Assuming you open or attached a Tcursor(tc)
Move tc to wherever you want put the record like tc.end(), tc.home(), whatever.
Insert a new record after, before, etc.
Then say you have a column of record numbers called RECORDN, simply use tc.RECORDN.cmax()
That will give you the maximum # in that field in the entire table.
Then tc.RECORDN = tc.RECORDN.cmax() + 1 will do the trick.
