Default how to make sesquential invoice numbers

Hi Chris,

I find the idea of using a random number
function to generate invoice numbers
intriguing and certainly not intuitive.

See, however, J.E. McGimpsey's
suggestions at:

Using sequential numbers

Hi Chris,

Sounds like Norman's tip has helped your problem.
Please don't be offended by my flippant remark,
your use of rand() is just a little unusual.<g

Sincerely
Martin
