Erik, Exactly, I just want to load two separate property files that contain unrelated values; I more or less answered my own question through some experimenting. In any case, thanks for the clarification. Since I would normally defer to your expertise, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding something.
Thanks!
