Automatic Numbering of Rows. Renumber on Add, Delete.

Learn how to have Access automatically number your records sequentially, starting at 1 and counting up. This is handy if you want to show a count of records. Renumber them when you add, edit, or delete records too.

Julian from the UK (a Learning Connection Member) asks: Is there any way to number records in order, starting with 1 and counting up? I need the list to renumber itself when I add or delete records. AutoNumbers don't work, obviously.

We'll modify the form so you can add a custom sort order that YOU can control, instead of relying on Access to number the records for us. We'll add a delete button, a renumber button, and buttons to move items up and down in the sort order.
