Paul, 'itsisnofun' sent me a sample solution yesterday that looks like it will work. I'm refining the programming now to make sure I can integrate it with my other files. If it works (& I really think it will) he will probably post his solution here. I'm sure I'm not the only person to face...

Mike, Maximum 65 repetitions on the repeating fields. I'm with you on the puzzle aspect. Even when I can't solve it, I still learn something in the process. Paul, Thanks for reading & offering your take on this. I do realize repeating fields are a royal pain - even FileMaker recommends not...
