I am still missing something. I have placed the followng function in the "on current" event of the form and it is not assigning a number.
=Nz(DMax("ECRnum","ECRNumIndex"),0)+1
The filed name is ECRnum and the table name is ECRNumIndex"
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Randy
This looks like it may work. I am new to this and am also looking at where I enter the function. Is it in the form for the associated field? Is it in a query?
Also does the field and table have to be in brackets[]?
Auto number will not work for what I want to do. I am creating a simple database that will assign the user with the next incremental number in a field. The intent of the database is for the user to enter three text fields and then obtain the number. I believe that Dmax would work but do not know...
