TRYING TO CREATE AUTONUMBER FIELD
I imported a large Approach DBF file into Access 2007. I set up my data entry form for the new table. On my old Approach form we had a field "Sample Number". When you started the database, the input form came up.When you click on the sample number field, a new sample number appeared which was the previous record sample number +1. Seems simple enough. No validation was required and Approach listed the field as a field box, numeric, auto number-serial. Ok when I bound this field to the new table field in Access, I set it up as a numeric field box. I tried to set it for auto number but since there were previous entries, Access wouldn't allow it. Anyway, I tried finding a way to increase the last record sample number by 1. I've set up the expression for the control source field many different ways but nothing works. Can anyone tell me how to take the [sample_no_] bound field and set it to increment by one when someone clicks to input a new record? Is this possible?

>>I tried to set it for auto number but since there were previous entries, Access wouldn't allow it. You can copy your table structure to a new table and set the field as Autonumber. Do a Compact and Repair. Then append to the new table. You can append numbers to the autonumber field if that number has not been inputted earlier. -- KARL DEWEY Build a little - Test a little "Selee" wrote: > I imported a large Approach DBF file into Access 2007.

I did what you suggested. It worked fine except for the fact that I wanted to keep the existing numbers from my old DBF which start at 8090 and Access assigned numbers starting at 1. We wondered whether we could add another field and put a default value of 8089 in it and then write a formula to put in the autonumber field adding the two together. Can this be done in an autonumber field? Seems a lot more complicated than it needs to be.

You should have been able to append your old numbers into the autonumber field. Did they not append in? All new records after that should increment from your highest number. -- KARL DEWEY Build a little - Test a little "Selee" wrote: > I did what you suggested.

No, Access renumbered them all starting with 1. The other idea didn't work either. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

How do I apply a template I created to an existing publication?
I want to change a publication I created to a design that I created and saved in a publisher format. I do not want to have to recreate the publication in the new format, just change it! "Publication Options" "Apply Template" brings up a list of templates that does not include the one I created and want to use. Help! Did you save the publication as a template?

Does anyone create sites without using tables for layout?
I know that a trend is to create websites that are pure css, and don't rely on tables for layout. Are asp.net devs taking that approach also? I checked a couple of major asp.net websites like newegg.com and they do seem to use tables for layout. Any info out there focused on table-less asp.net dev? Most of us try but I think our dirty little secret is most also cop out and start using tables here and there when their pages become increasingly complex. You'll note most of the "pure" CSS sites are often little more than what we call StackPanels in XAML using CS...
Create an identical Chart Worksheet in Excel 2003
Hi: I used the F11 key to create a chart, which inserts just a chart as a new worksheet and gives it a default name, such as chart 2. My question is, can I create an identical chart as a new worksheet. This wouldn't be a copy, rather, a duplicate that is pulling information from the same location in the entire workbook. The reason I want to do this is because I currently have data for 12 different series, and each series has 7 values. What I would like to do is keep the same chart, but reduce the number of values per series from 7 to just 4. The easiest way seems to me to be to create ...

Help with Ask fields in Word 2007
I have a word template that I have created. I am going to be distributing this document internationally and don't want to have to manage change controls on multiple documents. Since we decided against using an Infopath form via forms services I had to scale back on the functionality in a few areas such as repeating rows and fields. That being said, I can't figure out how to accomplish something that should be rather simple. I need to ask the user to enter their region when the form template is first opened, display it in the footer. I can't figure out how to on...
