george -

you know, you make a very good point there. the stuff i wrote about
having a validation section at the beginning of a subprogram, was
written when i was in my 'structured-programming-frame-of-mind'.
when i am in my 'object-oriented-frame-of-mind' i realize that by
design, an good reason for using assignor methods for an object, is
that that is a good place to do your validation!!!

i guess when some of my form methods get larger, i relapse back into
my structured-programming-frame-of-mind and treat that code like a
microcosm.
