I do this too, only I use a second (related) table [Sequence_Recyled] rather then a blob. Each record in the related table holds a return value, and a relational ID.
query before creating, use if found on return of a created value, a new record in the recycle table is created & populated. if deleting on a table with recyclable ID the old (previously used) ID goes into the recycle bin. If deleting lots of records - selection to array, array to selection. On Mon, 27 Aug 2018 08:29:55 -0600, Jody Bevan via 4D_Tech wrote: > > That is exactly what we do for our code.
