Is it possible to use node_load to get values from a node in a node reference field? I can't seem to get node_load to work, or I'm not use the object correctly? 

$site = node_load($node->field_client_group_site[0]['nid']);
$node_field[0]['value'] = $site->field_id_number;

Figured it out. I needed the full node object path.

I hate when these things are left unfinished. This is exactly what I need. Anyone know what he means?

This will work:

$artid = $node->field_ref_image_main[0]['nid']; //this is the field that is the reference to another node. This gets the node ID and sets it to a variable.
$mynoder = node_load($artid, NULL, TRUE); //this loads the node using the id from the reference field.
$node_field[0]['value'] = $mynoder->field_image_main[0]['value']; //this sets the output to whatever field you want to pull from the referenced node. For example. I wanted to get field_image_main from the referenced node.

This should work perfect. Let me know if you have questions. never posted code on here, hope the format is right.
