I recently used it and it bombed out - i.e all the autonumbers generated by the append were the same and were negative! I think this was because one of the record IDs had been generated using [cart]. Also what happens if records are deleted, i.e. the IDs are not all fully sequential - does autonumber work OK in this situation? Thanks - Tom --0016e6d999dd8d7b24048addb801 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all,

A quick query on the reliability of the autonumber feat= ure for record IDs and when it should not be used. =C2=A0

Also what happens if records are deleted, i.e. the IDs = are not all fully sequential - does autonumber work OK in this situation?
