Hey Olin,This is exactly what I was going to suggest in the first place! :) ... but then I didn't know if Damien really needed incremented sku values or not, so I thought I would show him the [cart] technique first, since it's the easiest and fastest to code.But hey, if the goal is to append records with each new record's sku value incremented one higher than the highest existing sku in the database, your code above can be modified just a little, and then integrated into an append context as follows:[append db=yourdatabase.db]sku=[search db=yourdatabase.db&grskudata=0&deskusort=1&max=1][founditems][math][sku]+1[/math ][/founditems][/search]Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.hui.net/dna/webdna.html
