Question : Access (Form Tiicket # and matching record)

I have an Access form with a ticket numbers that are created for each entry.  The data entered into the form by multiple users is duplicated if there are 2 users at once entering a ticket.  So, I want to create a formula in the table so the row matches the row # to eliminate the duplicate numbers.  The goal is for the ticket numbers to match the Form Record numbers.

Please advise... thankyou.

Answer : Access (Form Tiicket # and matching record)

The use of the Autonumber field will provide a unique number for each user without duplication.   The challenge arises when one user starts to add a record and chooses to cancel - the number is skipped and a gap exists in the numbering.
However, if you capture the deleted data using the BeforeDeleteConfirm event, you can identify these (expected few) exceptions.  This will keep the ticket number and rows synched as well.
