how to auto populate field 2 from key field

[Dave Heuft]

I need a continuity field...transaction number..that can be both a parent and child key. Would like to create this upon accessing a new record / row.

Don't laugh, I'm a beginner with Access.

Thank you, Pat. No lesson nor reference even hinted at this. I'll give it a whirl tonight.
