For the ItemID field (must be a numeric field) set the Default Value option in the Field Properties pane to +. Now the field will automatically use the number you have in the Database Options panel and that number will increment by one whenever a record is added. This is discussed in the Field Properties section of the help file under “Creating a Unique Record Number”.
Hi Jim.
Looks like I misread a thread where Matt was looking for info on the Record ID attribute. Your comment “It should be removed” was actually referring to mention of a PDF book. And Matt asking “Is this available anymore?”
