I have a access database which is shared on about 14 computers. A field in
the table calculates a new number for each record (Last record number +1).
when two people are adding a new record at the same time it assignes the same
number to each record, that's a problem. How can I have my form save the
number created for that record as soon as it is assigned, and not only when
the form is closed? It works fine if the person opens the form; adds a new
record; then closes the form emediately, then reopens it to add all the data
to the other fields which could take an hour. Can the form save the record
to the table as soon as any data is put on the form?
