Hi Paul,

I don't use IBO Objects at all. (yet) :-) So I can't give you specific
advice - but I can tell you what works for me.

I use the IB objects. (Yes, they are different). I will almost always have
a TIB_Insert transaction, a TIB_Select transaction, a TIB_Insert txn and a
TIB_Update txn. In other words, a data module will have at least 4
transactions on it.

In some cases, especially regarding selects, there will be more transaction
objects on the data module. The bottom line for me is that I will almost
NEVER have two objects sharing the same transaction object at any one time.

Part of the reason I do this is simply to keep it more "clear cut" for
myself. :-)

Notwithstanding that, I try and keep the number of objects to a minimum.
And as far as possible, only ONE of them is open / active at any one time.
Only in those cases where I need two separate datasets to be active at the
same time will I have a separate transaction object.

This may seem like overkill; it may be my old BDE habits; it may be a waste
of time and code.

But it works for me ... :-)

I'm not sure if I am explaining this very well ... ask any questions. And
my approach is open to suggestions as to how to do it better.

Regards

Tim
