The answer you're looking for is:

lnRecNo = RECNO()
GO BOTTOM
*!* Get value
GO (lnRecNo)

That's not what you want to do, though -- what happens if two users try to do an insert at the same time, and both get the same number? Check in TasTrade.DBC for the NextID() function: that is a better way to handle auto-increment. Also, auto-increment has been announced as a feature for the next version of VFP.
