Adding A Second Auto Number Field To Current Table

Jun 22, 2007

Is this possible, and how can I do it?

Adding a second auto number field to current table and auto numbering current entries?

I need to combine some records from the same order number that currently have detailed names. I'm trying to simplify them, but I can't because it creates duplicate records.

Appending Records With A Desired Auto Number In A Table With Auto Number

Oct 26, 2005

Here is my issue. In a table with an Auto Number index some records have been deleted. I have been able to recreate them along with their original auto number. The problem is that I do not know how to append these records forcing the original auto number. I have tried changing the auto number field to a number field in the table, this works except I cannot change it back to auto number.

I am sure I’m not the first with this question or issue. I did search through a couple hundred entries about auto number before I posted this question.

Modules & VBA :: Table With Auto Number Key Field That Is Numbered Sequentially

Oct 10, 2013

I have a table (tblContact) with an auto number key field that is numbered sequentially (1-8) there are no deletions, each new record is appended.I wrote a simple FindFirst line to locate a record that is the first record in the table. The FindFirst failed to find the record.So, I wrote a Do Until Loop that cycles through each record looking for the record that I want to find (the first record with key field 1).

Code:

rstContact.MoveFirst
Debug.Print "ContactID: " & rstContact.Fields("ContactID")
Debug.Print "CEmployerID: " & rstContact.Fields("CEmployerID") & vbCrLf

Do Until rstContact.EOF
Debug.Print "ContactID: " & rstContact.Fields("ContactID")
Debug.Print "CEmployerID: " & rstContact.Fields("CEmployerID") & vbCrLf

This works to find the first record... eventually, because it does not begin its search at the first record. The results in the immediate window are below.

Code:

ContactID: 4
CEmployerID: 2
ContactID: 4
CEmployerID: 2
ContactID: 5
CEmployerID: 4

[code]...

I believe the field CEmployerID is unrelated to the issue. I am also attaching screen shots of the table "tblContact" and code with immediate window. I have tried indexing and not indexing the CEmployerID field in the Contact table to no avail. Even though the Do Until Loop eventually finds my record,

Adding A Auto Increment Text/Number

Jan 4, 2005

I have a daabase that I am importing via excel. I want the entries to be numbered
ex: MT0001
MT0002
etc....

I would like it to promt the user for the last number(or next number in sequence) entered, then fill in the blank records with the next increment number.
The prefix will also change to so eventually the user would enter into the prompt RD0001. then autofill the 140 imported records with RD0002, rd0003... etc....

I can't really make seperate fields because the MT0001 number will become a barcode and putting them seperate causes many issues.

can this be done? Any help would be great I am still a beginner but slowly learning!
Thanks!

Forms :: Text Field Auto Update When Adding New Records

Jul 22, 2014

I have 2 tables Master table (Jobs) containing the primary key ("Job Reference") and 2nd table (Candidates) with the foreign key ("Job Reference")

2 Forms

frmJobs Form to view job details
frmCandidates form to view Candates information

I have placed add new candidate button on the frmJobs form which opens the candidate form in the add mode as a blank form. This is fine but I'm looking to add a record where it picks up the "Job Reference" text field value from the main frmJobs and update it in the "Job Refernce" text field on the frmCandidate when I click add new candidate.

How can I achieve this? I'm fairly new to access/vba

Auto Number Field Problems

Jan 25, 2006

Hi guys,

Just a quick one ( I think )

I have a table which already has an autonumber ( the id field )
But I need to create another field also with an auto generated number which will generate reference number which i need to start at a pre-defined number.
The problem is, im not allowed to use 2 auto number fields, and access is prompting me to use a number field instead.

The question is, is there a way around this ?
Can i create another field which works the same way as an auto number and increments the number by 1 for each new record entered ?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Max

Auto Number / Type Field

Oct 15, 2007

I have an order table [OrderMain], which contains [OrderNumber] "Auto Number" along with various customer related only info

Then i have a order line table [OrderLines] which contains the items ordered. Which looks like

OrderNumber
OrderLine
PartNumber

These tables are in a form, relationship of [OrderNumber]

This structure enables me to order as many parts as i'd like against 1 order number.

What i would like to do is set something similar to a auto number in the OrderLines table. This would be in the Lines Field.

The problem is, AutoNumber can't be used in the [Lines] field as each new order line # would continue from the last #.

The result would look like:

Auto Number Using A Field And Letters

Aug 25, 2014

The big issue is wanting to create the following records in a subform every time a new record in the subform is added. I can populate the Ticket field and know how to cast fields as strings to append them (so I can get the Cylinder field). The output is used to populate a table called Cylinders. My question is:

How do I create a field of letters (or numbers) corresponding to the row in the subform without continuing from the previous letter (or number) in the Cylinders table?

Ticket

1589B

1600
C
1600C

Append A Record Using Vba Where There Is An Auto Number Field

Jan 5, 2006

Hi, basically what i want to do is append a record to a table using vba. I would like to take two values from my form (productID, supplierID) and insert them into a table (supplierProductsTBL) under the same headings. I've constructed an sql statement but am getting the following error:

runtime error '3346'

number of query values and destination fields are not the same'

I think this happens because the table also contains an autonumber field (supplierProductID) and i'm not referencing this in my sql statement (below):

mySQL = "INSERT INTO SupplierProductsTBL ( SupplierID, ProductID ) VALUES ('" & SupplierID & "'), ('" & ProductID & "')"

i wuld just get rid of the autonumber field but i need this.

Any help on this would be appreciated, cheers mark.

Multiple Table - Auto Number

Mar 10, 2006

Not to sure if I am doing the table structure correctly as you may come up with an alternative.

I have an [Pre-Order] table, which is linked to an [Order Details], table. A product grp is assigned to each Pre-Order. One Order can have many colours. So what I need is to be able to have an Auto Number generated sequentially depending on what the product grp is.

So for example, I order some shirts, in three colours.

Shirt Product Grp is P

The start of the barcode is 175

Style number is the next section of the barcode which needs to be sequential generated.

so
175 0001
175 0002
etc


Yes this is easy with an AutoNumber, my problem is that my next order could be ties.

Product grp J

The start of the barcode is 145, i need the autonumber to start from 0001
not start from where the previous order ( in this example Shirt above )

so

145 0001
145 0002

do i have to have a separate table for each product grp, ( there are 26 Product grps )

please help, a bit stuck

Tables :: Alpha Numeric Auto-number Field

Jul 26, 2014

I need some kind of function (I been told) that generates 3 different alphanumeric autonumbers in the same field when adding a new record, starting such field from A-1, B-1 and C-1 to infinite.Because the record gets inserted in the table with an append query and not manually through a form, I believe the function should be placed in the Default Value setting of the field.
