Hi
I need to have an auto number in a date base, but I require it to have a certain format for example.

VOC-03-05-0000001

The VOC is always there but the 03-05 is the month and year, and the 0000001 is the auto number part always incrementing by 1 each record.

Any ideas ?
 
prodtest,

Hope they help!
Tim
