That was an honest and abrupt answer. However, on contemplating further, can
the receipt number be incremented automatically through the use of a
DOCVARIABLE, and incorporated into the ASK field coding? If so, a little
detail would be helpful. I use an autonew macro when I open the template that
generates the document.

I have created an ASK field in a document which prompts for a receipt number,
which has the year in 2 digit format followed by a dash, and then I manually
enter the remaining digits of the receipt number. eg: 09-124

It appears like this:

{ASK ReceiptNo "Enter the receipt number" \d {DATE \@ "yy'-'"}}

When the prompt appears, the default value is highlighted. Is it possible to
change the default coding so that the default value isn't highlighted, and
the cursor is situated after the dash?

TIA
David
