Actually John I asked for the best method to set default values in an
application, be it as a public variable or Lookup Table. I didn't know and
really still don't know which method will work best for my needs. I gotten 2
different methods of doing what I want and will try both before deciding. It
really amounts to about 5 or 6 default values, such as sales tax rate, late
fee charges, lock cut fee, admin fee, lien fee and nsf check fee. I use
these charges thru out the application for calculations and it would be nice
not to have to rewrite these values in code every time they change. I hope
that is clearer.
