Hi,

I need to build a table as follows:

Table: xRef

Field1 Field2
1 1256441
2 1259823
3 1155665
4 1177335
5 1234455
. .
. .

Field1 represents a generated sequential number and Field2
is a Client's account number.

Thank you in advance,

Rick

Hi

If you are not concerned about gaps in the sequence, just define a column in the table as an autonumber type Regards

Hi

If it is OK to potentially have gaps in the sequence of numbers, why not just define an autonumber field in your table Regards
