[Kostas Konstantinidis]

But what happens for a new film with none registered pictures yet?
So, I guess it must check if there is a picture on that ID_films and then to
calculate the next one till to the last

Thuinking about it, in the After-Update, you still have the value of

NextPictureName = Left$(PictureName,5) & _
 Format(Val(mid$(PictureName,6) +1),"00")
