Global variable does not seem to be global.

Thanks. I need to increment the value of recNo and use it in that function to get the record. That is why I tried incrementing recNo within that function. I tried passing recNo as a parameter and then using local variable x=recNo, incrementing x and then recNo=x but have this error:

TypeError: fetchRecord() missing 1 required positional argument: 'recNo'

ef fetchRecord(recNo):
    recBox.delete(0,END)
    eName.delete(0,END)      #entry boxes
    eMeaning.delete(0,END)
    ePronounce.delete(0,END)
    ePeriod.delete(0,END)
    eGroup.delete(0,END)
    eSize.delete(0,END)
    eLived.delete(0,END)
    eDiet.delete(0,END)
    eFossils.delete(0,END)
    factFile.delete(1.0,END)    #Textbox
    
    x=recNo
    x += 1
    recNo = x
    
    conn=sqlite3.connect('dinobase.db')
    c=conn.cursor()
    c.execute('SELECT * FROM dino WHERE record = recNo')
    rows=c.fetchall()
    
    for row in rows:
        recBox.insert(0,row[0])
        eName.insert(0,row[1])
        eMeaning.insert(0,row[2])
        ePronounce.insert(0,row[3])
        ePeriod.insert(0,row[4])
        eGroup.insert(0,row[5])
        eSize.insert(0,row[6])
        eLived.insert(0,row[7])
        eDiet.insert(0,row[8])
        eFossils.insert(0,row[9])
        factFile.insert(1.0,row[10])
    
    c.close()
    conn.close()

Not the best way I guess.
