I have an Access 2000/XP with an unusual autonumber scheme; I can't figure
out how it generates its very unique value.
I have the database temporarily located at this website: http://www.dbases.net/tmp/Tuscon2k.zip
The field is called ****Company_Id* *** in the table "Companies. " There are
LOTS of other tables linked to it but I deleted all of them because I was
able to decipher that they aren't responsible for helping to delete this
field's value, and it helps reduce the file's size.
I typically use an autonumber field simply for 1,2,3,4 etc--but this one
develops a VERY unusual value even including the { in the field, not just
numbers.
Tips?

Larry, the autonumber field is set to Field Size Replication ID. What
this means is that for every record created, the machine creates a
GUID for each record.

The AutoNumber field's "Field Size" property has been set to
Replication ID.
I remember seeing that, but didn't think it would have an effect since it
was in the "Field Size" property. How in the world would something in the
"Field Size" property affect the type of autonumber generated? Oh well.
Now that that's settled, what reasons would one have for using such a type
of autonumber field rather than simply 1,2,3,4?

Replication IDs are intended to be unique in the world, so that, when you
copy a record from one database into another, you know it won't duplicate
any records already there. If you try to do that with 2 databases that
both start counting from 1 - I think you see the problem. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Sometimes I use Autonumber fields for ID fields. Furthermore,
sometimes I use those same fields in orderdetail type tables. So it's
important in that case that once an autonumber key value is assigned to
a record that it doesn't change. Occasionally I find that due to
corruption or an accidental deletion and restore of a record from a
backup the autonumber field needs to be tidied up. So when I create
(through AddNew) the autonumber...

Any advice on using autonumber fields in forms?
I can't get a control bound to an autonumber field ("") to start at
the next record when I create a new record.
Here's what happens:
1. Open the form
2. Click the Triangle+Asterisk at the record selectors area
3. A blank record pops up, the ID is listed as
4. Click in another control and enter some text
5. The ID changes to 7. But there are 149 records in my database.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming this means that I cannot now

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
