Hey guys was wondering if anyone could help out... so I manually created a form, and went back and made the value of the "autonumber" field as 899, so that when I create a new form as long as the prefix field starts with a F and the suffix doesn't contain the words "T&M" if should pull the highest number for the autofield value in this case 899 then +1 but the number it ends up giving me is the prefix and suffix with no number....
