Thank you, Bill. I tried all of your "layout" syntax examples, but
each one caused a crash. I now suspect that something very insidious
is going on, like a printer problem or some other seemingly unrelated
issue that is causes the crashing.

Thank you, Tim. I am able to use "Copy Record," but "Copy All Records"
also is crashing FMP. There are currently 71 records, though in the
future there could be as many as 1000 to 1200. I don't think that the
problems I am experiencing are related to memory, however, as the
field I am trying to obtain is simply a number... a list of 71 numbers
shouldn't be causing me this much of a headache.
