It's all in one table. When I open the form for input, the Case Number
automatically updates itself to the new one using:
DMax("[SENE_CASE_#]","tblSENESarLog")+1 in my default value, that works great.
All I really want is on another form that I have (kind of a Status Board if
you will) I have a box that says Coast Guard Sector SENE Next Case number
is: and then I want that number displayed in a text box.

Even if the case number is not an auto number and as long as it it unique you
can still set it has primary and link to other tables. In the other tables
you will need to create a feild with the case number so you create a
relationship.
As far as I can see is that you need someway to link the case number to
other related records in order to do any programming or else how would the
program be able to idetify which sequential record belongs to what case?

K, the case number is the seq number. It is not an autonumber but instead one
I created. It is a text box in my table.
Thanks.
:
Is the case number Linked (Relationship) between the sequential numbers that
apply? If so, you could just create a query that shows all the sequntial
records that pertain to each case number, then merge the query into a form
designed has a datasheet and insert into the form to be displayed
:
Sorry. It is a text box that is linked to a record in my table. It is a Case
number, that each record I create has it's own seq number.
Thanks!
:
What do you mean by "something" Is "My next number" a value or record?

Thanks Marshall, but I had an error with: Me.txtNext_ucn.Recalc when I
debugged.
I should also mention that my prev problem gave me a #error. Also, and I
don't think this matters btu the form I wanted to display this on, is not the
form where it is primarily used. That shouldn't matter as long as that same
table is my record source right?
Thanks again.
