Hey Dave --

*HEADACHE* is the name of this game!  Try to avoid subfiles if you can,
but I bet you wouldn't have asked the question if you didn't want an 
answer...

Unfortunately, you've got to walk through each record you want to add
to the subfile -- create it, assigne the values and then *SAVE* the Subrecord.

When you select the *parent* record, it's the current selection, and the 
*FIRST* subrecord is the curren *sub* selection, if you will.

One trick that I like to use is to make a separate data file that's all
text (7-8 fields)  and dump the data to be exported into it.  Then you
can manipulate the data as you like and put it in to the appropriate data
file.

Hope this helps.
