populate sObject Dynamically
All,
I have several tables to update (including some Custom Objects) from SQL. An xml document is used to specify the tables and fields to be updated (to avoid having to recompile every time someone asks for an additional field). The data is extracted from SQL into a DataTable in my vb code, so the values are also known.
Is it possible to specify the fields and values to populate an sObject with dynamically? Is there another method i'm missing for creating/updating records in SFDC that allows the use of field/value pairs?

Simon,
Thanks for the response. Are you recommending the Sforce Provider as an integration solution or do I have the wrong component?

Simon,
A light bulb is now glowing dimly over my head. If I understand you correctly, the Partner wsdl will allow me access to my Enterprise Data by using less structured methods (like field/value pairs)...

Simon,
The light glows much brighter now. It appears the Partner wsdl provides a rich environment to manipulate SFDC data dynamically. Everything I needed was demonstrated in the Sample.vb application or at least enough of a hint was provided to get coding.
There will be an extra ten in your paycheck this week. Thanks for the help!
