Others will know this better than I. According to the manual, in Tango 3.x, "The
Insert Actions returns no results" - but the ResultSet, with Filemaker, seems to
contain the RecordID
Try looking at the @@ResultSet after an insert and you'll see the RecordID. This seems
to be the only way to return a response that includes the new values (which are ARGs)
along with the new RecordID. Or rather it may be the only way without using another
search step
See Steve Smith's recent reply on how to do this search step...
