Ralph,

Thank you very much for these suggestions. Unfortunately none seem to do quite what I want. However, without them automatically creating the record, and use of the subfield function in the relevant records in the subpanel I get almost all that I wanted.

Thank you for the responses and pointing out the error of my ways! I can
see now clearly where I was going wrong.

Having clarified my thinking I have a related question which I would
appreciate some help with following:

Panel 1 contains a number of fields including: A field to capture the
name of the client which can be an individual or a company, and another
field which is a flag field and which is either a "I" or "C" (format A1).

In a second panel I will have a name field (among other fields, which I
will be using the subfield function).

What I would like to do in Panel 1 is that if I enter a name in the name
field and an "I" in the flag field then a record is created in the
second panel, putting the name in the name field. But if I type a name
and "C" in the flag field then no record is created in the second panel.

Trying a combination of data links and If statements does not seem to do
it. Help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Another possibility:

An Exception List Index, which is placed in the Panel Link Field List, that
excludes all records with 'C' in the Flag Field.
