How are you getting to the page on which you need to display the data on a single record here? I assume it will be something like:
View person -> -> -> See list of positions w/ dates - click on one... -> -> -> See position info If that's the kind of situation - you should be able to use the new PK you have created (and not have to extend the object). To 'overide' an inherited method, simply create a new method with the same name in the extended component. If you need to call the original base method you can use the super scope: <cffunction name="save" hint="Overriding save method"> ... ... <cfset something = super.save(...)> </cffunction> HTH Dominic On 23/04/2008, David Phipps <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Many thanks Chris and Dominic.
