You could even grab the increment procedure from the id table and increment it that way. Most ID's are base10 with integer values, which makes things easier if you know that will always be the case. Hope that helps.

Thanks, Jim. I did start thinking about this in this way and I've decided to modify the dbManageform class (modify a subclass of it) to do add a couple of checks as well:
Ask if Character keys to be incremented are padded left with zeros or spaces or not padded;
Check if the row exists in Id - if default value is 'newid()' add it if missing (this is great for adding new tables or changing existing tables);
Check for multiple entries for the table in case of more than one field asking to be incremented.
