Auto Increment Sample ID in a Sample Card Edit Form

MichellePearson — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 21:21:30 GMT

I'm designing a form in ArcPad studio for sample card descriptions. I need a SampleID field that auto increments by one with each new sample point collected, but allows the user to change the number if necessary. The field in the gdb is a numeric, double precision number. The numbers on the physical sample cards are 6 digit numbers.

I see the option for auto incrementing in the control properties of my "Edit_samplenum" text box, but it is grayed out. In the tree window I changed the auto increment line to "autoincrement=true", but that just puts a checkmark in the the grayed out box.

I have a VB script that we used with our old ArcPad 6 & 7 forms that worked just like we needed it to. Is there a new script on the ArcPad forum somewhere I'm not seeing? I'm not a programmer so I was hoping there would be a simple selection for this in APStudio. I tried to attach the script to this post but it's too big (15k) in txt format & it wouldn't let me attach a .vbs file.

How can I get this to work?

I have the same greyed out problem. Ever figure it out?
