Hi, I think everyone is misunderstanding my problem as perhaps I didnt phrase it very well.
I need to add a new autonumber field to my db, but I need to make sure when the numbers go into the field they are in the order of one of my other fields that is a date field. i.e. I have a field which shows the date someone became a member - but my current ID field doesnt match in order. So I need to add a new ID field so that numbers 1 - say 100 are say 1st Jan 00 then numbers 101 - say 201 are say 2nd Jan 00 etc. etc. So that the ID fields order matches the dates order. Now I can write SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY STARTDATE which orders the db correctly, but then how do I add an autonumber field to it and keep the records in that order? Thanks!
