I’m still getting used to this new 4D feature. Thanks for reminding me of that. Regarding sequence numbers and using the “auto increment” or the “Sequence number” command, I always use that. I agree it’s the best, period. But this is really a discussion of how one might use shared storage. Rightly or wrongly. Trying to understand how to use this new 4D feature and gather some ideas on possible ways of using it. I’m still learning and trying to understand it.
