Your best bet would be to add Autonumber field: http://www.epesi.org/HelloWorld_-_part_ ... autonumber

i don't explain correct...
...i have so the id for every concact and for every companies (i have imported from a access database) and the ID is equal to the identification card of every employes...
...but i0m lookinf for a way to display it in a field as an information (es. address, phone, fax,etc..etc..)

i explain better (sorry for my bad english)...
...in my database sqm every contact and every companies is identify by an ID number that the system assing automatically...

...in my access database this ID is not "random" but is a specific identify number...
...i have import my access database in epesi and my specific ID has updated the random's one...

...now in the companies and also in contact boards the are all information (name, address, phone, fax, etc..) but not the ID NUMBER (i can only view it pressing at "i" icon on top of Windows)...

....i wanna to create another field to show ID NUMBER in the board...between the field "name" and the field "phone"...how must i create and set this field (integer, common data, float, autonumber, etc.. etc..)???? and i must insert also special string????

tnx a lot...and sorry again for my bad english :-)

Hi,

it depends on how users of EPESI behave. The simplest way would be create a string field, but then any could enter non-numeric value. Autonumber is not a right choice because it generates well formatted string of the record's ID (and you wrote that is not the right ID number, because your ID was different).

In my opinion it may be very confusing that your contact/company would have two different id numbers...
