Ahhhhhhhh....
I'm moving a project from ArcGIS Data Driven Pages into QGIS. I'm not
sure if Data Driven Pages was the best way to do it originally....and
that's why I was shying away from Atlas when Alexandre brought it up
Now I've got two choices when I had none.
Good People - Thank you.
Nyall - Thanks for all the stuff you're doing in Composer.

That does give me a workaround of sorts....
Is there any way to pull from a table and place the information in composer
- a table that isn't being used by Atlas?

Atlas IS the correct way - it's not a workaround ;). However, if
you're after an expression, then use a combination of getFeature and
attribute. This is how it works:
First, use getFeature to find a matching feature from a layer:
getFeature( 'my_layer', 'id_field', 5)
This will return the feature from "my_layer" with the attribute
"id_field" equal to 5.
Next, chain this into attribute:
attribute( getFeature( 'my_layer', 'id_field', 5) , 'feature_name')
This will return the value stored in the attribute "feature_name" from
the matching feature from "my_layer".
Hope that helps!
