Jose, I am trying to do the same thing, and have posted a couple of threads here but have received no response.
Guys, your suggestions are very helpful! I am understanding more how this can be done and I am sure that you are beginning to understand more as well, Jose. Instead of hijacking this thread or starting a new one for my particular db design and component based coding, I am going to keep watch of this thread and gleam what I can. That way, those of you who are providing tips and techniques can help more than one person at a time.
