Then that number *could* be asigned to a totaly different record.. in this case a member profile. So if you have an invoice or some other record (in another .db file) that links to that record Id, your going to get the wrong profile (which could be bad). a way around this is to have a database where its only purpose is to create consectutive numbers that never get deleted. Those numbers are then used. ... thus the term "global ID". Donovan -- =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o DONOVAN D.
