Hi:
I am combining two tables in a query, extracting some fields, and attempting to create a
new table. This process is way down the line form the original tables, and some of the
fields were auto number fields originally (yes I am using those for some system level
identification of records). I have no intention of giving the new table any auto number
fields of its own, but I am getting an objection from that system that "Resultant tables
not allowed to have more than one auto number field"
Can someone tell me how to get round this boulder in the path of progress?
Thanks

I t tested this, it should work for you also.
The datatype of the original source is being passed into the new table
being built. So, if you convert the datatype to Long (which is the
integer data type equiv. of the Auto Num field), it will cast the new
table's field as long, and avoid your problem.
In my test, using a table with an AutoNum field called AssignmentID, I
used this generated field in the query:
ID: CLng([AssignmentID])
In SQL, it's SELECT CLng([AssignmentID]) AS ID, (etc.) FROM ...
Good Luck,

I've inherited a system that was designed by someone with no

Hello Everyone,
I have been searching for ways to prevent the autonumber field from increasing when a user decides he/she does not wish to enter a record.
I searched Bytes and I think I saw something that alluded to setting up two distinct tables (let's call them Table B and Table C). Table B is the one with one field and the field name is the same as the Autonumber field of the host table in question (let's call it Table A). Then Table...

Hello !
I have more related tables:
T_1, T_2 .... T_k, T_k+1 .... T_n
Every table has a primary key defined as AutoNumber.
For k = 2 to n every table has a field defined as LookUp on T_k-1 primary key.
In the test phase I make new records and I remove records so, the primary key (AutoNumber) loose the natural order: (i.e. start at 287 and the next number is 301).
Question:
Is there an easy way (from VBA) to restore the AutoNumber field...

Hello folks,
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.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
