Yes Geoff, that is what I did for some time before I became away of the Apple Script solution. You, of all people, understand the value of the nice, neat solution. It was so easy to put the relevant data into a FM layout, move over to LC, and then just click a button and the data appeared just where I wanted it, and formatted for maximum massaging in LC. No file create and export. No resulting file I need to remember to trash. Sooo nice and neat. I will miss it. Here is my dream, my dream DB management application: FM but with LC as the scripting language. Seems to me like a killer application. FM, in attempting to make it easy (?) for the novice, made it traumatic for experienced programers.
