I have a database that tracks donors to our non-profit performing arts
center. Each of the different types of donation is in a seperate table but
joined based on a unique Donor ID number. When I first set up the database,
the table was already in Excel and imported it into Access. The Excel table
had the Donor ID number already assigned as text. Now that I have the
database up and running, I would like to change the properties of the Donor
ID field to auto number so that I do not have to look up the last Donor ID
number used when I add a new donor. Is there a way to do this without losing
or scrambling and data? Or is there way to automatically display the last
number used? Or can anyone think of a solution other than the ones already
mentioned?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
