This product has saved me hours of programming and it was well worth the cost.

You could create a custom post type and register meta fields that could be populated by submissions from the form. That would keep all of the information inside that single post.
The following articles show you how to create meta boxes and fields for a custom post type in WordPress.

Thanks for the information on meta fields. I do think I found a way to make this work and it looks like it is built into to plugin. Looks like if I choose to not choose anything in the post content dropdown, or type anything in the custom content box, the post will dynamically generate its content from my custom display.
What I wanted to achieve with this is the ability to edit the form data from the post, and add a widget that would let me show tags associated with the post. I am almost 100% sure I have found out how to do this. However, if anyone knows a better way I would try that too.
