setvalue for autonumber

[Guest]

I have created a form that uses a autonumber to keep records of my tasks.
Using the form, I wish to populate that autonumber into another table or
form. How do I do that?

Why, as in "why do you want to 'populate' that autonumber ..."?

Are you saying that you want to put the autonumber value as an "autonumber"
value in another table? (won't happen, you don't get to set autonumbers).

Are you saying that you want to create a child record, related to the parent
record with a specific autonumber? If so, use a main-form/subform design,
where the main form is the one with the autonumber, and the subform is based
on a table that has a field as a foreign key that holds the ID of its
"parent" record (i.e., the autonumber in table1).

Or am I missing your point entirely?
