Hi Kev,

When you serialize an object, any of its references are also serialized.
If any of the referenced objects do not implement Serializable, then
an exception will be thrown.

You can override serialization partially or fully. You can indicate
which references you do not want to serialize, or you can override the
serialization completelly (see tutorial).

This override of the serialization will permit you to:
1.reconnect to the database.
2.calculate/initilize any new data.

Remember : you may only serialize the button or grid if these are implement
Serializable and all references attached to them do the same.
