Your not really missing anything, my example only showed grabing the first imaginary field. There are two ways you could add TDs for each row in the table. One way is to hard code the tags with the known field names (not recommended) the other way is to do an afields() before the scan and traverse the array for each record setting your TD tags that way. Then if you wanted to get really fancy you could write a class that handles field widths and datatypes for your table structure and have it return an html string to fill a TR tag for any size table with any type of data. AFIELDS() loads an array with all the information you need to write such a method.

Using a for loop to traverse the fields while scanning 1500 records would be nearly a blink of the eye.
