[AccessD] More Strange Autonumber Behavior - Access 2002 (aka Access XP)

HaH!!  I stand corrected...  I contacted my buddy who still works for
the @#$%^ company I left, (it was her app I fixed).  She had both an
autonumber field and an auto incrementing field that she set manually,
it was this one that bounced at 32K because of being set to integer.

But was it an autonumber?  I have seen integer/longs where you started
placing values in the column and if the first two are consecutive,
then
Access places the third and subsequent values in there automatically as
the
next subsequent values.  IOW, it is not an autonumber (which is an
actual
datatype) but rather just an int/long that happened to be
incrementing.

Hi Branthon

In Access 2.0 you cannot specify the AutoNumber/Counter to anything
else
than its native size (Long).

You would force me to look it up.  Access2.0.  And in more than one
instance.  ee-eefff

In every version of Acces that I have used AutoNumber fields can be
either
Long Integers or Replication IDs. How could you have set one to an
Integer?
