Thamnks for the info Pat. It would meet my needs ideally to use a query in the report. I will make the change in my db.

Travis... still no luck. I changed the MyVal in the code you sent to MyVar. Otherwise an "variable not defined" error came up. In the samp_id field the code will add 1 to a numeric previosly entered value, but it will only do it for one record. If I enter a value such as GH184-1 then the code...
