Jason You know...
I didn't say you were an idiot, nor did I think it. If I did think that I probably wouldn't have replied but instead left you to bash your head against a wall wondering how to get the content. I simply pointed out some facts! And then I gave you a hint on how to get what you wanted. I'm not going to do it for you, and it wasn't meant as a offensive response. If you spent all day pouring over TSref then why would you just randomly create an additional property for 'source'? Thats akin to mounting 17 extra wheels to a car and then wondering why it doesn't drive the way you wanted it to - because it wasn't built to have an extra 17 wheels. And NO the example doesn't retrieve part of a record, it retrieve ALL of that record, but then goes on to create its own rendering definition through the 'conf' property - which your not doing, but would be one method of getting what you want. But again that's mentioned in TSref... So perhaps instead of assuming that I think your an idiot, start by looking at the response I gave and going to look at what I offered as explanation, example or suggestion. It might help you actually. Jason A.
