Auto increment code in an Access Query field

Asked by openaccount in Microsoft Access Database, SQL Query Syntax

Tags: access, query, increment, field

Hi,

I have this question regarding autoincrement. I know Access already has an autoincrement option for a number field but the problem is that if I delete a record then when you add another record it will just continue the number after the deleted record.

e.g.

if we add a record and the number is 1 but we decided that record then place another one we want it to still be 1 and not 2. What we want is to convert a normal field to an autonumber field. this is the formula

<previous record> + 1

e.g.

1
next record will be <previous record> + 1 so 1+1 = 2
next record will be <previous record> + 1 so 2+1 = 3
next record will be <previous record> + 1 so 3+1 = 4
etc...

Hope this makes
