Hi all,
 
I am wondering if anyone knows how to create an "AutoValue" in Ms Access. To take as an example, when a ne record is added, a particular field is incremented from R001 to R002. I am aware of auto number but this doesnt allow for characters, only numbers.
 
Anyone know how to do the above?

the only real easy way i can think is opening a query to get the last records ID value then use a temp value of the veriable,

say trim the left side off... CLNG the rest and then +1 and recreate the veriable. and add it into the record as the Primary key with required.

Just an idea. there might be an easier better way.

I have come up with another way that would solve my problem, help is needed though!
 
I was wondering how i could do the following in MS Access. I want a field called ref to automatically contain the same value as the primary key which is called Pid when a record is entered. Is this possible and if so, how?
 
Thanks.
