Moving to icloud messed up my access to the list when I tried to post something earlier. It still may apply.

Might want to look at the code in the A4D.Debug library "dump selection". It is fairly easy to start with this code and create a collection instead dumping the record(s) to html. But, if you are just looking at certain tables, shouldn't a rowset give you what you need? It is a collection, you just need a map. You could use code from dump selection to create the map. That is more or less what I did in my Restful Active4D concept from a few years ago.
