G Guest Sep 24, 2006 #2 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: http://www.trigeminal.com/code/guids.bas It really depends on what you want to do with it. Barry

S strive4peace Sep 24, 2006 #3 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, Crystal * have an awesome day * MVP Access Remote Programming and Training strive4peace2006 at yahoo.com *
