Hi, and sorry for the late reply.

By "virtual" you mean a dummy column in the database? I tried to just 
add an entry to the array, but that gives problems with the SELECT 
statement in list mode. Is there a way to have this virtual field 
without having an actual unused column in the MySQL database?

Or do I totally misunderstand?

Again, this would require a virtual field? Hopefully I won't have to 
have a real MySQL column for this as well.

Another thing I need is to be able to add a new record in another table 
on-the-fly; and then insert a reference (foreign key) to that record in 
the current form. I guess this is doable with the above method too, 
using external subforms. It's a shame that PME does not currently 
support this by itself, because this would make it vastly more powerful 
for more complex database designs! (in contrast to just having one main 
table) Is something like this currently planned for a future release? 
(Maybe I could be of some assitance)
