do you have a sofware that has an automatic counter so that the numbers
wouldn't have to be typed in manually?

Yes. It's called an Autonumber and it's a standard feature in all
Access databases.

It is somewhat limited - autonumbers will always have gaps (it's not a
"record counter", it's an automatic unique identifier), and it can
become random. If you use http://groups.google.com to search this and
the other Access newsgroups for "Custom Counter" you'll find many
examples of VBA code you can add to a database to provide your own
sequential number.
