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

[Bob Patin]

Just curious: why don't you continue to create the calc field that's  
equal to get(recordID)? It's simple enough, and certainly won't make  
any difference in the general scheme of things...
