Does anyone have a trouble in Auto Number in Ms Access Database?
My case is I have 4,000 plus data with relationships to other table, and suddenly one field is not saving to the proper ID (data type of one field is MEMO).
If any one out there have this same problem please send me to my e-mail
kutchaia@yahoo.com or webmaster@alwabra.com
I want to prove this to my boss that Auto Number in database can cause a lot of problem.
Thanks
I have a table with about 3600 keys, numbered from 1 to 3600. When I try to enter a new record, the autonumber starts in the 20's. I get an error message about duplicate keys, and I have to cancel. If I try again the autonumber goes up by one, but it will take hours to do this with approximately 3600 tries to get past the highest exisiting key number. Is there a way to make Access reset this? THis table is linked to a many-to-many table and I can't start over or I will lose all my relationships.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHere 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.

I have a form [IUDATA]
I have a add record button.
I have a date field [DATEIN]
I have a text field [DRPNO]
If the [DPRNO] field is empty, I would like the user to have the [DPRNO] field be automatically populated after the user enters a date.
I'd like the format of [DPRNO] to be "dpr YY-XXX"
Where:
YY is the year of the [DATEIN] field and
XXX is number of records in that year.
So for example, if it was the 4th record with a 2013 date the [DPRNO] would be dpr 13-004.
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'm trying to get the maximum number in a table field to increase it by one depending on the member that is selected in a drop down in a field.
I have three tables: members, programs and times. Each member can have N programs and each program can be broadcast N times.
Each member has a three digit code, like XXX. Each program has the three digit code of the member + three numbers that are supposed to auto increment. That is, the first program of member X with the member code XXX is called XXX001.
What I'm trying to do is that when a new program is filled in and I select the member, then the program code should update automatically, adding one to the latest program by that member.
That is, if the last program by member X that was inserted in the database is XXX010, then if a new program is inserted it should automatically be XXX011, even though programs by other members have been added in between.
This is the code I use now, for the AfterUpdate when selecting the member in a dropdown in the form. But although I've played around a bit, I just get error messages...
Private Sub medlemsruta_AfterUpdate()
Dim medlemskod
medlemskod = Me![medlemsruta].Column(2)
Dim strMax As String
strMax = DMax("programs_kod", "table_programs", "Left$(programs_kod, 3) = medlemskod")
Me!program_kod = Left$(strMax, 3) & Format$(Val(Right$(strMax, 3)) + 1, "000")
End Sub
Medlemsruta is a dropdown where one selects the member from the members table, where the three digit code is in the third column (Column(2)).
I'm trying to use DMax to get the maximum number for the particular member and after that adding 1 to that for the new program code.
Grateful for any advice! Thanks!
I'm trying to get an invoice number field to auto generate the next number, keeping the format as "00000"...this is what I have, which gets the next number but drops the leading 0
Code:
Private Sub Customer_AfterUpdate()
If Len(Me.[InvoiceNumber] & vbNullString) = 0 Then
Me.[InvoiceNumber] = (DMax("[InvoiceNumber]", "[tblInvoiceNumber]") + 1)
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
End If
End Sub
invoice numbers are 04024, 04025 etc...how I keep the formatiing?
I need to create an auto number for service calls that show the following:
year as 08, 09 etc, month as a letter, Jan = A, Feb = B etc then an incremental number starting at 300 for each month/year combination.
So for example: 08A300
Can anyone help me as I am stuck?
Well, here's my database :
Name : String
Address : String
I want to add an automatically generated column, "no.", to show which number it's in. Like this :
No. Name Address
1. A Unknown
2. B Unknown2
The problem is, I can do that with Auto-Number, but if the user delete row 1, the number in row 2 is still 2, not 1.
Is it possible to generate query that have "no." column in it ?
I have a table with an auto number PK. This table will contain orders. I'd like to use the PK from this table as the Invoice number on the invoice. I'd like to have it start at a number other than "1" just because it looks better on an invoice. I don't know how to do this. I looked at the table design to see if there were options available to me there but couldn't find anything. Is it possible? (I do not know how to use code.)
View 7 Replies View RelatedThe title probably doesn't give an idea of what I need, so here goes.
We currently have reference #'s for our bills that include the date requested in mmddyy format, the first 3 letters of the customer, the initials of the order taker and finally a sequential number to show the sumber of bills that day.
example: 120705SEAGMM02 2nd order taken by GMM for Seagate on 12/7
120705SEARLH01 1st order taken by RLH for Seagate on 12/7
I want to generate this number automatically based on the date entered and the initials given of the user. We only deal with one customer at our desk so that will always be "SEA".
I have a query that generates the first portion (date, customer, and initials):
SELECT Format([REQDATE],"mm") AS [Month], Format([REQDATE],"dd") AS [Day], Format([REQDATE],"yy") AS [Year], Format([REQDATE],"mmddyy") AS [Both], [Both] & "SEA" & [PickUpReqData]![INITIALS] AS REFNO
FROM PickUpReqData;
But I can't seem to get my head around the part of generating the number. I know I had done this in a database I created 2 jobs ago but all my files were flooded out in Katrina. (I have since relocated to Atlanta, although I'm not looking for sympathy. But I will take what I can get!)
Anything to point me in the right direction will be appreciated. I am looking to have this on a form and feed the REFNO field in the PickUpReqData table.
Thanks.

I have a table called "OrderDetails" with following fields:
Num
OrderID (Primary key)
Product
Quantity
Price
I want to create a data entry subform that can used to enter order details in this table such that, for a given OrderID, the Num field is automatically set to previous number + 1. For example, for OrderID = 12, if there are 4 products that need to be entered, the 4 records should automatically take 1 , 2, 3, 4.
I have a form with an Auto number field. When the form is opened in new record mode the auto number field displays the following: (Auto Number) instead of the actual number that it has generated. I want the number to be displayed
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi, I have a form with some fields on it, there is one called Pro Number. what I would like to happen is when a new record is created, it starts at a certain number and continues to increment by one. In other words, the first record would be 5600 and the next new record would be 5601 etc.
I did have this working in an previous database, by creating a append query to start the number, but that does not seem to be working now...
Any help would be very much apprecited.

I make a data base every year for work orders that my work does for our customers, I have every thing set up and it looks great except for one field, last year I was able to make it do an auto number once I put the date in. for example first box work Order # ___ second box date once I put in the date an work order # would fill in the w/o# box and it would follow what ever the last work order # was (12600). for example I need the year 2006 TO START OFF WITH # 12601, What querie/option do I need to accomplish with this info.
View 2 Replies View Relatedare you able to do something with the auto number.
i'd like it to display R/N "month" auto number "year".
i cant seem to get it to display the month and year
I have an access data base and every year I (only my second year making it-ex-employee use to make it) need to make a new one to start off the year for all our new work orders.
but any way I have the form made looks exactly like the previous years but I can not get the work order box to become an auto number and I need it to tart of at 12601 and I had it so that when I put in the date the next work order # would pop in the box, and I need to get all the hours and part totals to add up.
I have 47 records in a table that were numbered 1-47 with auto number. I arranged the records in order of date increasing, and now, the auto numbers are all jumbled up. I want to have autonumber re-number the table 1-47 with 1 being the earliest date and 47 being the latest. Is there a way I can do this with autonumber? I need to continue using auto number, so I cannot simply just delete the field, and re arange the numbers manualy. what I tried to do was, delete the old auto number field, arange the table in order of date increasing, and then put auto number back in the table. All that did was give all the records their old numbers that auto number had previously given them. It's like access will not forget the numbers auto number had assigned to them.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi I have a question connected with new start of counting of Auto number filed in a table. I just want to start numbering from the beginning in easy way.
Thanks!
I have an ID field set as auto number, just because I need something for a key and all other data is not unique.
The problem is that it is not incrementing properly. I have 121621 in the autonumber field in the last record.
When making a new record, it is using 105347, which obviously already exists, and is causing problems.
I have already done a compact and repair which is supposed to fix this, but it has not. Is there anything else that I can do?
can I make a field that can auto-number which the format that I want??
As I know that there is two format for auto-number
but I don't like them
I want to number my own format
like
XXX-YYYYMM-ZZZZ
XXX is the category number that would be selected in the form connecting to table
YYYYMM is the date year and month
ZZZZ is another auto numbering
Can I do so
Hi everyone, i hope all is well.
In one of my databases, an auto-number field seems to have reset itself without manual intervention (e.g appending a long integer value). Does anyone have any suggestions for how this may have happened? :confused: :eek:
How can I make random auto numbers 8 digits in length (including leading zeros) and always positive?
Thank you
I have a query that pulls data from two tables. I need to have another column in the query that numbers the rows like a primary index or gives each records a different number. Any ideas without adding any columns to the orginal tables.
Thanks in Advance,
Greg
I have a database with a field called "Drawing Number".
I can set it up so that the prefix "STD." always appears and then I type in the relevant number.
BUT I cannot figure out how to set up autonumber so that the "STD." appears and then the auto number is added????
After deleting the data out of a database. I've been testing on a database and would like to delete all data and set the uto number back to 1.
