Hi Geoff,

The form.process() only populates the forms fields
The data I am dealing with has compex data types - arrays, queries, structs


I am not sure why you are trying to move my away from dmInclude / wbxprocess
way of doing it.
Is there something wrong / bad about this approach?

Though I am concerned about getData() being called multiple times per page
