------ art_13289_32734560.1137773209543 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Assume the following structure: class Base end class Account < Base end class Opportunity < Base end I want to have a class variable Account.fields that is different than Opportunity.fields, so that all instances of Account can reference the Account.fields and all instances if Opportunity can reference Opportunity.fields and get the correct results. As a reference, I am trying to create something akin to ActiveRecord (for a different type of datasource) where each distinct object has it's own set of attributes. I've been looking at the ActiveRecord code, but being new to Ruby it's giving me a bit of a headache :) Thanks! Todd Breiholz ------ art_13289_32734560.1137773209543--
