How do you display the autonumber field in a new record in a form as aposed
to it displaying (new) and saving the autonumber in the datasheet without having to click previous record then next record? Thanks

If you are displaying an Autonumber field, you have already made a mistake.
Autonumber fields should be used ONLY for primary keys of tables. They should have no meaning to your data or application. A user should never see an autonumber and they cannot be editied. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "newuser" wrote: How do you display the autonumber field in a new record in a form as aposed to it displaying (new) and saving the autonumber in the datasheet without having to click previous record then next record?

Klatuu is right on the money! As John Vinson is wont to say, "Autonumbers are
not fit for human consumption!" -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat! Answers/posts based on Access 2000/2003 Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...forms/200801/1
