CustomerID needs to be Autonumberbut you can’t make a field Autonumber of it’s already got data in it!

• create the table• make a new CustomerID field with Autonumber• delete all records• use Append Query to add data again

Also, printcard and student can be set to Yes/No

Create a form to add new members(remember that they will use it themselves)

• what do we want them to see?• how can we make the form open up ready for a new record?• what should their points total be?• how can we make their CustomerID appear as a membership number?• how can we prevent them from changing their own points?! (or anything else)
