 That would seem to depend on what get_next_project_number() does, the
 contents of which are unknown.   get_next_project_number() gets the next 
project-number based on some custom logic.   What would be the best way to 
update all project's project-number having the oldes project get the first 
number returned by get_next_project_number() etc.?   Thanks.   --
