Repost-multiple id numbers

[Guest]

Hello,

I have two tables/forms, Projects and Entitlements, that are linked by id.
The Entitlements table consists of a entitlement type field and an
entitlement id# field. The thing is the entitlment id# increments based on
the entitlement type. I need to find a way to have it automatically insert
the next entitlment id# based on the selected entitlement type.
Example:
Project 1 has entitlement CUP 800 and PDP 1700.
So, when I input Project 2 and I select CUP for the entitlment type, I
would like it to automatically insert 801 in the entitlment id# (and not
1701, etc, etc.)

I appreciate the assistance.
Please let me know if you need more detail.
Thank you.

Hsdaguilar,

On the Before Insert or Before Update event of the entitlement subform,
try code something like this...
Me.entitlement_id = DMax("[entitlement
id]","Entitlements","[entitlement type]='" & Me.entitlement_type & "'")+1

By the way, as asn aside, it is not a good idea to use a # as part of
the name of a field or control.
