fever,
After reading a few of these replies, I realize how much I really don't know about what I am getting into. I do not want the module to do the parsing, I just want it to create an object that I can then manipulate. Each program's needs are going to be different. In my very ficticious/contrived example I obviously used the wrong key word DBParser. It is really supposed to take a record and build an object. You have given me some food for thought as have others.

Thank you - L~R
