Forms :: Auto Generate File Number Based On Number Of Records In Year
Jan 21, 2014I 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.

General :: Auto Generate Report Number When Required
Jul 1, 2013We have a large split database with 3 users on a single site. We will soon be increasing this to 6 users across 2 sites.
One of the fields in the main table is "report number" where a line is given a unique number. Not every line is given this number, as it depends on the finished status of the product.
The numbers are currently hand written onto a sheet as they are used, which obviously avoids duplicates. This however will be near on impossible once the database is shared across 2 sites.
the format of the number is 00/0000 where the first two digits are the year, and the last four increase sequentially.
Is there a reasonably easy way to incorporate this into the database itself, where a number can be generated as required, as apposed to every time?
Reports :: Auto Generate Invoice Number On Report
Jul 1, 2013I have created invoices as reports but now I'm looking for a way to add an invoice number to it. It needs to be an auto increment number for every invoice for every client.
I have 10 different clients and I want them to have their own incremented invoice number. Every client has it own unique number. So for example in week 1 I want to have the following invoice numbers; 01-0001, 02-0001, 03-0001 etc. In week 2 I want them to be; 01-0002, 02-0002, 03-0002. It is important that every client has the invoice numbers without gaps.
What is the best way to realize this?
Auto-number Generation Based On Field1 To Generate SKU?
Nov 13, 2012I want to input a number value in [field1], then i want [field2] to generate an auto number BUT i want it to increase based on [field1] THEN combine them into [field3] creating a unique SKU for every item I have.
EXAMPLE1: I will type in [field1]: "001234". [field2]will enter "000001" because it is the first occurrence of "001234" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "001234-00001"
EXAMPLE2: I will type in [field1]: "002468". [field2]will enter "000001" because it is the first occurrence of "002468" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "002468-00001"
EXAMPLE3: I will type in [field1]: "001234". [field2]will enter "000002" because it is the second occurrence of "001234" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "001234-00002"
General :: Auto Generate A Number In Where Data Field Is Text
Jul 10, 2012I have
Table called "Products"
Field 1= "Product ID" which is a text field (PK) but numbers are used (ie 1 -20)
Field 2= Products -showing our list of 20 products
When I enter a new product, currently I have to look in the table to find the last ID used then use the next one available. I have created a form to be used for data entry to enter new products
What I am trying to do is :- 1, have the form open at data entry level but still able to scroll and see all records and 2, Have the form auto generate the next number available. For example, I have 20 products entered so when the form opens to enter a new product, the ID is automatically at number 21.
I wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.

WBH-XRY-001
WBH-XRY-002 and so on.....
Where DGG & WBH are Hospital Codes (PK in tblHospitalCodes) ; ECG & XRY are Equipment Codes (PK in tblEquipmentCodes) ; last 3 digit denotes the AutoNumber.Both the Hospital & the Equipment select using combo box then generates the AutoNumber Using command Button.
Appending Records With A Desired Auto Number In A Table With Auto Number
Oct 26, 2005Here 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.

Reports :: Generate Number Of Rows In Report Depending On Number In Another Field
Nov 4, 2013I have a form where we fill in information for supply of equipment to employees.
Each item must be signed for on a printed report.
I am encountering problems trying to create enough rows in my report detail for each signature of the items supplied.
For example, on the form I will select the "equipment" - 4 hats supplied and 3 boots. On the report I want the equipment set as the group and the detail to be a number or rows which equals the number of selected items. therefore under the Hats group heading I want 4 blank rows which are made up of 3 text boxes - Print Name, Signature & Date and another group heading for boots but with 3 lines.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAuto Generate The First And Last Date Of This Month
May 26, 2005Does anyone know how to write a simple method of having a text box on a form default to the first day of the current month. i.e. 01/05/2005 and then a second one equalling the last day of the current month i.e. 31/05/2005?
I can make it simply default to today by having the obvious =now() or =date() in the default section but i am bit stumped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

General :: Auto Generate Unique Customer IDs
Aug 16, 2012I am in the process of creating a DB for customer names, job numbers and document numbers, but have run into a problem right from the start.We are using a naming convention of the first 3 letters of the customer name, and 3 numbers after that. Eg. Customer names Allstar, Allpro would be All001 and All002 respectively.
The job numbers would then be sequential numbers, for each customer. So the first job for Allstar would be All001-001 and so on.How do I get Access to check/create the customer ID's? And then how do I get Access to check for the next job number for each customer?I was able to do this in Excel with the following;
=LEFT(B12,3)&COUNTIF($B$3:B12,LEFT(B12,3)&"*") in one cell
=IF(B12="","",LEFT(D12,3)&TEXT(RIGHT(D12,1),"00")) in another to add the preceding zero's.
Obviosuly , Excel is not the best way of tracking customers, jobs, documents etc.

Tables :: Auto Generate Hyperlink In Table Based On Field Name
Aug 29, 2014 I Have a table with 15000 entries. This table lists components we use. This table is used to generate queries/forms. I have been asked to add a hyperlink to this table to link to a drawing of the component. All the drawings are in PDF and in the same folder. I am looking for a way to automatically update the hyperlink fields all at once. The Hyperlink will be in the format of servershareddrawings12345.pdfwhere 12345 is the component name from the table.
But there are a few small problems with the component names.
1. If the component begins with a B- . The drawing name will be all the characters except when there is a second dash in the component. So if the component is B-12345-678 the drawing name will only be B-12345.
2. If The component begins with AB, The drawing will be the first 5 characters regardless of what follows, e.g. AB123.
3. Finally for all other components the full component name will be the drawing name.
Putting the naming to one side, how to go about auto generating the hyperlink. I have posted this in the table section, but maybe this should be in another section like queries or VBA.

Generate New Patient ID Number
Nov 30, 2004I am working on a database for our health services office, which includes a table "Tbl_Patients"
THe Key in this table is a number the office will enter. They have an ID number for existing patients that they will use when they come in.
However, should a new patient come to the office, they would like for the database to assign a new number, the first one starting at 4000.
I would like to put a command button on the new patient form that says "Assign Number" and have that number generated and used as the new ID.
THis may not be real clear, so ask if you have any questions
Thanks in advance!
