>I think i would go with creating when Save is clicked but i have another problem with that. my form is a one to many form and this autonumber is the field that sets the relation between both the tables, and in my form i have field from both the table and when i click Add the fields from the child table are not enabled (i'm using the wizstlye text buttons).how to avoid this.
