No, that method is used by the InsertRecord custom tag when a chooser control is submitted and when the primary key is assigned by the database (an Identity column). You can call this method from your own handcrafted code as you like, though. > 2) For Navigational Menu's, I realize that adding additional Modules adds > the menu link automatically on the admin side, but adding additional links > on the menu's elsewhere takes code changes outside the IDE?

What I do during development is gradually add the links to modules to my navigation devices after I've finished them, but while I'm still working on the modules I access them from the links generated by the Plum IDE.
