I have a Script to add a new row to my form:

form1.Subform0.Footer.Button1::click - (JavaScript, client)
// Add new Order line to end of list
_ItemDetail.addInstance();

I would like to have a box that as I add the new row ltters for that line will be added such as, Row A, next row B next row C and so on. THe letter for that row will remain as I delete the rows between. In other words if I delete row J, the following row which was K will remain K.

Thanks for your help with this.

Chris

There are several different ways you could approach this problem depending on the exact behavior you want. For a continous increment save the count in a hidden field. Then to get the character, just add the count to the character code for 'A', at the same time you create the new instance.
