According to the Manual Tango needs to know this Record ID to find out what record it just saved so it can then get my serial number from the newly created record to display in the responce. My problems is how I find out the Record ID and use it to display the new serial number. Someone mentioned using a global field but globals work in a funny way which means they are lost when a client logs out of the server, so won't work for what I want to do.
