In VFP, I want to generate an ID # and APPEND a record. I have tried two versions of code w/o success:

SELE Indiv
SET ORDER TO TAG idno
GO BOTT
nid = idno + 1
SET ORDER TO TAG Name
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE Indiv.IDNo WITH nID

The REPLACE line gives me an error message: Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword.

The following line, in place of the last two above, also bombs: Syntax error.

INSERT INTO Indiv (idno) VALUES (nid)

What am I doing stupid? TIA.
