Thanks, this is exactly what my brain was striving for -it [my brain] has a
detailed knowledge of arrays and only a topical knowledge of structures, your
explanation really clarifies it for me.
Luckily the setup I'm working with has a built in unique numeric identifier so I
won't have to use CFID/CFToken
Thanks! Your example is a huge help :-)
