Format, autonumbering

[Ronald]

If I wanted the computer to autonumber in a specific
format, how would I go about that.

For ex:

instead of 1 to 10000, I am thinking of autonumbering in a
00-000 style format... any advice would be appreciated

You cannot use an AutoNumber field if you want a primary key formatted as in
your example. You would need to create a text field and write the code
required to establish and write the appropriate values.
