Gary,

>>You may want to check out the parameters for primary key.<<

Good idea. It worked after I added the parameters. Don't know why I didn't think of that on my own.

>>Don't do that! <s> <<

OK, I want <g>.

>AfterNew() is the logical place but remember it fires when you create the record so if you abandon the record, you have allocated a key<<

Yes, I noticed this before.

Your help is always great as usual, and I am appreciative.
