>>Do you also have an insert trigger on the woSF table in the main DBC also calling getNextKey()? That would cause the function to fire when the record was physically added to the table (I tried it to make sure).

Nope, No triggers.

Since my form is rather complex, this prompted me to make a simpler version. I think I found the problem. I wan't using APPEND BLANK, I was using INSERT INTO, and it seems that was causing the problem. I switched to APPEND BLANK and the problem went away.

Thanks for the help.
