I have been thinking of transactions but what I've found by googling so far doesn't sound encouraging.

Semi-random thoughts:

- Are you using FileMaker Server to host the database? If not, this may help.

- Are you creating the record via the script and then adding in data? Is this the problem? Have you tried creating the record with the data as a single action?

- Can you not catch errors and retry?
