Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the follow up. I have printed out the articles you and Scott
suggested. I have noted the two books below. I now face the classic issue
of students: Do I just read the articles and plow right into my application
OR do I get the book and learn ADO.NET cold? I am 61 years old and doing
this just for a hobby, so I think I will take the latter approach. I live
in suburban Boston and we have a great technical book store, SoftPro, in
Waltham. I will see if they have either one of the books you mention.

The John Papa article has an interesting slant that I picked up on by just
briefly looking over the paper. He talks about the old row / new row
technique, the TIMESTAMP, and placing his own DATETIME column in the record.
He says he prefers the TIMESTAMP, but then goes on to illustrate the
DATETIME method! I am currently using the old row / new row technique so I
was disappointed to see that he was not going to demonstrate the TIMESTAMP.
Ah well...

Thank you for taking the time to help me. In some ways my knowledge is very
deep. I programmed an IBM 7044 back in 1963. But in many respects my
command of the wonderful world of object orientated programming is indeed
shallow. My professional career was in the application of computer based
techniques and not in programming per se. It is only now in retirement that
I get a chance to program for fun.

Cheers,

Bob
