Yesterday I posted a question, and you kindly responded via your automatic
response asking me to rate the answer, and to click on another link to
continue the threads. Unfortunately when I have clicked on both of these
links, the top part of the browser window is complete eg with address, FILE
EDIT etc, but the work surface is blank in both cases. Am I doing something
wrong ? Is there a problem at your end ? My e-mail address is
(e-mail address removed), and my Display name is snimmuc. Further, when I have
tried to find my question on the pages which lists previous questions and
answers, I cannot fin it. Same questions, my fault, or your problem ? I am
new to all of this, so would appreciate your assistance. Thank You.

snimmuc,
This newsgroup deals with Microsoft Access, a relational database
application.
Your post has no information in it as to what your problem might be,
and with what application you're having that problem.

Yesterday I posted a question, and you kindly responded via your automatic
response asking me to rate the answer,...

There are no "automatic responses" or "rate the answer" requests in this
newgroup.

First, posting in 2 different places isn't always wise because the question
can be ignored more easily. I think that you have a browser problem if you
cannot see the answers. Perhaps it might be easier, and certainly it will be
much faster, and more accurate, to use a newsreader. Depending upon which
version of Windows and IE that you have, there is 1 built in with the name
of either Outlook Express, or Windows Mail. Set up a news account for this
server:

news.microsoft.com

and subscribe to this newsgroup:

microsoft.public.access.gettingstarted

and download the messages. In case you missed my answer to your question in
the other thread, it is:

There are so many different ways to do this. Keep in mind, however, that if
a record in the sequence is deleted, a hole will remain that must be ignored
or manually filled,

Probably the easiest way is to look and see what the last number is and add
1 to it. Use this to create a default value for that record, so it won't be
used unless you start typing the record:

Private Sub Form_Current()
On Error Resume Next
Dim x As Integer
x = DMax("ProviderNumber", "tblProviders", "ID =" & Me.txtID)

If IsNull(x) Then
Me!txtProviderNumber.DefaultValue = 1
Else
Me!txtProviderNumber.DefaultValue = x + 1
End If

End Sub

You need to get rid of the web interface and use a news reader.
set the news server to msnews.microsoft.com. You will thin be able to
read all of the posts and responses.
Below is a link to an article by Micheal Stevens on how to set up
Outlook Express. Hope it helps.
