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!

Steve,

Yeah, one of the issues is that there are many, many fields and I was just trying to simplify the process. I ended up doing an Append Blank with Scatter/Gather Name.
