> u can build wrapper object for each table and have a pure OO system > but IMHO it is a lot of work and the benfiets you'll get are not worth it Hi Arnon, Could you not a kind of tableBase class that handles Opening, Closing, Seeking, Locking etc. and then code generate for each table of the database a class that would contain a property for each field (using afields). Would that be the wrapper object you are talking about. TIA, Marc
