the table is passed several times to get the size maxima, etc.
your number is also incremented in every pass (how many passes?). ;)

use something like this to take care of trial typesetting:


\definenumber[MyNum]

\def\IncrTABLEnum[#1]%
   {\iftrialtypesetting
       \hbox{00}% allocate some space in the first pass
     \else
       \getnumber[#1]\incrementnumber[#1]%
     \fi}

\starttext

\resetnumber[MyNum]      % reset point #1
\bTABLE
%  \bTR\bTD \resetnumber[MyNum] \eTD\eTR      % reset point #2
   \bTR\bTD \IncrTABLEnum[MyNum] \eTD\eTR
   \bTR\bTD \IncrTABLEnum[MyNum] \eTD\eTR
   \bTR\bTD \IncrTABLEnum[MyNum] \eTD\eTR
   \bTR\bTD \IncrTABLEnum[MyNum] \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE

\stoptext


best, peter
