I am using Access 2003 and I would like to know how can I have running
sequent when I have running numbers with alphabets behind??
Below is what I have done currently,
“Data Type†is set as Numbers
“Field Size†is Long Integer
“Format†is “Aâ€-000
“Decimal Places†is 0
“Iput Mask†is 9999
With this setting, I can sort all my data in running sequent and without
keying the default value "A". Meaning the data field it would appear as,
A-001, A-002, A-003...........
Now, if I am going to add alphabet behind the running numbers. This setting
would not work. Due to the alphabet would be changing from A to Z.
Example: 001, 001A, 002, 003, 004, 004A, 004B, 004C……..
If I change the “Data Type†to “Textâ€, there is no way I can sort the
running numbers in sequent. Due to the sorting method is different in numbers
and text.
Problem I foresee is how can I set the “Data Type†to sort both contain
running numbers and running numbers with alphabets??
Can anyone help me on this??
