No problem, you're the boss ;) Is there a specific task you can assign to me ?

Help design the datasource driver for DO. Or think about the possibilities of a global datasource driver. My ideas are below for the idea of a global datasource driver. This concept removes the need for a switch detecting what source i am using. The downside is the class is not something that will "do everything" for the app programmer, making the programmer have to think about what "driver" to use. The good, no switch statement that needs to be updated every time we add a new data source as well as the extra processing time. I just came up with a simple decorator patter, let me know if you have any other better design ideas. class Structures_DataGrid_Source_DataObject extends Structures_DataGrid_Source {

    function Structures_DataGrid_Source_DataObject($source)
    {
        parent::Structures_DataGrid_Source($source);
    }

    function fetch($source)
    {
    }

    function clear()
    {
    }

    function autoGenerateColumns()
    {
    }

} class Structures_DataGrid_Source {

    var $source;

    function Structures_DataGrid_Source($source)
    {
         $this->source = $source;
    }

    function fetch()
    {
    }

    function clear()
    {
    }

} My only request, please don't use one letter variables! I hate them and it makes sense to the creator but means jack to anyone else :) Andrew
