Blair, That is exactly what I am looking for Thanx!
Some more questions if you don't mind. 1. On one content type, we may need to do some manipulation of data before being saved, where in your example would I include that logic? 2. On several content types, we will need to execute some external code after being saved, where in your example would I include that logic? I assume I can put this logic inside <ft:ProcessForm /> but not sure where. Thanx Again.
