Change the Record Number

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

All records entered are assigned a record number in sequential order after the highest record number in your records data.  When entering the first record the screen shown below will be displayed for you to enter the first record number - we recommend starting with 1000 if you have less than 9,000 records and 10,000 if you have more than 9,000 records.  You can disable the automatic numbering by leaving the starting number at zero (0) or on the Preferences | New Record Defaults screen.

Once a record is entered the record number can be changed by clicking on the Record Number value on the Record Detail screen or selecting  "Change the Record Number" from the Tools menu.  The current record number will appear in the entry area.
