Agreed with Mark, need to see the code...
how I would implement this is to have some JavaScript to get the current value of the field, +1 to it, and update the field as a separate call that would happen at the same time as the import.

- Yes, but if you just want a simple, native solution you can use numeric field + formula URL
var number mynewvalue = [NumericTest] + 1; URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#] & "&_fid_15=" & URLEncode($mynewvalue)

------------------------------ - Hi Everett,
Great insight - Can you expound on this a bit more.
My understanding is you would first need to create a numeric field which in this case would be "Numeric Test". You would then place this formula into a formula url field correct? Also would "fid_15" be the field id for "Numeric Test"?
Lastly which field would hold the count? Would it be the url field or the numeric field? I'm guessing the numeric but not entirely sure.
