Re: How to create many entries in Remedy form at a time from C# code?

I'm afraid you will have to use CreateEntry...trying to do any kind of bulk insert is a royal pain, since you also have to get the NextID from arschema and increment it. The safest way is, definitely, the Remedy APIs. Steve On Jan 8, 4:52 pm, maggie2007 d90...@yahoo.com wrote: How to create
