how to generate alphanumeric autonumber in Aceess backend with VB6 coding

[hkdani]

Option Explicit
Dim cnnADO As ADODB.Connection
Dim tbl As ADOX.Table
Dim ctg As ADOX.Catalog

Private Sub Form_Load()
' Instantiate the ActiveX data objects
Set cnnADO = New ADODB.Connection
Set ctg = New ADOX.Catalog
Set tbl = New ADOX.Table
' Open the database and establish the connection

cnnADO.Open "Provider='Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0';Data Source=practice.mdb"
Set ctg.ActiveConnection = cnnADO
' Add a new column (field) and make it autoincrementing.
With tbl
   .Name = "Employees"
   Set .ParentCatalog = ctg
   .Columns.Append "EmployeeIDs", adInteger
   .Columns("EmployeeIDs").Properties("AutoIncrement") = True
   
End With
' Append the new column
ctg.Tables.Append tbl

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
cnnADO.Close
Set ctg = Nothing
Set cnnADO = Nothing
Set tbl = Nothing
End Sub

That should add a new autoincrement field to an existing database. But your request seems to be contradictory: alphanumeric autonumber.

Since the autonumber uses the decimal numbering system, you should only want numbers.

You'll need to add references to the ActiveX data objects library and tp the ADO ext for DDL and Security.
