Hi, i have form with master detail relation ship (invoicing form)
the detail block is tabular, displaying upto 7 records...
now my clients wants to show the serial number along with each record while feeding the data (this includes when insert, editing, deleting / clearing records) he wants to see the serial number as in MS access / MS techniques.
i tried to use the system variable to use :system.cursor_record;
but this dose not works.(in insert/edit/delete/clear record)

i tried to use the formula item in detail block to display the system.cursor_record value, but thats not accurate, also, if you use the F6 to insert record in between the queried record it starts from 1 again in between the records...

:block.serial_number := :system.trigger_record;
thanks it works ( i am using :system.trigger_record as a formulae to display its value along the detail block) but there is one issue so far i found that is
initially if u put 2 or more than 2 records then in post query go t the first recrd in detail block and press f6, the new record is created with seriano 2, thats ok, but hte origional serial no2 record is still showing 2 (and the further records number is wrong then.)

Yes, because trigger didn't fire for these records. It means that you might need to recalculate serial numbers every time you insert the record, or find a way to disable inserting records anywhere except at the end of the list (i.e. one after another, no records in between). This might be done with the :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD, I suppose.
