Newbies Mole Posted March 25, 2001 Newbies Share Posted March 25, 2001 I am modifying a database for a charity and need an auto-generated serial number for their fund-raising events that appears like this 2001/001, 2001/002....2002/001, 2002/002 etc. The first part of the number is generated from the date of the event but I am unsure how to do the changing number part. What I see as my difficulty is that some events are planned in the previous year. So event 2002/002 might be created before event 2001/010. How do I ensure that the second part of the serial number relates to the correct year? If I'm thinking wrongly please let me know. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signal Posted March 25, 2001 Share Posted March 25, 2001 There are a couple of solutions posted on databasepros.com. What I do is create a self-relationship based on the year (2001) and create a serial number (your 005) that is the [max+1] of all the serial numbers that match the relationship. You have to use a script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
