Are you creating the new record in the same table? And do you care what the numeric digits of the new job number are?

I think you are looking for the CopyMasterDetail functionality which allows you to create a new record in a table from an existing record.&nbsp; If you go to the HOME page and click on SETTINGS; then APP MANGEMENT and locate the Copy master &amp; detail records in the "Manage App Contents" section on that page, it will walk you through setting up a button to do this.&nbsp; You can also find help here: About Copy Master and Detail Records

Use the Copy Master and Detail Records option to add a Formula- URL field that displays as a button in a specified table that either: Copies a master record and its detail records.

It is not clear from your question whether you are trying to create the new job with a field-value pre-programmed with a default-value; or a specific one from another record.It would be helpful if you could elaborate on your question some more.------------------------------Laura Thacker (IDS)laura@intelligentdbs.com(626) 771 0454------------------------------
