The exmaple file I have is called "Function Junction" from Brian
Dunning's website <http://www.briandunning.com>
It uses a Text field with 300 repetitions. I don't know whether or not
it will still work (or has been updated) for the "fixed" versions of
FileMaker Pro.

I also have another one of his files called "ChartMaker Pro 7", but
it's a locked one, so I don't know how it actually works. (You probably
have to pay to unlock it and find out.)
