Hi Bill,
Thanks for the tips. Having parenthesis after the method name confuses CF,
even the docs say that CF needs the parenths to differentiate between
properties and methods. The this stuff works does not even come close to
they way the docs said it would work. It's not ideal situation to have to
set the properties directly. This breaks encapsulation. In any case at least
it's working now so I can move on. Thanks again. --Tom
