Re: [S2] form population problem

Thanks once again, Dave. I am more than just a little embarrassed. Seems I focused too much on S2, instead of core Java (auto-gen can be a bad thing sometimes). "private" was the problem. Such a freshman error ... shadman --- shadman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > private Department get

Re: [S2] form population problem
