As I am a bit of a novice to VB I need help with the following problem. I have a form to add new members to my membership table in a database. The form contains text boxes that write to the table via a command button. One of the text boxes is for 'Membership Number'. I want this text box to automatically come up with the next available number when I open the form. I'm sure that this is a fairly simple question, but I am new to the subject!
