>Just out of curiosity, have you ever posted that code here on the UT before?

I was about to say that I hadn't, but thought I'd do a quick search myself. I found that I had in Message #816946 (Re: Reference to a controls bound dataset) which was posted exactly a year ago today, interestingly enough. <g>

There's another thread that was posted about 3 months before that one, when I was first trying to figure out how to do this and I was looking for answers: Message #769841 (DataBinding) ... I figured out a solution on my own, but a day later Rick replied with his solution to the problem and his approach seemed to be somewhat similar to mine: Message #770586
