I like this, because of its simplicity.
However, I think it will need a small adjustment, to avoid the field being too small (because of the initial 0). Also, an AS clause is appropriate. Something like
SELECT Inc(@lnCounter) + 00000 AS IncCount.
Note: I don't have VFP available to test right now.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
