Newbie here... is there anyway to get FileMaker to support an increment function that relies on the date?

I want to have my invoice numbers appear as 081005001,002,003...011,012, etc. (DATE&Increment)

When defining the field options I cannot get the serial function to work in conjunction with other types of options.

Thanks All!

Hi wbclassics! Try this. May be such?

Serial=Substitute(GetAsText(Date);"/";"" )&Increment
