Actually, if you just want to append to the end, pass dmMaxRecordIndex as the "atP" value, and skip the computation with DmNumRecords. DmNewRecord is documented as appending to the end if the atP value is greater than the number of records in the database, and the atP will be modified to return the index number the record got.
