Wow, you guys are really, really determined to classify me with the
people who think their CD trays are cup holders.
"Random" implies that I arrived at the syntax by banging my head on the
keyboard and accepting whatever gibberish came out. It's another thing
entirely to have _tried_ to understand it, read over all the relevant
documentation, tried several different approaches, and still not found a
working answer.
I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't understanding the RECORDS
object correctly; that's why I was _asking for help_. Or is this the
wrong list for that?

I didn't need to be told it couldn't work; I had tried it and seen it
not working for myself. What I needed help with was understanding WHY
it didn't work. Which I only got after pushing back on the initial "hey
stupid, go read the manual" responses, citing TSByEx and TSRef to
explain how I got where I was, and taking a healthy dose of
condescension in return.
But thank you at least for eventually taking the time to explain what I
was doing wrong.
