Csongor,

I have been too much optimistic earlier. The method works but in effect when 
importing instances, the slots of the object properties are not filled at all, 
neither direct or inverse properties. Only the datatype properties are filled. 
Is this a conceptual limitation of DataMaster or can be resolved in someway?
