... The reason I ask is that I want Tom to continue to use visual designing as opposed to coding of the tables in the DE.
As I said previously I can do all this programmatically no problem.

Subclass a CA and tell it to use the DE connection Add the DE to the form and change the DEClass property There's loads more stuff but that's the basic. (I'll send you some code if you like).
