Hi, I just stumbled on a fix (though I don't like it).

I put another record in the counters table (and left it blank), and in my code I do this:

SELECT tblCounters
LOCATE
skip
skip -1

before assigning the value to the form object and replacing the table value with the table value + 1.

This can't be the right way to do this, do either of you have any ideas?
