Serial Value scripts

[mji_platinum]

I currently use an auto entry serial # as follows:

0506-01 (1st job of May)

0506-02 (2nd job of May) etc.

The auto enter function has worked fine until this point, but now I need to handle some additional functions. I need to have multiple records with the same # followed by a letter.

Example:

#0506-01a

#0506-01b

#0506-01c

then the #0506-02

I thought I had it figured out, but then it started removing the hyphen so it entered #050602.

Can this be done so sometimes it keeps the same number, but adds a letter, & other times it enters the next serial value?
