** 1. You could also do this with work flow to that you can provide a cleaner error message to your end users. Create a filter that does a set fields against the current form looking for the value entered. Set a temp field from the current form if the record is found, NULL if its not. A second filter can check the temp field and if it is not NULL then the value exists and pop up a message to your user.

2. Depends on the type of database. I know with Oracle you can create a SEQUENCE which will give you a new unique value.

Sara,

 

To enforce unique values in a field I would suggest a unique index. As to a 'Request ID' type field you may need some sort of a stored procedure for that.

** I am a new remedy developer and I need help on two of the following things,
  
  1.  I want a field to have unique value.  How can I restrict the
field from having duplicate values?  In other words, Is there any way I can block if the current value entered is already in the database?
   
  2.  I want to create an auto generated field.  Anytime a ticket is
submitted, the field should be populated automaticlly in increments.  In
other word, I want a 'Request ID' kind of field on the form.
  
  Anybody can help me with this please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]. 
I will appreciate it.
  Thanks!
