[FX.php List] [Sort of on topic]Is there a way to make a selection of one record in FileMaker the -recid way?

[Dale Bengston]

In FMP, I believe the only way to expose the record's ID is with a  
calc field. It doesn't exist in the UI otherwise. In the XML, the  
record's key in the array is a combination of the recID and the modID.  
I never use calc fields to bring back the recID since I can derive it  
from the key(s) in the data array returned by FX.
