It is possible to create a uniques record ID from a query alone, or
does it have to be generated from a table??

Many Thanks

The autonumber field in a table generates a long value. There is no way to do
this natively in a query. However, you can generate a GUID in a query by
calling a function, like this ones in this module:

It really depends on what you want to do with it.

Hi Alec,

Every table should have an autonumber ID field (in my opinion). That
said, there is no need to use a query to generate a unique number...

Warm Regards,
