I think there are only two ways to do it. Create a Class that keeps track of this Auto Increment Variable which will contain and auto increment every time you add 1 to the variable. Or you can link this to a bankEnd Database which will keep track of the number for you. There are 3 flavors these days with databases: 1. Use XML by converting it from the server either via Php or Coldfusion (or whatever other server language you like). 2. Flash Remoting 3. FDS
Also if you have many people using this datagrid if you don't use some kind of backend database, how are you going to keep track of who has the maximum number for you to auto increment. Let me know how it turns out.
