I do not think you really mean "Autonumber"ed. This would be reasonably trivial - BUT the various line numbers on you forms/reports would NOT start w/ "1" and increment. To have the results be consistient, you would need to include the "line number" of each detail item at the time of entry. To have these always be the same and sequential, you also need to not allow deletions, so you also need some mechanisim to include items which were ordered and subsquently dropped from the order - but to indicate the item(s) were 'dropped' and to NOT charge for them.
