ID Field

khaled

A quick one - I used the following rule:

Account IS NEW Then
Account.Number = MAX Account.Number + 1

It worked like a charm. How do I make this field uneditable? I don't want the users to type in their own numbers and ruin the auto numbering.

Also, Is there a way for that field to show the next number in sequence automatically instead of staying blank while I type in the rest of the form?

Cheers.

Sorry I couldn't find the Edit button. I figured out how to make it uneditable. I'd like to replace that one question with another: Is there any way to make an attribute's text different colour, bold, underline in the form view? I'm aware that I am able to display it in a custom query but I'd like an attribute to display as bold when typing the data in.

Thanks.

It's generally always easier to ask and get answers instead of reading the how to! 😃

Sorry I will read before posting from now on.
