timing queries..

["Schrecengost, James" <Schrecen@JM.com>]

Okay gang, here's something that has plagued me for a while, and I finally
understand what is happening, so I can ask a good question, rather than "It
doesn't work - help!"..  Here 'tis.
I have a child component that gets a single object from a repetition from
it's parent.
I need to use data from this object to query the DB for what the child is
showing.
This query needs to run immediately, thus showing the resulting data.
Now, when I set up the .wod like this:
Child: WOChild {
  childObject = currentObject;
}

it doesn't work. Now I figured out why.  Because, I put the DB Fetch in
either the Constructor, or the awake methods.
And, WO, for whatever reason, decides to run those before assigning the
childObject (where it gets the info for the query)..
Any ideas how to get around this??  Thanks!

These opinions are mine, and not necessarily those of my employer.
