Hi Alex
I really appreciate your help here!!
But still no luck - My replies are below.....
A quick, alternative possibility :
Create a new ODB file that connects to your database. Save it under a
new name.
Open the newly named (and currently empty, at least with regard to
forms, queries, etc) ODB file.
I tried this and the ID field comes through as 'No increment' and still
will NOT change!!
Did you read Fernand's comment ?
Yes - There is only ONE field on my Form that calls this field. The one
I'm trying to change.
your old RecordID was just an INT that you filled in yourself -
No - it was empty, like all my fields), and I imported my old data from
a CSV file and then started to work. That,s when I discovered I had not
set it to Auto Increment.
so now that you have converted it to INT AUTO_INCREMENT, did you regenerate the
values, or have you just carried on from the previous lastinsert_id() of
the RecordID field ?
I can not change it so have not regenerate it.
All I can do at the moment is enter the next number by hand.
Ways around this :
- reindex your table using the appropriate mysql command ;
- run mysqlcheck from the command line
I'm NOT a DB Admin at all I just need this DB to keep all the details of my
Group. The DB is just a very important tool to me!!
I tried to run the 'mysqlcheck' command and I don't know what the output is but
this is what I got ...
Variables (--variable-name=value)
and boolean options {FALSE|TRUE} Value (after reading options)
--------------------------------- -----------------------------
