Creating Field With combo of autonumber and text
Hello,
I'm looking to create a field that has both an autonumber component and a static text portion. So, instead of having as an ID# the simple autonumber function of 1,2,3 etc., I want to have it generated to be something like: CCA0001, CCA0002...CCA0135 etc. Any ideas? Thanks!

If the prefix is ALWAYS the same then use the autonumber like this --
MyID: "CCA" & Right("000" & [AutonumberField], 4) Bear in mind that an autonumber field may skip a number or more in sequence. -- Build a little, test a little.

Thank you! But where do I put that formula in? And what does the "4" represent?

Creating Field With combo of autonumber and text
where do I put that formula
In the queries that feed your forms or reports. what does the "4" represent Numbers do not have leading zeros. This adds zeros but because the number of digits is unknown the process takes the right 4 characters after putting zeros in front of the number. -- Build a little, test a little.
