Hi again...

I want to make a serial number without use the "Auto Enter" from File maker.

I have 2 DB (invoice_db and clients_db), and I have a many globals in a "Tools Layout", from this layout I have a global field (inv_number_start), in this filed the user get in the invoice number where start, so when a user make a Invoice Start in this number and then make the sequencial numbers (i.e. If global field have 100, the fisrt Invoice start in 100, the next is 101, etc.).

I knowed if I use the serial number from File Maker can do this, but I need to do with this process.

If you know some method please let me know.

Thanks a lot

GRACIAS

If you are using FileMaker version 5.5 or later, you may wish to use the 'Set Next Serial number' script step to specify that serial numbers should start from the number in your global field.

From there on you would then be able to employ the standard serial numbering mechanism provided in the auto-entry options.

Thanks Is working!!
