Hi Richard,

Thank you very much for your suggestion.  Argh!  That crossed my mind when I
saw ResultSet->update() in the docs, but I incorrectly looked at
Row->update() (which doesn't support a hashref of fields to update) and
convinced myself it wouldn't be possible (but Row obviously doesn't
represent a single object returned by ResultSet, so I should have stuck with
the docs for ResultSet->update!).  That's what I get for staying up too late
playing with this vs. getting some sleep and trying it the next AM. :-(

I would still be interested to see if other folks have alternative
solutions.  It's also interesting to see how folks break up the flow of the
initial form display vs. the form updating (in one method of the controller
vs. multiple methods, how they organize it, etc.).  Are there any
recommendations on "best practices"?

Thanks,
Kennedy
