Duane,

I would recommend using a dataModule at all times. DataModules are
reuseable. This means you can save yourself work in the long term. For
instance, you may make a dataModule for your upcoming FORM and then 2
weeks later reuse it when you make a related REPORT or another FORM. No
need to reinvent the wheel! It is very handy if the relationship has to
be altered since you need only alter it once in the dataModule and not
in the 2 or more FORMs/REPORTs that use it.

When creating your dataModule, keep in mind that dBASE tables (as I
mentioned earlier in this thread) should be linked using the
Master-Detail Linking. Tables from a RDBMS like InterBase, should be
linked using the MasterSource Linking.
