Incremental Fields

[wordmuse]

Hi,

OK - another suggestion for the no-rest-for-the-weary-Kinook.

I'd like to see a field type called "incremental" which would let me increment new records by some increment.

For example, if the increment field was numeric, the next record would increment by +1. If it was alpha, you could increase it by a letter, and follow spreadsheet conventions to go beyond z, with aa, ab, ac, ... az, ba, bb, bc, ..., bz

And so on.

If doing both numeric and alpha is too much to ask for, then I'd be happy with just numeric.

What do you think?

Regards,
Bal
