Thank you for your reply. I only have a few months of experience with this software, so it'll take me some time to get my mind around everything. It seems to make sense, I just have to technically figure out how to handle everything for this specific project/application at hand.
Do the *.DEF files come in to play here? I see them generated during merges and collects and skimming through them in notepad they seem to contain all the information for the template.
Thank you the link and the direction. I appreciate it!
