Showing ID value on forms

[felixvaz]

Hi everybody!

I'm a new OpenOffice user and i'm using Base for the first time.

I have some experience with some other database applications but i can't seem to find out how i can display the value of a table's primary key field during the table data entering on a form.

My goal was to display the record number of the record being inserted as it is a kind of serial number in my project.

When i'm inserting new data on the form, the text box created from the primary-key field of my table only displays "<Auto Value>" and i wanted it to display the current record ID.

Can someone help me?

Thanks

It should display the record ID after you finished entering the record and move to the next one.
