from the short-cut menu brings up the form's instance of your DE class. It does not bring up the DE class itself. If you try to delete one of the adapter objects, you will get a message saying something like "You can't delete a member object". This is how composite classes work. You could add code to the DE instance to issue a RemoveObject on one of the adapater objects at run-time but that won't affect the class itself.
