Alison has attended:
Access Introduction course

AutoNumber

How can I get autonumbers to be more than one digit long at the start eg 00001 not just 1?

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

RE: AutoNumber

Hi Alison, thanks for your query. Select the autonumber field in design view and go down to the "Field Properties" panel. In the General tab click into Format and simply put "00000". Save the table and switch back to Datasheet view. Your first autonumber should now read "00001" and so on.

Hope this helps,

Anthony
