Custom AutoNumber

R

ryanb

Hi all,

I'm new here, so here goes my first question.

I'm making a table for tracking a type of form that I use.

The forms are numbered for tracking and I want to apply that number t
the table, the field is set to 'Autonumber' & is also the primary key
what I want to to is for the autonumber to be formated like so 'F0001
being the first and then counting on from there.

Can anyone let me know how to do this?

Cheers,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

If you set the Format property to
\f&&

You will get results of
f1
f2
f3
..and so on

If you are needing to Pad zeros then you may want to take a look at

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
