You can use the constructors in the following ways:
!D = OBJECT MDB(!!CE)
 
!D = OBJECT MDB(!!CE Name
 
!D = !!CE.MDB()
 
!D = !!CE.Name.MDB()
 
In all cases, !!CE is assumed to be a DB database element and !!CE.Name is a STRING object containing the element’s name.
These methods should assist performance improvements to AppWare by making it easier to get from Database element to Object.
