Question Auto generate unique customer ID's

Hi JJarman,

txt.Author -> txt dot Author? Are you sure??????

Bet you a buck it should be txtAuthor...

JLCantara.

Pretty sure you can mail me a buck
Neither way works, and neither way creates an error... basically just ignoring that piece of it

Break it down into smaller parts. Once a little is working add another bit. You should be able to work it out that way.

If "txt.Author" does not throw an error then I would bet the code is not running.

Otherwise you have somehow managed to add an Author property to a control called "txt".

Feel pretty dumb about this now.... I was trying to add the text in the line of code that is incrementing the numbers, instead of the code that is assigning the value to the field.
Better to walk away sometimes instead banging my head against a desk

Glad to see you got it sorted.
