Hi,
I have a db that I use to make inventory tags for selling items in my antique booth. I've used it for years but have had to manually key every item number into the db. I'd like it to sequentially autonumber my inventory. Right now I'm using a field I've named "InventoryNumber". I have nearly 2000 rows in my main table and a few dozen in another table. It's not a lot of data. Is there a way that I can either change the InventoryNumber field from ShortText to autonumber and have the existing numbers stay the same? Or should I add a field to the db that is the autonumber?
The above table is using straight numeric digits for the inventory number. But in my jewelry table I'm using J-1140 as the inventory number. I would like to do the same in this table with the autonumbering...
Thank you for your help!
