(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi All,

I have create a table object and one of the field sets "Autoincrement" as True. This field is used for a list and with I new a record, the field will increase by one. However, when I delete all of the recored for the list, this field will not go back to 0.

For example. I have record 1,2 and 3. The Field have value 1, 2 and 3 for each record. After I delete all the record and create a new one. The field value become 4 with the new record. I expect it go back again and start with 1. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

    This is standard for an autoincrement field. It simply autoincrement itself on every record creation.

    For your scope, I suggest you to create an integer field and then handle its value via code (OnInsert trigger).

    Something like:

    OnInsert()

    if MyTable.FINDLAST THEN

     Field := MyTable.Field +1

    ELSE

     Field := 1;
