Hi salahnecibi,



If you have table grid then try something like this.



procedure frmMyForm_grdTableGrid_OnCellClick (Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer);
var
    id: integer;
begin
   id := (frmMyForm.grdTableGrid.dbItemID); // Get ID

   id := id + 1; //increment ID

// use this if you want to fill the edit box before you do the database search
  frmMyForm.edtEditBox.Text := intToStr(id);  

 // use this if for some reason if you want to keep th eID number for use elswhere in your program
   frmMyForm.edtIDEditBox.Text := sqlExecute('SELECT id FROM TABLE WHERE id="'+intToStr(id)+'"');
end;

If you are not using a table grid then just shout and alternative code can be provided.

On a clear disk you can seek forever

Hi CDB and thank you.

i don't use table grid i am using the text fields to have predefined values from the db

Re: select * from ??

Form1.edit1.value := SQSExecute('select max(id) from table') + 1;

Use this queery on form onshow event or button on click

Re: select * from ??

Re: select * from ??

salahnecibi,

procedure Form2_OnShow (Sender: TObject; Action: string);
begin
    If Action = 'NewRecord' then Form2.edit1.Text := SqlExecute('Select Max(id) From tablename') + 1;
end;

If the value you are pulling is the primary key(id), It's ok to show this value, but I would be very careful in allowing users to manipulate this value.
