Thanks James.    They actually got their 'out' on a form previous to the
detail one where they enter the full detail once the number is assigned.
At that point they can submit or cancel, but once they submit, it's too
late because the number and other pertinent info has already been written
to appropriate tables.  A couple of times they have changed their mind
after submitting the number, but we decided they should just void that
order instead of trying to set the counter back one, cause it would require
deleting the new row in one table and setting the counter back in the
master ID table.  Their mind change usually comes after they're out of the
system and decide they don't need that item after all!  Maybe there's a way
to automate the void/cancel, but I'm definitely not there yet . . . :-)

Thanks, Cathy

Cathy,

Don't forget to give your users an out.  They may decide they don't want to
enter a new form after all and need to exit, you could do this on your
BeforeUpdate as well.  This will allow the user the option to select Cancel
on the message box to exit the form cleanly or OK to return to the form and
set the focus on the appropriate field.

James
