How do I add line numbers to a Make Table in Access?
Is there a function that I can add to the make table query that will
number the lines automatically?

Not sure what a "make table" is, but see if http://www.aspfaq.com/2427
helps.

FYI:

Access calls this a "Make Table Query":

SELECT [some columns]
INTO Foo FROM Bar

(But, of course, in Access, the syntax is really strange)

Hi

If this is only for display purposes then your Front End application should
be assigning this number.

Wazup with all the MS Access quations here lately? Try posting to one of the
many microsoft.public.access* groups.

Good point, I was assuming they were in Access, and calling the query from
SQL Server... I guess I shouldn't make such bold assumptions.  :-)

Perhaps she is querying or linking from SQL Server, but "Make Tables" and
"Table Lines" sounds like something peculiar to the MS Access designer.

Not to beat a dead horse but, arguably, a Make Table could just as easily be
created from a linked query than internally, in fact more likely I would
guess, since why would you need to make a table from a table that is already
there.  And "Table Lines" is a misnomer in any database, so I wouldn't say
that it indicates or precludes any specific platform.  IMHO.

You should just quickly eyeball all the *wildly OT* stuff in
microsoft.public.access.  I wouldn't be surprised if Access guys post here
just so their question doesn't get lost among all the posts about internet
service, modems, device manager, word, excel, Adobe Acrobat, etc in the
access group.  That place is a freakshow.  :-)

Access is to SQL Server what Jerry Springer is to Firing Line.

LOL!  OK, you got me on that one!  That remark is practically a sig-block!
