Append to Table with Auto Number

B

Bill

Hi All,

I need to paste or use an append query to append a number of rows to a table
that contains an autonumber field. Attempts so far have failed because the
autonumber will not accept a null value.

Any ideas please.

Ta.
Bill.

Sorry, I don't think it is the autonumber field that is the issue after all.
its another field that requires a value. Any idea how I populate that with a
default value?

Cheers.
Bill.

In your query, once you've identified which field contains the null(s), use
an IIF() statement to either "keep" the value in the field (if not null) or
use a default (you decide) if the underlying field does contain a null.
