It could happen if you had a hard crash at the instant that record we being created, so in all likelyhood it was *never* a valid customer record. I would suggest upgrading to 1.8.5 (not because of anything that will fix it), but because of the nature of the upgrade process, it "self-heals" floaters so that you will be able to delete them properly. >In Preferences Auto Assign unique ID is set to no. Can I set it to yes and >then rebuild to correct this? How are they assigned if not Auto? Auto Assign Customer Number has nothing to do with Customer ID... So that won't change anything. - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
