Not to sure if I am doing the table structure correctly as you may come up with an alternative.

I have an [Pre-Order] table, which is linked to an [Order Details], table. A product grp is assigned to each Pre-Order. One Order can have many colours. So what I need is to be able to have an Auto Number generated sequentially depending on what the product grp is.

So for example, I order some shirts, in three colours.

Shirt Product Grp is P

The start of the barcode is 175

Style number is the next section of the barcode which needs to be sequential generated.

so
175 0001
175 0002
etc


Yes this is easy with an AutoNumber, my problem is that my next order could be ties.

Product grp J

The start of the barcode is 145, i need the autonumber to start from 0001
not start from where the previous order ( in this example Shirt above )

so

145 0001
145 0002

do i have to have a separate table for each product grp, ( there are 26 Product grps )

please help, a bit stuck
