Create new record

[Alan T]

Just wonder if I press the * button on the record selector, is there a new
record already inserted?
I have a autoincrement field in a record, I would like to know if the new
record is really appended so that I can get the latest autoincrement number.

Alan,

When pressing the * the focus is set to the first field of the table. You'll
not get a new autonumber unless you start typing something in another field.
So if you are looking for the next autonumber this can be tricky. There might
be some gaps in the autonumbering and that makes it hard to predict what the
next one might be.
