In our AREV 2.12 app that we have just upgraded to OI we had a need on occasion to change the ascending deafult number of the next key in a certain file. Old Arev folks should remember that simply typing an "= in the key field resulted in a prompt for the new key value. This feature is not available in OI. Short of writing a program to modify the appropriate entry in the dictionary, is there any other way to accomplish this in a deployed app?

No.

But use promoted events (REVMEDIA passim) and you only have to do it once!

Bill,

As Andrew mentioned you can use promoted events (there have been many discussions about then and a really good 'definition' on how by DonB (do a search on prompted etc).

We use a single StoredProcedure which we put on any prompt that uses a sequential id. Here we have the ability to find holes in the numbering (if required), reset the id (with ' etc. This routine is called from the LOSTFOCUS event of a control and proceses all validation. So we don't use Default (although we do store to same location).

JUST another way to do it.

Willing to share that SP?
