Subject: Hank, Once the bill entry calculates the 'entry count' *variable*, does it become a *constant* and no longer is dynamic? (more)

The reason I ask is:

Let's say a user enters all these notes with the 'entry count' variable, and then later a bill entry is deleted. All the bills from the 'deleted bills' to the 'next bill entered' will have incorrect bill entry numbers on their respective notes.

Well, at least this should occur much less than if we had a 'hit entry count'.

I am correct with this assumption? Please correct me if I am wrong.

I guess the preferred solution would be to allow the 'entry count' *variable* to be entered directly into the notes and dynamically access the user's 'bill entry counter' each time the bill report is accessed. Perhaps, this is too much data access overhead?

I post this here, so that Georgers using this new feature might be aware of its behavior.
Hank, feel free to tell me to shut up now. *smile* - Just be nice… You don't want to hurt my alter-ego's feelings *Yuk, Yuk, Yuk*
Good Luck & Happy Georgering!

:
: It is a "Default User Note", stored on your User Preferences Page. It is automatically inserted into the bill notes area when you enter new bills.

: And IN ADDITION, there is one variable available, that if you include it in your Default User Note, it will automatically return your total bill count+1, so your default user note can be:

: "This is bill #@CNT@ I've entered.", and your total bill count is 4,332 - your user note will appear as "This is bill #4,333 I've entered." when you enter new bills. And it auto-increments as you enter further bills.

: NOTE: YOU CAN'T JUST ENTER @CNT@ in the bill user note section, it can only appear in your Default Note in User Preferences (for Friends of George only).
