I want to populate a variable, MaxID, with the highest ID
in the PROJECT table. The ID field is an Integer. I want
to add 1 to MaxID, place a text prefix on it of "PM" and
insert it back into the PROJECT table in a PMID text field
(This will be used to link it to a Public Meeting record
in another table)

How do I populate the MaxID variable? (Access 2000)

TIA,
Al
