1. COThe value of Var should be the string, "select max(Autonumber) from tblAutonumber" strMaxNum will equal the value as returned from the query. I have tested this on my sample database and it works, (after adding the semicolon, and I am not doing any of the insert statements). Try testing the select, without the inserts, assuming there is data in tblAutonumber and Autonumber is a valid field name.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
