Thanks so much Chip for the suggestion, That thought also crossed my mind but unfortunately with the silly number of variables we currently have, over 20,000 in total, my initial tests suggested that it could seriously affect performance to go with that approach.
I'd really prefer not to have to do a complete rewrite of how we handle form fields since that would be very time consuming. Thanks again and definitely let me know if you or anyone else has any other idea.
