Hi,

Thanks for your help.

After seeing your message, I came to know that I have to use trigger, then I found out a way in IB expert tool to easily create autonumber using generators and triggers.

There are severeal ways ...

Try with a BeforeInsert TRIGGER, with a body like

if (ID is Null) then ID = gen_id(YOURGENERATOR, 1)

- the syntax may be slightly off, but you get the point
