Yeah learning curve may be a bit of an understatement in my case. I've not dealt with cfc's much so I'm way out of my comfort zone.
I read the 4.0 documentation on list (http://docs.farcrycms.org/ display/FCDEV40/list) and it said something about being able to pass it a query with value,name: ftListData ... OR a query containing the columns value & name. Example: queryNew("value,name") It sounds like you've worked with this field type alot. Is this not truly available... Anyway, thanks again for the continued help. I was looking at the library stuff but there's so little documentation and even fewer examples. I really like the formtools and for basic form extension it's so much easier than the plps. I just need to get used to how they work and advice from people like you is absolutely invaluable.
