Part of the "niceness" of it is that it also uses the link display functionality in the outputted table. I'm sure I could make it better to use, possibly even use Structures_DataGrid for the output. You can also affect how the table is displayed and how the form is displayed / works through the config options of FormBuilder. Such as defining the fields to render or the use editable fields *per-table*. You just add it to the DataObject and it magically appears in the form. -- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder - The database at your fingertips http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
