@Blair: I'll take a look... Thank you! @geoff: ooOoOoo... I'll take a crack at making my own FT component... And there's no reason why I wasn't using an array... To be honest, I didn't realize that was a choice :D I hoped that if I posted the two pieces of code I'm used to using and then asked questions, I'd get some insite as to which way to go... And received that I did!
Thank you both!
