is it only so you can show the users a nicely numbered list? if that is the case, then you should just number it when you print out the data to the user.. you don't have to use a database field for that.

SDE,
As you mentioned above, why do I need to number them?
I'm not numbering the records to output a numbered list, so why do I need the ID's?
I'm now confused, so do I need the ID's now? :-)
But how will the code now which records to delete?
Many Thanks,
