It's not by asking people for what they think that you will find the best way. Personally, I would prefer solution 1 that makes it possible to call the method statically. But you seem to prefer solution 2 because it's easier to use... So you see, no real good solution, it's up to what you want to allow with MDB 2.0. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
