Adding multiple marriages in AS

The Ancestry website recently added the parish records for both East and West Sussex.
This has resulted in over 100 marriages that I now need to add the full details for on my one-name study
However with a database of over 35,000 people and 15,000 sources it takes a while ot open every time in AS
I was wondering therefore whether anyone has had issues with adding multiple events in the past?

If you invoke AS by using the Ancestral Sources Data Entry plugin it has an option to Close on 'Save Entry to File' which if not ticked will allow multiple entries from AS.

I cannot remember what the AS default is after Save Entry to File.

Don't forget that AS is a free-standing program and can be opened and run independently. It's not necessary to 'launch' it from FH with the plugin.
I usually wait until I have a batch of entries to do, then run AS while FH is closed. AS will remain open until you close it.

Sorry been a busy day but thank you both for your thoughts

I keep forgetting that you can use AS on its own so thanks for that tip Lorna
