Nice. I had not used a collection object before. I would not have a primary key at the point of passing back the data (I would probably assign that key when I inserted it into the view in the calling form). Reading the help file, it seems as though you don't have to assign a key - any reason to do assign the key at the time of adding the object to the collection (ease of use later or good design?).
