Phillip,
Yes. I get the same results. FileMaker 7 appears to give record numbers from
1.0-127.0, then is skips to 3.2768E+4 (or 32768), at the 128th record..
If you change the script to:
get ID of last record as integer
..you will see the real number.
What I observe is that at the 128th record, the ID is 32768, and for every
record thereafter, the ID is incremented by 1.
Odd yes, I don't see why the jump in ID numbers, but I definitely get the
same thing.
QUESTION: May I ask this of you? When I run this script to create 1000
records, is it me or is FileMaker 7 much slower at creating records than its
predecessor FileMaker 6? It seems to take a great deal of time, and my DB
only had 1 field.
Best Regards,
Jake
