Tracy, Thank you. That is pretty much what I have just started doing, until our server guys shut down dev :-(. I ran a test and saw that if the format was xml or e4x it kept the value.
I was already putting the items in a value object for another collection so this should work out quite well. Just one of those unexpected features :-) Thanks again for your help.
