Notes

Purpose of Mod

When you add a new person, family, source, or repository, the first unused ID will be used instead of the MAX+1 number.

Resequenced IDs will be ignored (they start with a leading '0')

The Repositories name starts with 'REPO'. If you like to change this to R you could do this in the prefixes.php.

Concerns and Caveat

This is a brute force approach. It runs through the whole table in question searching for the lowest unused ID#. This could have performance and server issues for large databases. Many VLB (Very Large Database) TNG users employ this mod with acceptable results. The potential user may want to visit sites using this mod below.
