Thank you James, I think I might climb out of this one. Things are still a bit ethereal in my mind but I think I am begining to grasp it much more now. I would like to see a mock-up of the code inside the component using srategy number 2. Perhaps some comments explaining the relationship between the data in the psuedo-constructor with the set method and the relationship between the set method and the insert method would help. Of coarse, I can't expect anything since you have been entirely too kind already to help me out thus far ;)
-Aaron P.S. I have been studying up on CFC's and trying to write code for about two-three weeks now and all I have is four, half-written components. I don't think I would ever get this if I wasn't working on it from 8-5 Monday thru Thursday and if I didn't have resources such as this list, multiple tutorials, books, and a subscription to vtc.com and communitymx.com.
