Try $emp->_dept->deptName. $emp->dept is the key member in your object, $emp->_dept gets filled in by the getLink() or getLinks() call. Hint for debugging: Do a print_r($emp) before and after your $emp->getLinks(). If things are working, you will not see a _dept member before and you will see a full one after. Another hint for debugging: $emp->debugLevel(1); // debug on // do stuff here .... $emp->debugLevel(0); // debug off hth, -- Mitchell Perilstein mitch at enetis dot net www.enetis.net/~mitch
