Can this be done ?

Hi All
How to assign value to a field based on the value of the same field in the previous record?
Autonumber has its limitations for my purpose. Because, after I start filling up a form, I some times cancel the form filling process, and it affects the continuous numbering.
I guess the issue can be resolved by using some thing like record count facility. i.e. current' record's field value = number of records till previous record + 1.
How to exactly codify or execute the above by vba coding.
The Field Name is "SerialNo.", and Table Name is "StudentData"
Thanks

Hello,
Can someone tell me how I can change the increment in an existing database.
The PK is currently Auto ID with each new record currently 1001, 1002 and so on.
What I am trying to do is say starting monday the next new entry begins at 5003 versus 1003, in essence I am trying to change my first number to a 5 versus a 1.
Is this possible?
Thanks..

coursereference int AUTO_INCREMENT,
I have also entered VBA code for event handler below:

Every time when I delete the previous value , the next one entered is not decreased by one.
Could you please help how to set it up?

I'm redeveloping a DB for a new project, so have removed all previous records from relevant tables (to start a-fresh)
One snub, the ID fields in the tables are auto increasing from where they left off, rather than from 1
If anyone knows how to reset the auto counters, it would be very much appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi: does anybody knows how to create auto-increment in the query?
eg.
id
1
2
3
4
...
create auto-increment in the query, Not in the table? Thanks.
Basically, we have different camera modules on which we perform a given test a number of times, giving rise to 2 tables, tblCamera which will store basic info about the module and tblTest which will hold info for each test perfomed.
The camera module has a unique ID (CameraID, the Primary key in tblCamera and foreign key in tblTest (one to many)). The primary key in tblTest will be a compound key of CameraID and an incremental number for each test performed on a given camera (TestNo). The data for the tests will need to be entered through a form, so I can build a form based on tblCamera with a subform based on tblTest (which would be in datasheet view)... What I am looking for is a way to increment TestNo in the subform, starting at 1. I have tried using
=Nz(DMax("TestNo","tblTest","CameraID = '" & [Forms]![frmCamera]![txtCameraID] & "'"),0) + 1
in the Default Value box for this field, which works to a point but has the curious effect of adding each number twice (as the default value for a new record seems to be added as soon as you start typing in the current 'last row')
I just can't seem to get my head around this one, any suggestions would be much appreciated...
Thanks,

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!
My table key looks like this. Its a table that keeps a master record of conferences that occur during a calendar year
ConfYear (Date/Time) primary key
ConfNo (Byte) primary key
As you see its a composite key. Now each time a new record is created i want the ConfNo to autoincrement within its ConfYear. I used a byte as its not usually more than 4. Autonumber does not work as part of a composite key i found out.
2014 1
2014 2
2014 3 etc
And revert to 1 when ConfYear input changes to 2015
Is there a simple way to do this with say, a macro, or is the only way with VBA and DAO?
I have inherited an Access DB that is supposed to be kept "alive" but not made much better. On a weekly basis I get an Excel CSV that I'm supposed to import into one massive table; that works just fine.
However, there is another query that takes values from a table named "New Users From Import Table" and appends them to the current "User" table.
But before running that query I have to manually update a field called "Display Name ID" with the next highest number from the User table but only the highest value that isn't in the 9000 number range.
For example, my next highest "Display Name ID" is 1144, which of course does not include the records that range between 9000 - 9008.
I had to manually enter 89 "Display Name ID" values yesterday and I know there has to be a way to update that field when I pull the data over from the temp table without having to do it all manually.
Here's the query that pulls the data into the "User" table (after I've manually entered the incremented values).
INSERT INTO Users ( [Display Name ID], [User Type], Organization, [Display Name], [Alias Name] )
SELECT [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name ID], [New Users From Import Table].[User Type], [New Users From Import Table].Organization, [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name], [New Users From Import Table].[Alias Name]
FROM [New Users From Import Table];
how to auto increment one field based on the value in another field. What I have is a table with six fields. There is a foreign key assigned to each record and linked to another table. Four fields in this table are number fields indicating accordingly a number for a category, a number for a subcategory, a number for a subject for a subcategory and a number for an instruction for each subject of subcategory. The last field is the text field for each instruction. Numbers are required to be included in the report. Also, number of categories, subcategories, subjects and instructions vary by each record in the the table which this table is linked to. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have numbers in the subcategory to auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the category field, numbers for each subject field would auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the subcategory field, and numbers in the instructions field to auto increment for each number in the subject field starting, again, with "1". I also need these numbers to restart with "1" for each new record in another table.
Basically, the table would look like this:
cat subcat subj instruction
1------1-------1------1
1------1-------2------1
1------2-------1------1
2------1-------1------1
2------1-------2------1
3------1-------1------1
3------1-------2------1
1------1-------1------1
(if the record in another table is a new/next table)and so forth..I have been looking for anything that could remotely work for me. Every VBA code I've tried is either don't work the way I need it to work, other codes making the field to continue increment numbers if the number already exists in the other field.
I'm making up a stock system for the independent jewellers I work for. Each stock pattern needs an individual code which can quickly be recognised read as tickets are often taken off the jewellery and can be mixed up easily. To this end we categorise based on two criteria:
1. Material
2. Type
At the moment these are as follows:
MATERIAL
IDMaterial
0Base and Miscellaneous
1Silver
2Gold
3Palladium
4Platinum
5Pewter
TYPE
IDStock Type
0Previously Owned
1Ring
2Pendant
3Chain
4Necklace
5Bracelet or Bangle
6Earrings
7Brooch
8Gents
9Gift, Clock or Miscellaneous
So if I had three pairs of silver earrings I want the first to be No. 161, the next 162, the next 163. If I had three Gold Bracelets I'd want them No. 251, 252, 253 and so on...Material and type are both selected form separate Comboboxes on a form.
I am attempting to update an oracle table using MS Access.
One of the fields to be updated is a primary key number field.
I'd like to use the autoincrement field to update that field.
My sql is:
Code:
Alter table testAutoNum Add column progid autoincrement (1001,2)
This sql nicely creates the new field in the table, but it doesn't start at 1001 and increment by 2; it starts and 1 and increments by 1.It is also creating an autonumber and I need it to be a number.
What am I doing wrong?
I would like to know if there is any procedure to restrict/stop auto number increment for certain number of record count (say 50), then increment by 1 for next 50 records.

I have a database that has a few tables and in one of them (Originators), there is all the info about my loan originators including there comission level. I would like it when they turn in a certain amount of loans there commision level will increase. Is this posible? Here is my DB setup.
Tables:
Originators- 1 to many-
OriginatorID,FirstName,LastName,OrigSSN, Address,City,State,PostalCode,HomePhone,WorkPhone, CellPhone,FaxNumber,EmailName,BirthDate,Level(This is the commision level, and its in %).
Customers- 1 to many-CustomerID,FirstName,LastName,SSN,HomePhone,MobiPh one,FaxNumber,Address,City,State,Zip,Email,BirthDa te,CreditScore,SpouseFirst,SpouseLast,SpouceSSN,Sp ouceBirthDate,SpouceCreditScore,OriginatorID.
Loans- many to 1-
LoanID,LoanType,StartDate,EndDate,LoanLender,Custo merID.
Lenders- 1 to 1-
ID,LoanLender.
When a customer is added to the DB it is done with a form that has OriginatorID(which is autocreated), CustomerID(also auto) and some other of the customer stuff like phone numbers. When this happens I would like to have the originators % level increase, say after every 4 customers entered. Is it possible?
Thanks,

Hi,
Need a little help with rounding up. In A2K I have a form with a textbox that displays a security deposit. Security deposit is calculated by rounding the payment to the next $25 increment, hence a payment of 324.53 should have a security deposity of $325.00, but a payment of $325.01 should have a security deposit of $350.00. The code I am using for a datasource for txtSecurity deposit usually works correctly, but for this payment ($324.53) it rounds to $350.00. Here is the code..
=(([txtPayment]25)*25+[txtSecDepRndTo])
txtSecDepRndTo holds the $25 incremental value.
Incidentally, if the payment is $324.49 my code rounds the Security Deposit to $325.00 as it should.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is the problem. If I have a field that contains something like this:
GHP-K-0000D
How can I make the number portion (0000) increment by one when a check box is checked?
Thanks in advance
i have 2 field "CLIENT ID" and "CLIENT CODE". when i post a new record, i want the "CLIENT ID" and "CLIENT CODE" to merge to give me 1 field "CLIENT". the CLIENT CODE should be prompted for eg. THO or BLT and added to the CLIENT ID which will compose of 001 or 002. The CLIENT ID should also increment when each new CLIENT record is posted.
The example should make things clear.
CLIENT ID CLIENT CODE CLIENT
001 THO THO001
002 THO THO002
001 BLT BLT001
it should look up the last CLIENT value and then for the new record just continue on the previous entry.
Hi
I have a numeric field called FileNo and an autonumber field called FileID in a table called tblFile.
I also have a lookup numeric field called FileTypeID (with values 1 or 2 or 3) on another table called tblFileType.
I need the value of FileNo which I am showing on a Form frmFile to change dependant on the value of the FileTypeID
i.e. If FileTypeID = 1 FlieNo should start at 100
If FileTypeID = 2 FileNo should start at 200
If FileTypeID = 3 FileNo should start at 300
Then when I create a new record I need to increment by 1 the value of FileNo according to the FileTypeID
I've setup a button and attached this code to its onclick event but it only works as long as I don't change the FileTypeID
Dim B As Integer
Dim H As Integer
Dim N As Integer
Do While FileID > 0
DoCmd.GoToRecord,,acPrevious
If FileTypeID = 1 Then
B = FileNo
Else
If FileTypeID = 2 Then
H = FileNo
Else
If FileTypeID = 3 Then
N = FileNo
End If
End If
End If
Loop
DoCmd.GoToRecord,,acLast
If FileType = 1 Then
FileNumber = B + 1
Else
If FileType = 2 Then
FileNumber = H + 1
Else
If FileType = 3 Then
FileNumber = N + 1
End If
End If
End If

I was attempting to set up the primary key in a date / increment format.
Basically the format would be year, month, day, increment (starting at 001)
060125-001
060125-002
060125-003
etc
next day I would like the key to change according to date and reset the increment to start again at 001
060126-001
060126-002
etc
I do realize they are different data types, I'm just not sure how to attack setting it up. Thank you in advance for any help / suggestions. :)
