Hey Paulo, thanks for that tip.  I didn't know about #var sql_delimiter 
and the ability to put more than one sql commands in a sql method.  I 
had wondered about it but the #var sql_delimiter was the key.  With this 
information, no I don't need to insert into the REQUEST object.  But I'm 
still curious <g>.

Unfortunately, putting last_insert_id() directly into the values of the 
second insert did not work.  It works from mysql command line.

<!--#var sql_delimiter -->
INSERT INTO entry_tbl 
	(master_id,submitted_by,staff_id,version,comment)
	VALUES (LAST_INSERT_ID(),
		<!--#sqlvar entry_tbl.submitted_by type=int -->,
		<!--#sqlvar master_tbl.entered_by type=int -->,
		<!--#sqlvar entry_tbl.version type=string optional-->,
		<!--#sqlvar master_tbl.comment type=string optional-->)

It surprised me that it didn't work as I thought it would get sent enmass 
to mysql for processing so I had thought that the DA wouldn't interfer 
with it.
