Shane,
I've been lurking this discussion between you and Paul, gratefully! I must
say this technique for storing multiple new records in FMP that you have
shared is superb! Like you, until now I thought that "create new record with
data" was about as fast as it could get. Many thanks for sharing this
fascinating technique.
