Creating Order Number

[Simon]

I currently am builing a access ordering system. I was going to use
autonumber as the order number but have heard that it is not recomended
to do this.
I have read that i need some code that will add +1 to the previou order
number.


Could any one tell me how to code this and the best way to do it so
that i do not duplicate any order numbers

Thanks

Simon

On my website (www.rogersaccesslibrary.com), is a small Access database
sample called "AutonumberProblem.mdb" which illustrates how to do this.
