  Hi Dirk:
  Project.EnvironmentVariables is read only. Check help. You should save your data somewhere else , maybe a file.
  Try this :
  dim fso, fileName, txtFile, SeqNumber
  
  set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  if Not IsObject(fso) then
  Processing.ReportError "Error Creating FSO"
  End if
  'Choose you path
  fileName = "c:\temp"& Year(Date) & "-" & Right("0" & Month(Date), 2) & "-" & Right("0" & Day(Date), 2) & ".Txt"
  If fso.FileExists(fileName) then
  set txtFile = fspenTextFile(fileName,1)
  SeqNumber = Cint(txtFile.ReadAll)
  txtFile.Close
  else
  SeqNumber = 1
  End if
  Me.Name = Year(Date) & "-" & Right("0" & Month(Date), 2) & "-" & Right("0" & Day(Date), 2) & "-" & Right("00000" & SeqNumber,6)
  set txtFile = fspenTextFile( fileName, 2,true )
  txtFile.Write SeqNumber + 1
  txtFile.Close
  Set fso = Nothing

  Atorino,
  
  Thank you for the information. I had referenced the help, however it was not clear to me. It said to use the IProperties.

  1. Environment variables of any type can be used in scripts. Use the EnviromentVariables property of IProperties, which is available in the IProject interface.

  When I looked at IProperties:

  IProperties

  What it does

  A collection of IProperty objects.

  
  

  Methods

  Definition

  
  

  Description

  
  

  Delete (name : string)	Deletes the property with the specified name.
  Get (name : string) : string	Retrieves the property value by the name.
  Has (name : string) : bool	Checks whether the set contains the property with the specified name.
  Set (name : string, value : string)	Sets the value of a named property. Creates a property, if it does not exist. Note: For information on how to change document state, refer to the ITaskWindow interface.

  
  
  It listed the above methods. Based on this I was attempting to used the Set method to set this value.
  
  Even the context sensitive help in vb shows a set command under Project.EnviromentVariables.
  
  
  
  
  
  After reading your post I also looked at IProject which did have the following

  
  

  Properties

  Name

  
  

  Type

  
  

  Access

  
  

  Description

  
  

  EnvironmentVariables	IProperties	Read only	Returns an array of the environment variables used in the project.

  
  
  I am just confused why the Set and Delete methods are listed in the context sensitive help for a read only field.
  
  Anyway, now that I know I will store this info in a Database or text file as you suggested.
  
  Thanks again for you help.
  
  Dirk

  Hello Dirk,
  Glad to help. You can GET information from environment variables, but seems that setting is not possible.
  I'm attaching help file information , the one i have, about the Project.EnvironmentVariables . I'm currently using Flexicapture 11.4 (StandAlone & Distributed).
  
  Kind regards,
