Hi all,

I have a simple trigger which pulls data from the lead object and places it into a custom "Finance" object when the lead is created or updated.  For some reason, the Trigger.new[0].Id is returning NULL in the trigger which fires before insert.  

I'm going crazy because I can't see any reason why the Id would be NULL...  Here's my code:

trigger FinanceNew on Lead (before insert) {
	
	Map<String,User> userList = new Map<String,User>{};
	
	// Places each returned user into a map with their sfID as the key
	for(User tmp : [SELECT Id,Name,Email,Phone FROM User]){
	  userList.put(tmp.Id,tmp);
	}
	
	for(integer i = 0; i<Trigger.new.size(); i++){
	
		string leadName = null;
		
		if(Trigger.new[i].FirstName != ''){
			leadName = Trigger.new[i].FirstName + ' ' + Trigger.new[i].LastName;
		}else{
			leadName = Trigger.new[i].LastName;
		}
		
		User ownerInfo = userList.get(Trigger.new[i].OwnerId);
		
		ID leadId = Trigger.new[i].Id; // THIS IS RETURNING NULL!!
		
		Finance__c financeRecord = new Finance__c(
		
			Name = leadName,
			Lead__c = leadId,
			Lead_Email__c = Trigger.new[i].Email,
			Lead_Phone__c = Trigger.new[i].Phone,
			Lead_Owner_Name__c  = ownerInfo.Name,
			Lead_Owner_Email__c = ownerInfo.Email,
			Lead_Owner_Phone__c = ownerInfo.Phone
			
		);
	
		insert financeRecord;
	
	}

}

The Lead.Id assignment should be very straight forward.  Every other field pulling directly from the Trigger.new record inserts the correct information.

Thanks in advance for any help!
