jasonwood Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Let's say you have a portal, and you "allow creation of related records". What if you wanted the related records (children), to be numbered sequentially FOR EACH parent as you enter them.... eg: each parent's first child will be "1", the second will be "2" etc. I understand that you can display the line number, but I'd like the number to be stored in a field in the related record. I know how to auto-enter a serial number... but this is a little different because it is specific to each parent. -- Jason Wood HeyWoody.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWeaver Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Use this auto-enter calculation: Max(ChildrenByParentID::ChildNo)+1 The Relationship should be a selfjoin in the child file based on the parent ID so that you are only finding the Max of the children of the one applicable parent.
