tiOPF Tip – Wiring Up A Simple Look-Up Table

I have a requirement for several simple database centric look-up tables in one of my projects.  They are no more complex than name-value pairs [EA-Each, CT-Carton, ... ] that get stored in the database and are fully editable by the users.  I needed to find a way around the tiOPF [the OPF of choice] default of using GUID OID values for any object you plan to persist because,  to my mind, there is something seriously wrong with storing “6FFC3175-37CD-4682-A599-EF6B86E1F397” over and over to represent “Each” where “EA” is more than up to performing the task.
