    This is for an access 2000 application that I am working to upgrade to V2016. Can you explain why it would be designed this way and yet not available in the database window? I've never seen this approach before.

    Create Unique ID from Name field

    You could add another column to your table for sequencing. Use a Dmax + 1 type statement to increment on new rows. Your decision to use only two characters at the end will limit your scope; are you certain this is all you will need?

    Site down - out of memory
