Actually my autonumber starts at 1000. You are right. How do I automatically assign random numbers for a 4 or 5 digit number? How do I determine if I have used that number before in the table?00000-V/C 0000- AT-YR
If it is an autonumber you don't. That is the point of it being automatic...you don't have to do anything.
