sequential numbers for documents
Yesterday I posted a question, and you kindly responded via your automatic
response asking me to rate the answer, and to click on another link to continue the threads. Unfortunately when I have clicked on both of these links, the top part of the browser window is complete eg with address, FILE EDIT etc, but the work surface is blank in both cases. Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a problem at your end ? My e-mail address is , and my Display name is snimmuc. Further, when I have tried to find my question on the pages which lists previous questions and answers, I cannot fin it. Same questions, my fault, or your problem ? I am new to all of this, so would appreciate your assistance. Thank You. |

snimmuc,
This newsgroup deals with Microsoft Access, a relational database application. Your post has no information in it as to what your problem might be, and with what application you're having that problem. Yesterday I posted a question, and you kindly responded via your automatic response asking me to rate the answer,... There are no "automatic responses" or "rate the answer" requests in this newgroup. -- hth Al Campagna Microsoft Access MVP http://home.comcast.net/~cccsolutions/index.html "Find a job that you love... and you'll never work a day in your life."

I am new to all of this, so would appreciate your assistance. Thank You. First, posting in 2 different places isn't always wise because the question can be ignored more easily. I think that you have a browser problem if you cannot see the answers. Perhaps it might be easier, and certainly it will be much faster, and more accurate, to use a newsreader. Depending upon which version of Windows and IE that you have, there is 1 built in with the name of either Outlook Express, or Windows Mail. Set up a news account for this server: news.microsoft.com and subscribe to this newsgroup: microsoft.public.access.gettingstarted and download the messages. In case you missed my answer to your question in the other thread, it is: There are so many different ways to do this. Keep in mind, however, that if a record in the sequence is deleted, a hole will remain that must be ignored or manually filled, Probably the easiest way is to look and see what the last number is and add 1 to it. Use this to create a default value for that record, so it won't be used unless you start typing the record: Private Sub Form_Current() On Error Resume Next Dim x As Integer x = DMax("ProviderNumber", "tblProviders", "ID =" & Me.txtID) If IsNull(x) Then Me!txtProviderNumber.DefaultValue = 1 Else Me!txtProviderNumber.DefaultValue = x + 1 End If End Sub -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com |

You will thin be able to read all of the posts and responses. Below is a link to an article by Micheal Stevens on how to set up Outlook Express. Hope it helps. http://michaelstevenstech.com/outloo...snewreader.htm gls858 |
