Creating a new ID in VBA

Asked by AIdoHSG in Access Forms, Databases Miscellaneous, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: Microsoft, MS Access, 2007

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new ID for any additional records we add into our database. I started out by creating an entry form that (all unbound text boxes) with 2 buttons one which I will append the fields to the table and one to fetch the current max id +1 for this record. the ID button is not working and I've tried different variations. We have 2 tables one which permanent and is a SQL table (linked to MS SQL) and the other a temprary table, both of which have IDs. I'm trying to pull that max number ID and 1 to it and assign it to a variable where I can send the value to a text box on the form. below is my code, what am I doing wrong?Start Free Trial
