autonumber

[debbie14]

Hi, everyone! I'm new in programming and I need all the help I can get. I want an autonumber to appear in a text box. I've managed that, the code is working properly but the propblem is that each time I run the progrm the number starts again from 1. Is there any way to solve that? Maybe by saving it somewhere and retrieve it afterwards? Any solutions?

try this

Rnd(1) * 20

That works for random numbers. I need autonumber, increased by 1 each time.

You could save the number into a text file and retrieve it in your forms Load event.

Use SaveSetting and GetSetting

In the Form Unload event, add:
SaveSetting "NameofMyprogramme", "Settings", "AutoNumber", AutoNumber

and in the Form Load Event, add:
AutoNumber = GetSetting("NameofMyprogramme", "Settings", "AutoNumber", 1)

Note that the number 1 in getSetting is the default which will be overwritten by the value of your AutoNumber if it exists.
