I'd like to use Server Connect to Insert multiple records based on user selection, ie 6 months or 12 months, then create the corresponding number of Insert field sets.... Is this possible without using another providers Extension?The purpose of this is to allow Users to create a predefined set of payment options for a Payment Plan.
I have searched but can not find a tutorial on this subject...

Hi Teodor,
I have convinced the client that this is not the way to go with regards to this requirement and have suggested a single Insert form that maintains it's previous inputs so the client only needs to change the date inputs. Ie, the Insert area is on the left and the related Accounts Plan is on the right. As each new step is added to the plan the details on the right are instantly updated to reflect the new record. The client can then add as many steps as they like in very little time.
The original client suggestion was to have 6 - 12 Insert forms (one for each month) on a single page, which turned out to be not only ugly and lengthy, but very tedious to complete.
I apologise for even considering using another Extension set to accomplish this. I have become accustomed to the ergonomics and functionality of the DMXZone Extensions. To use the 'other' Extension I have available would be akin to sacrilege
The client is happy, as am I, and that is the most important thing of all.
Thanks.
