    Incremental numbering from existing Number Sequence

    Paul, Despite your considerable efforts, I fear the end result is not achieved. The code has been modified as suggested and when run does not produce any error message, but on selecting to input a new record, the Member ID Field has not incremented as intended. I am at a loss as to how to...

    Incremental numbering from existing Number Sequence

    Pauk, Thank you for your continued assistance. The single line of code is; If Me.NewRecord Then Me.max[Member ID]TxtBox=Nz(DMax("[Member ID]", "[Mail List]"), 0) + 1 This preceded by the Private SubForm statement and followed by the endsub statement, both of which are automatically generated...

    Incremental numbering from existing Number Sequence

    Paul, I was confident that your 'new record' addition was going to do the trick. Sadly not so! I have corrected the ID to [Member ID] but I am now receiving a 'syntax' error. Having added an 'If' statement should I not need an 'endif' statement also. jcbhydro

    Incremental numbering from existing Number Sequence

    Thanks again Paul, However, there is still a problem. I followed your detailed procedured but I now get a compling error. With maxIDTxtBox highlighter the error is "Method or Data Member Not Found". I found that this is a specific error in Access 2010. Is the reference ID in the Code something...

    Incremental numbering from existing Number Sequence

    Paul, Thanks for the VBA alternative suggestion. Sadly, I have no experience of VBA and wouldn't know where to start. I tried to make a 'module' incorporating the code you suggested but I suspect that that is not what is required. It certainly didn't work. Your further assistance would be...

    Incremental numbering from existing Number Sequence

    Paul, Thank you for your rapid response to my problem. I have incorporated the modified code in the 'Default Value', but the result is still #Error. There must be something else preventing activation. Any other thoughts? jcbhydro

    Incremental numbering from existing Number Sequence

    Good Afternoon from West Sussex, UK, I have a Primary Key field named Member ID(Number format) in a Table named Mail List. The field is populated with existing ID numbers and my need is to use my Member Entry Form to increment by 1 from the last entry. I have gleaned from other references that...

    Drop Down List with free text option

    Response to Pat H. You are misunderstanding. Member ID is a foreign key in the relevant table and does contain valid data. As I have stated previously, I am using a drop down list sourced from Table 1 to select a Member Name. Occasionally, a non member joins a Group and it is their name which I...

    Drop Down List with free text option

    Nigel, Thank you for your considerable effort. I think that I twig how it works and will try to reproduce the technique in my daatabase. However, am I correct in assuming that it will be necessary to introduce a single record entitled 'other' into my Member name list? I also noticed that...

    Drop Down List with free text option

    Pat H. You have been incredibly patient with my inexperienced efforts to solve this problem. Could I try your patience further by asking for a methodology to set up your suggested unbound combo and bound text field as I don't have a clue as to how to go about it. On the subject of the Row...

    Counting Occurrences in a 2nd Table

    Thank you Cronk, The second query produces the analysis I was looking for. Returning to the first query, I attempted to import the occurrences for individuals back into the main Mail List Table, but it didn't work, probably because such a procedure is tanatamount to picking oneself up by ones...

    Counting Occurrences in a 2nd Table

    Thank you for the 'Totals' suggestion. I have created a query which does it perfectly. However, I did have a supplementary question as to interrogating the results to count the numbers of 7, 6, 5, etc in the results column. Can such a routine be incorporated into the same query? jcbhydro.

    Drop Down List with free text option

    Thanks again and I'm sorry to be a pain, but I have already mentioned that with Limit to List at No, I get the column width/Bound Width disparity error. The column width is currently 0cm,2.54cm,2.54cm (probably a 1" default value) but I don't know which other width to change. There is no Bound...

    Drop Down List with free text option

    Changing the 'Limit to List' property to 'No' produces the column width/bound column error. My values are Column Width 0cm. 2.54 cm, 2.54 cm & Bound Column 1. Which values should be adjusted? Regards, jcbhydro
