Thanks Mark. I tried that and it does not increment for me, but does refresh. So I added the apptoken and it continued to not increment ,but then also stopped refreshing.
Is there a syntax guide for formula URL and formula rich text somewhere?
I added the apptoken like this:
var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord &apptoken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx &rid=" & [Record ID#]
& "&_fid_99=" & ToText($NewValue);
I also noticed that my counter field is numeric and there is a function to turn NewValue ToText. Should I be using a text field; I thought the mathematical addition operator would not funtion with text.
