RE: Set value of one field depending on result of next record in q



Gunny

thanks for this. The autonumber issue should not be a problem. Although my
source data is in an SQL database and I'm linking to it, the data table does
not have autonumbers .... but elsewhere in the project I'm using a "create
table" query to deal with the issue that S Clark offered a solution with. I
can use the same technique to "create" a table with the records which need to
be queried and set an autonumber to that table.

Thanks again .... I've got a few days work ahead of me now to implement this
solution .... but I approach it with optimism because, yet again, of the
invaluable assistance offered by users of this forum

Regards
