redesign things into an atribute-centric design. IOW, instead of
adding or removing columns, you add rows to a related attribute table,
with the "column" name as the key field. It's more work, especially in
creating SQL joins, but it is amazingly flexible.
Any white paper regarding this, which I can go through, I am open to
ideas as this is the first app I will be trying it. I might as well
do the research. I had this kind of logic in FPD and was working well
but now the concepts have changed.
While we are at it, does this suggestion of your help in dynamically
creating computed fields? This is a major limitation in my idea as
when it comes to form creation I just create a form dynamically using
a lot of @ say gets (FPD).

when two bizobjs try to use the same view. All I meant was you could
grab some of the DBC and view creation code from that class's code.
Okay, though I studied it after posting and I found out that it is
looking for a if used condition. Anyway, where would you propose I
put in the converted code.
The structure will be modified outside the app, and the structures
won't change so frequently as in the start, once settled all will be
smooth.
Can I make it more oop than procedural, ie. a form to do a blank
conversion of all the FlexiTables. Hey I don't know what all
FlexiTables are there, I would like to avoid hard coding TableNames.
Thanks for you help.
Please advise.
