Auto Increasing A Number, Depending On Maximum Number When Condition Is Met

Sep 18, 2006

Hi,

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!

Increasing Auto Number Value

Jun 4, 2007

I'm making an access database and I'm using the auto number data type for the ID field. But is there a way of increasing the value of the auto number without adding and deleing records over and over again? Basically the database is replacing an excel document that is currently being used. There are already over 5000 entries in the excel document and the access database needs to carry on from the last record in the excel form. Importing the excel data isn't possible, so how would I increase the auto number value?


Thanks

Tables :: Why Auto-number Is Not Incrementally Increasing

Jul 20, 2014

Using Access 2007..I have a table where the RecordID is an autonumber, and PK.To set this table up I have a load routine, (becuase I have done this multiple times for testing and further deveopment and I compact and repair the DB prior to loading) - the 690 records are correct numerically and autonumbered.This table has transactional data where existing records are updated and new records are appended.

I found the autonumber was not incrementally increasing - so no reseed the auto number (using ALTER TABLE 3IWSPLans ALTER COLUMN RecordID COUNTER (1000,1)) prior to starting the transactions.

New transactions will append correctly, up untill I amend a existing record (using a delete and append query via a staging table) - then the autonumber tries to reuse a number already in the table and because its not unique it errors.why the auto-number is not incrementally increasing correctly

Queries :: Auto Assign Increasing Number Based On Multiple Factors

Jun 11, 2015

I have written a check writer program for the company I work at. I have a table for Venders, and a separate table Invoices set with a 1-many relationship. When checks are printed it consolidates all the unpaid invoices for each vender to print a single check and mark it as paid with the date.

The checks already have a check number printed on them so what I need is an option that will allow me to enter the first check number when the print starts and Access will put that number in a field on the invoices page for each invoice associated with the first vender printed, then would increase the number by one and put that number in the invoices associated with the next vender printed.

Reports :: Generate Number Of Rows In Report Depending On Number In Another Field

Nov 4, 2013

I 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.

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.

Forms :: Auto Generate File Number Based On Number Of Records In Year

Jan 21, 2014

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.

Query That Result Incremental Number, With No Auto-Number

Sep 10, 2006

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 ?

General :: Auto Number PK Change Starting Number?

Dec 18, 2013

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.)

Auto Sequence Number For Reference Number

Dec 8, 2005

The 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.

Creating A Serial Number That Is NOT Auto-number

Mar 20, 2012

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.

Maximum Number Of Connections

May 4, 2005

Hi,
we use access for localisation in our application. The business object which accessess the access uses DAO connectivity and we often land to
"Too many client tasks" problem.

is it wise to change the DAO to ADO? if so the above problem will go off?
what are the chances that the problem still persists?

is that access has any limits on the number of connections? like 64, 255? or is that ADO/DAO has any limitaions on the number of concurrent connections to access DB?

Pls help, your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Venkat.

Maximum Number Of Relationships?

Jun 3, 2005

My issue:
Does anyone know the maximum number of (one to one) relationships with cascading deletes a table can have?

Background:
I have a split database peer-to-peer application with ten simultaneous users, 250+ linked tables running on A2K, AXP and A03. MSDE and SQL Server are presently not viable options.

I'm unable to manually or programmatically relate one table to 73 others with referential cascade deletes; some of the 73 are related to still other tables. The one table is used as a recordsource on a subform on each of 73 different main forms, each of the latter having a different recordsource.

In other words, I want to delete a record in any of 73 different main forms, each with a unique table recordsource, and then cascade delete a subform record (which has the same table recordsource, regardless of the main form).

If I combined the 73 into a single table, I'd have a monster record with 500+ fields, assuming the latter is even possible, and in which event perfomance would suffer from excessive network traffic.

What I've tried:
I haven't worked this issue for some time and have forgotten the number of relationships for a single table I've been able to create. As I recall, it's on the order of 20 relationships maximum for one table.

Of course, I can do it programmatically delete the subform record on the OnDelete event of the main form, but, for elegance, I'd like to use a cascade delete.

Peer-to-peer network performance is not presently a problem.

Maximum Number Of Fields In Table

Dec 27, 2006

I have run into a problem with an ODBC table connection. The table I am connected to exceeds the number of fields allowed in an Access table. I am using Access 2003. When I looked on Microsoft help site I think the max number of fields in a recordset is 242 so I am unable to see all of the fields in the original table I am linking to. Does anyone know if this limitation has changed in the newest version of Access? I checked the Filemaker www site and that program does not have the same limitations. Thanks in advance for any help!

How To Retrieve Column Name That Contain Maximum Number

Apr 9, 2013

I have an Access database with a table that contains 11 fields. The first is a unique ID and the other 10 fields are various numbers. I need to know which of the 10 columns contains the highest number for each row and return the 2 rightmost characters of that column name. I started with the "maximum" function that I found on-line and it works to give me the maximum number in each row, but I need it modified to return the 2 rightmost characters of the column name that contains that number.

Code:
Function Maximum(ParamArray FieldArray() As Variant)
' Declare the two local variables.
Dim I As Integer
Dim currentVal As Variant
' Set the variable currentVal equal to the array of values.
