Concatinate Random Number with Other Data

[crhodus]

Is is possible to concatenate date with other data in a query?

For an example would something like this work?
INSERT INTO tblCompany (CompNum & rnd(), field1, field2, ....)

I finally got my query to work, but I have one other obstical to get around. The rnd() does not generate a unique random number for each record. The random number ends up being the same for each record that it is joined to. Does anyone know of another way that I can create a unique ID for my records when I run my query?


Here is the query that I created:

INSERT INTO Calls (ContactID, CallID, Notes)
SELECT [Forms]![frmTransNotesHist].[ContactID], A.CallID & RND(), A.Notes
FROM Calls AS A
WHERE A.ContactID=[Forms]![frmTransNotesHist].[OldNum];

 

[Val]

Add a AutoNumber field to the table and then use Rnd([AutoNumber_field]+1), this has worked for me.

HTH
Val
