Can you have a stored procedure that will return the data based on the year/month you pass to it, and then map the stored procedure to return your PercapHist entity?

The mapping to the storage layer, which is done by EF not DevForce, is static and can't be changed at runtime.   You're best bet here is probably a stored proc query or view.

I know that my DevForce entity model needs to know my tables ahead of time to take a snapshot. But how do I handle this situation. I have a base table named PercapHist. Each month a new table is created in a stored procedure. (ex PercapOEDues1301, PercapOEDues1302 etc.)

In a certain routine I need to know if the percap routine was run for a previous month or already run for the current month. such as the following

string thisMonth = (percapMonth.Year + percapMonth.Month).ToString();
string percapThisMonth = "PercapOEDues" + thisMonth;

DateTime lastPercap = percapMonth.AddMonths(-1);
string lastMonth = (lastPercap.Year + percapMonth.Month).ToString();
string percapLastMonth = "PercapOEDues" + lastMonth;

Now I need to query either of the two tables PercapThisMonth or PercapLastMonth and see if they have any rows in them.
