Thank you, We are using a custom app, and there is no workflow to get the Next ID prior to a submit.
The Next Request ID Block Size is set to one. Remedy has not crashed. These gaps seem random, sometimes one missing, sometimes several missing in a row. Funny though that it only seems to be happening since Monday. Anyways, thank you for the response.
