Thanks guys! I'll play with this some more when I come home this evening..
One more question if I could.. If I get the plumbing all plugged in as needed, do I ned to do anything in particular with the view for the address object to get it to show up when adding or editing a user record or will it get pulled in automagically? Just curious. Thanks! I'm still trying to figure this all out in my head!
