Access auto numbers
ksgolfer
with handling auto numbers. In my 2000 data base I had a Serial Number field
that I had populated by auto number seeded from a table with a number
starting at 1000. I'm having a problem reconstructing a similar database
using auto number in that field. I can change the format to get the 4 digit
number, but when I run a query to find a certain serial number, I can't find
it unless I enter just the last 3 digits. How can I create a serial number
field starting at 1000 in stead of 1?
I am not up on Visual Basic coding. It would to build the serial number
using the format of the last 2 digits of the year and a 4 digit number, like
09-1001. Can anyone make this simple?

see if this sample database from Rogers access library will help you.
The sample is about creating your own autonumbers.

The Access Autonumber is intended to be used as a unique identifier. It is
generally unfit for human consumption, and at some point, almost guaranteed
NOT to remain sequential.
Good luck!
