Michael, Just my two cents....
I would give the users a but that says... "add multiple billing areas from this state" and have it open another dialog. That dialog would have a table field and the user would be able to "Select all" or select a sub set of the records in the table field. Then a button that says "Create records for selected Billing Areas" that loops over the selected records in the table and closes the dialog. That allows the user to see that there are really 1500 Billing Areas in that State before you go off and create 1500 records. But it still allows them to do just that when it is really needed too. It also gives you a shot at telling the user things like... "You selected more than 50... are you really sure? (Note this will take a while so be patient after you say 'Yes'.)" But in general table looping is the way I would go with such an activity.
