Thanks for the response, Stephen. In my new file, for now, I am using the "-1" solution. It's worse, however, in the converted version of my FM 6 file. The exact same Auto-Entry calculation in the converted file returns "0", so every new row is numbered "0". I will not be recommending upgrading to FM 7 for any of my clients. It's just too flaky right now!

Hi All, This is my second (frtustrating) day with FM 7. I've been using FileMaker since the original version and I gotta say this is the hardest upgrade yet. Anyway, I posted a question about problems with Time Formats on MacIntouch and someone was kind enough to tip me off to this forum. Thanks! I'm trying to learn 7 by converting my "DisCollection" database of CDs and vinyl. I have a relationship of Tracks to Discs. The Disc layout has a portal with the Track "line items". I want the track numbers to be inserted automatically as I add each one. In the past I've used the Get (PortalRowNumber) function and had no problems. In version 7, however, the value retured for this function seems to be the Row Number + 1! The first row I enter gets a 2, the second a 3, and so on! Has anyone else seen this, or can anyone try reproducing it for me? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! - Mark Cirino FileMaker Version: 7 Platform: Mac OS X Panther
