I ended up taking Dave's query for a single record approach because it simplified a number of things. Because of the nature of the app, I update some of the data one column at a time, but it still needs to be indexed immediately. I have a CFC with an updateCollection method that I just pass a collection name and record ID.
Followup question. What contributes to the degradation of verity collections? Will updating single records in a collection kill verity search performance? What strategy should I take with repairing/optimizing collections...scheduled task to do it hourly, or would just once a day suffice? Thanks for the help, Pete ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
