Chris, Thats not what i think im Asking.
I was wondering if its possible to have a AUTO_INCREMENT ID number also have the format mmddyy. So when you query the table it would be the PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT ID field: select * from table: name email phone ID Bugs [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5554321 1-112403 Bunny [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5554331 2-112403 name [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5554341 3-112403 bbbb [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5554351 4-112503 Thanks, Ron -----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 5:30 PM To: MySQL List Subject: RE: create own auto increment number Are you talking about a multiple key PRIMARY KEY? CREATE TABLE Blah ( MyDate datetime, MyID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, ... PRIMARY KEY (MyDate,MyID) ) for each unique MyDate the Auto Increment sequence will start over. If that's not what you're asking for, could you clairfy some more?

Is that possible??? Any variant of that is fine the big issue is they want the Date with the ID number of the record.
