| Hi,I have a table with thousands of rows of data and i really need to add a new field called "autonumber" and in that field i need to update each row with an incrementing number starting from one. It does not matter what record starts with the numbering but i need them to all get an auto number. I've tried things i've found online but not getting anywhere, any advice please? |
