I'm trying Scatter, but I do not want to use the MemVar clause as it causes scoping problems. I tried Scatter with an array, but when I Insert Into the view the values are out of order and populate in the wrong places (due to the differences in the structures I think). I was hoping there was an option to use Scatter Name and then Insert Into from the obect, but the Insert line causes a syntax error on compiling. Other than explicitly stating the Values in the Insert Into statement, what can I do? Thanks!

Nadya,

Yes, that is what I ended up doing, but I thought it should be easier. I hope this makes it into the next version. Maybe I could write a function to handle this so it would loop through the fields and at least seem to work like an object.
