Displaying forms

[newuser]

How do you display the autonumber field in a new record in a form as aposed
to it displaying (new) and saving the autonumber in the datasheet without
having to click previous record then next record? Thanks

If you are displaying an Autonumber field, you have already made a mistake.
Autonumber fields should be used ONLY for primary keys of tables. They
should have no meaning to your data or application. A user should never see
an autonumber and they cannot be editied.

Klatuu is right on the money! As John Vinson is wont to say, "Autonumbers are
not fit for human consumption!"
