Insert record (1 Viewer)

[bodylojohn]

Hello,

I have a table called tblELEMENT, consisting of ID, Element and sort

The elements must be in a specific order. There for I have the field "sort"

When I insert an Element between sort value 122 and 123 I want the new element to get the sort value 123 and everything that comes after 123 I want to add the sort value by 1. 123 becomes 124, etc.

Do you guys have an idea to go about this?

Thanks in advance!

do an update statement on the table adding 1 to all where > 123...

Alternatively allow spaces for inserts, i.e make 122 be 1220 and 123 be 1230
This allows you to insert easy new records and move also easy.
