  12. I'm not sure I fully understand what your trying to do. If you only need
  13. to assign a unique number to you clients starting with 1000 then why not
  14. use something like:
  15.  
  16. [Clients]Client_Num:= sequence number([Clients]) + 1000
  17.  
  18. The sequence number is always unique -- until it wraps bitwise.
