I have created a SQL string the properly inserts a record in the table.
However, the insert does not occur at the end of the table. Instead
it inserts a record after the last record that I viewed. This would be
OK, except it assigns a autonumber to be one greater than the last
viewed record. This causes a duplicate autonumber. I know I can
change the autonumber index (Primary Key) to not allow duplicates.
How can I force the insert to use the highest autonumber + 1? I would
think that this should be handled automatically.

Without seeing your code/script or knowing the sequence of events it's hard
to know what the issue is.
You talk about autonumber... is it actually an autonumber field or are you
manually creating your own? There is no way an real autonumber type field
will create a duplicate.
Either make is a real autonumner field, or insert Max([MyField]) + 1 as the
new value.

This is the true autonumber field created by access. I have not changed
it.
Does the "Insert Into" Command append the record at the bottom of the
file, or does it insert anywhere in the file?

Tried the help file?
"If you append records to a table with an AutoNumber field and you want to
renumber the appended records, do not include the AutoNumber field in your
query. Do include the AutoNumber field in the query if you want to retain
the original values from the field."

I started with the help file. I understand the help data. However,
the issue still exists.
the sql is "Insert into table ( name, address, city ) values ( "XXX",
"YYY", "ZZZ" ).
This command does not use the AUTONUMBER field, called (RcdNumber). It
does not append with a new higher autonumber value. It does replicate
and existing number.
There's something wrong with your db try compact and repair and see if that
fixes it.

And put that primary key back! Your "business rule" obviously is that
you don't want duplicates. So let the db engine enforce that rule. If
you ever get a "unique index violation" error, 99.9999% chance it's
your programming error, and an opportunity to improve your code.

Thanks for all the input. The key as marked as no duplicate. However,
I deleted the key and the field. COmpressed and reapired, rebuilt the
field and index, did another compress and rebuilt. It all works
correctly . It was apparently a database corruption error.

Hi,
I have a table which the first field is an autonumber field as is also my
keyfield. Now I want to know if it is possible that after I do an insert
stament I can get what the value of this autonumber field. My problem is
that I cannot do a "select (max(field_name))" cause I have multiple users
using the same table and I can have an other insert from another user while
I'm getting the max field value.

Hi,
Is there an "easy" way to write a full record (all fields) using "INSERT
INTO..." into a table which has an AutoNumber field?
Normally, to write a full new record I would use:
INSERT INTO VALUES (Value1, Value2, ...);
If (say) the first field (Value1) is an AutoNumber, what value can you put
that will preserve the auto-increment function?

I need to trap an insert on an MS access table that uses a generated
typed table and row setup. I have to trap the insert and then hook up
and get the autonumber value for the insert. I have googled this and
cannot find a typed solution to the problem. I either abandon type
safety or solve this problem.
I have to work around 'Refresh the data table' that is greyed out.
