Hi Larry,
Long time no speak. Hope you're well and glad to see you're still
using DP.
I have to confess that, in the twenty or so years I've been using
DP, I've never used a ::J field, always having used ::I. I actually had
to take a look in Help to find out the difference. Having done that,
your question does seem to make some sense. ::J sets the field to
increment at create, whereas ::I sets it to increment at save.
So, if you have used a ::J field and have not removed the formula
which was originally there, then the field will increment when the
record is created, but will presumably then be recalculated by the
formula. This will effectively remove the auto-increment you are
seeking. Of course, if the formula uses the value in the field then
that value will affect the calculated value.
If you have left the formula there, try removing it, or just setting
the field to not calculate at all.
Hope this makes some sense.
Cheers,
Brendan.
