MS Access Forum / New Users / May 2005how do i add a record (not at end of doc)
Hi... I need to add a couple records into my file... Should I use my table? form? or report? I have about 50 forms... I do not want to add the record at the end, it needs to go within the 50- not to become #51 but rather, for example #17- can I do add this with my record # reflecting where I inserted the new form and the subsequent forms adjusting their # to, for example 18-51 rather than the previous 17-50??? > Hi...

There is no "order" to stored records. Any time you need to see or process them in a specific order you need to use a query that imposes that sort order on them. If your records include a numeric field that you can sort on then it doesn't matter where the *table* happens to store that record as you can always create a query sorted on that numeric field.  SignatureI don't check the Email account attached to this message. Send instead to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com I clicked to sort according to the record # I gave each file and that is fine. I can add another file giving it any record # I want... but the problem is, if I want to add it between files and give it a # corresponding to where I place it... then all the subsequent files' record #s need to each be increased by 1 or by how many files I add. Is there a way to add a file/row to a table and then automatically adjust all following record #s up by one? So if I have files/rows 1 through 50 and I find I need to add a file/row that needs to be 17th in the record, I can click to make a new record, I can give it the record # of 17, but then I need to make the original 17 become 18 and then 18 to 19 and then 19 to 20 and so on until 50 becomes 51. Is there a way to do this without manually changing each file? > > Hi...
