Hi David, Thanks for the suggestion. Generally I do create records first but it seems that it is not practical in some situations (such as reviewing an invoice then adding additional lines) because you don't know how many records may be required - if any. I'll take a look at Razzak's sales model to see if I can find any more enlightening tidbits.
