I'm doing a DT Trial right now. I've gotten the Kissell book and it's very good on many things but has not helped me figure out how to link documents to a sortable spreadsheet, which is my primary goal right now. Perhaps I will discovery I cannot do this with DT as I continue the trial.

I can't quite visualize what you're trying to accomplish, but if you can explain it in more detail I might be able to offer some guidance. Feel free to contact me by email; this might be too long to handle in comments.
