1 - An auto number field should only be used as a linking field. It should
not contain any secondary meaning, so setting it to any predetermined value
is unnecessary.

That said, even thought the article at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;209696 is for Access
2000, the information also workings in Access 2002 and 2003.

2 - If you are looking for a something to start with for you app, try
searching the template gallery at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/default.aspx.

If you don't find anything there, try searching the internet with Google.

Good luck.
