The CursorAdapter VCX builder I created now has another potential problem because of 255 character limits for object properties in design time. Most of the code my builder creates is written to the INIT of each CA subclass. However, I have the builder directly populating the CursorSchema property since this is necessary in order to have fields available from the CA in the DE for dropping onto the form or to have the fields available from the COntrolSource combo in form objects. This is a very crippling limitation when it comes to form design. So I guess I will modify my builder to check the length of these properties and stick the code in the INIT if it exceeds 255 characters. < sigh >
