How do I create multiple child records by specifying a date range?

This sounds a lot more doable. We can have up to two weeks of vacation. I'd much rather click on a button 14 times then enter 14 records one by one and fill out all the required fields. Thank you very much for the response. How would I make this work? 

The use-case for my script approach is for pre-populating attendance records with an empty/unknown status, and I run it for 30 days out to handle people who are going on vacation for up to 2 weeks so they can get their anticipated daily attendance updated before they go.

Just to chime in here.

I had done an app which does not use script, but which can generate X number of records.  The technique involves using a table preloaded with 500 records just numbered from Record ID 1 to 500.  Then using a parameter type record to save parameters it uses API_RunImport to import qualifying records from that table to the to the target table to create up to 500 records.

So its still requires a "consultant" to set this up, but there is no script required.

Very cool! I'm certainly not disparaging consultants or code at all. I've been helped greatly over the years by Josh Shortlidge at Data Collaborative, and every dollar has been well-spent. I just want to keep things as simple as possible. Mark, you are one of the best at that. Thanks for all of your support on this forum.
