I have an Access database that uses an autonumber for the primary key. I hv app. 110 items in the table, and yet when I add a new item, it autonumbers as 534097 or some ridiculously long number.
How can I get it to go back to a smaller number without removing/trashing existing ID fields?
I've searched the net but I couldn't find any SQL code on how to insert an autonumber column into an access database and table. Can anyone include the code?
View Replies View RelatedOK, I realize this is a subject that almost every developer would encounter, so I understand the answer is probably out there somewhere. Suffice it to say that I have been looking, both in this forum and on google, found many SQL server answers, and one for Access, which I have tried with no success. See the following: Code:
sql = "INSERT into someTable(IntColumn) values (" & fakeValue & ") SELECT @@IDENTITY"
set rs = conn.execute(sql)
response.write "New ID was " & rs(0)
This results in a JET database error, Missing semicolon at end of SQL statement. I tried adding it after the close paren, after the select @@identity, and after both, with the same error.
Is there any way to format the autonumber or change it in Microsoft Access?

Set cnn1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
openStr = "driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _

rs.Open sql, cnn1, adOpenDynamic, adLockPessimistic, adCmdText

I've tried multiple variations.
I have a line of code in my script that looks like this:

This gives me an error of data type not the same. Anyone know what the problem might be?
Ive got a table in an access database and I want to generate my own autonumber
based on the number of records in the table. Code:
I'm creating a basic ASP guest book, keeping my guest book entries
in a Microsoft Access database, and using ADO to access it. My problem is
that I am using the autonumbered ID field to split my guestbook into pages
of 10 entries. It works for the most part, but if I delete an entry, a gap
is left in the records and I end up 9 entries instead of 10 on that page.
Basically I need a better way of sorting this out - I thought of SELECTing
all the records into an array first and then working from that, but I can't
get array to be dynamic enough in VBscript
A portion of the asp for our site looks like this: Code:
insert = "INSERT INTO Students VALUES ( '" & _
(????)
CStr ( Request ("UserName") ) & "','" & _
CStr ( Request ("Password") ) & "','" & _
CStr ( Request ("Email") ) & "','" & _
CStr ( Request ("Country") ) & "','" & _
CStr ( Request ("DOB") ) & "','" & _
Date() & "@" & Time() & "','" & _
Date() & "' )"
It just inserts a new record into the db. What we did was add an autonumber field to the db, but now it won't update.
We know why - because it needs a value for every category in the db - but we don't know how to code it so it will update the db correctly. So, if anyone could help me with the (????) line in the coding so it will correctly update, that would be perfect!
How can i get the autonumber(primary key value) from the specific rows when i just insert it.Example
i just insert the member information.
sql="INSERT IMTO register(user,password,address) VALUES (shujuan,841218,singapore)"
so how can i get the primarykey for this row after i just create it.
var SQLString = "INSERT INTO table VALUES( '' ,'" + Request.Form("name") + "','"
+ strAlpha + "','', '"
+ Request.Form("email") + "', '"
+ Request.Form("userid") + "')";
dbConnection.Execute(SQLString);
This is jscript inserting into access2000. My table looks like this:
id (autonumber)
name
date
email
userid
Its the first field that causing my problems, I get a data type mismatch error. How do I insert with an auto incremented field?
What is the best way of using an AutoNumber system on an SQL server?I've been used to using Microsoft DBs for my online apps and have now upgraded to using Microsoft SQL server.
I want to be able to insert a new record into the database not such a problem but I want each record to have a unique identity no eg. NewsID. I know that you can do a lookup of the MAX number on insertion but if two people are inserting at the same time this may cause problems with duplication.
I use (something like) following code to add new records to a database, but it doesn't work!!! I need to know the value of an AutoNumber-field when I add the record. Why doesn't it work and how can I make it work? I think it should be easy, but I can't figure it out! Code:
View Replies View RelatedI have a page that does an insert into a table in an Access DB which has an autonumber primary key field. Following this insert I need to be able to get the ID that was generated. If I were using SQL Server I would simply return fetch @@IDENTITY from a stored procedure for example.
Does anyone here know of something similar I can use in Access to be able to get that ID? I tried just using a SELECT query with all the information I had just inserted but it comes up empty unless I put it in a separate request (i.e. redirect to a new page passing all the info through the querystring and then building the query on the redirect page...which is a huge pain and takes FOREVER to run.
I have a form that is filled out and put into an Access database. The id field is Autonumber.
What I would like to do is also insert this data (or some of it) either into another database or another table, but I would like the created AutoNumber to be a part of this data. Is there any way to get this number immediatly after insertion?
I'm trying to write the code for an autonumber to go in to a text field when the page is open. I had it working in access but of course it won't work in asp. The format has to be for example: PBC-1200.

View Replies View RelatedI am using Ms Access database and I have set 3 digits (e.g. 000) for an autonumber field of my table.Its working fine in Access and incrementing automatically like this (001, 002, 003 ...), but when I call the data on a web page using ASP its displaying these numbers like this (1, 2, 3, 4 ...) I dont understand why is it not displaying the numbers as it is in the table.

I want to take the last record in my database and display it on my ASP program. From my understanding, when last record + 1, it will be autonumber right. It's like generaing the autonumber for invoice number.
For easier view, my last record is 21. So I want that 21 appear in my ASP system as 22.
Is anyone can give me the idea how to make it?

The error is similar to:

I'm trying to access a table in a MS Access database using ASP but the name of the table is causing me some trouble. The problem is the table name has a space in it eg, "My Table".
If i try and access it using a query "SELECT * FROM My News", it says i cant find table "My". If i remove the space from the name (to MyTable) it works fine. But the trouble is its a customers database and i cant easily rename it because its linked to other tables and db's.
How can i access a table with a space in its name? I've tried "SELECT * FROM My_News" but that doesnt work either.

What is this all about? Generally I run against SQL Server but now I have to use access. The query I want to run is a simple double join
SELECT tblArtists.*,tblGenres.name AS genreName,tblPages.pageId
FROM (tblArtists
INNER JOIN tblGenres ON tblArtists.genreId = tblGenres.genreId)
LEFT JOIN tblPages ON tblArtists.artistId = tblPages.artistId
ORDER BY surName ASC, firstName ASC
Now If I run this question in access against the database it accurateley returns two posts. BUT When I paste the same query into an asp document and runs it with a fileDSN against the same database it returns nothing!? Is this some kind of joke from Microsoft?
I have an Access DB which contains couple of link tables. All these tables are from different databases. So each one has it's own database password. Since there is no way to save the password during the DSN creation. Then you need to manually type in the password each first time when open the table.
This causes the problem in ASP code during run a query. Since the table cannot be accessed due to the password protection. Is there any statement than can open a table and meanwhile pass the password in? Does anyone experienced with the similar situation?
I generate my codes using a generator. My problem is that I can not write into my Access database. I had gone to tools to allow access permission . still nothing.
