Automatic Sequencing - Can Access Do This?
Dec 7, 2007
Hi all,
We have a database here at work where we keep records of client marketing campaign materials, which lets us know when said materials have gone to print and such. The problem is that we've always had to type in the client info manually because none of us can seem to find a way to automatically update new client info in sequential order. We have to keep a list of the clients as well as the alphabetical code they've been assigned to, which has become very problematic, since everyone is not on the same page. I'll show you what I mean - below is an example of client names and the codes they've been assigned to:
(Existing client)Cleary - AFB
(New client) Greenville - AFC
(New client) UAW-DC - AFD
And so on....
If anyone could help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks for listening.

I have a kind of peculiar sequencing issue with a query. I have several machine designations:
A1
A2
A3
....
A10
A11
A13
B1
B2
etc.
but the last group is designated as right or left...in other words
C1R
C1L
C2R
C2L
...
I am trying to get the query to put them in order such that they appear as:
A1
A2
...
A10
A11
A12
A13
...
C1L
C1R
C2L
C2R
This requires breaking the first letter out, sequencing it and then doing the same for the other part(s). The first letter sequencing works fine but I can't seem to get the second part right. For the 1-13 designations, I am multiplying it by 1 in order to convert it to a number and thus make it sequence correctly. This worked before I had to add the R and L designations. Now it doesn't. Here is the statement I'm using for the second sequncing portion in the query:
IIf(Left([Machine],1)="C",Mid([Machine],2,2),Mid([Machine],2,2)*1)
It doesn't seem to convert the 1-13 over to numbers and is sequencing as if they are text, meaning it's coming out A1, A10, A11, A12, A13, A2, .... Is the query limited to one data type as an output to an expression or something?

In a query I need the ability to cycle two alphabet characters in sequence. First pass is "AA", next is "AB" etc. After "AZ" it would cylce to "BA". After "ZZ" it would return to "AA" and repeat the sequence again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Lets say you have a table with an AutoNumber field.You populate it with 100 records.You delete the last 10 records (91-100)Now, I certainly know you can refresh the AutoNumber sequencing by compacting the database so the next record entered is 91.
My question is about NOT refreshing the AutoNumber sequencing.Lets say you DO NOT COMPACT and DO NOT refresh the AutoNumber Sequence.So, in that scenario, after deleting records 91-100 from the table, is there any programmatic way to determine that the next actual AutoNumber for that table will be 101?

I have a RN generator that looks at 9 different lanes and puts in a number based off of a certain criteria but I was wondering if in the frmLanes the actual "Go" button was an incoming number how could I get my current random number generator to look at that number and determine if the current number is within 5 of the "go" number?
Any way to have a beginning number that I would enter into a text box and have the number generator kick off based off of that number. I have included a copy of my db for viewing.

I have a table/form that has name, a specific date, and an email address. I would like that when the specified date matches the current date, it will automatically send an email to the address specified with a pre-built message. Is this possible? If so, how?
Thank you.

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to automatically shut down Access after a given amount of time?
I have an Access application that runs across a network. Access is the front end of a SQL Server 2000 database.
Some of the users forget to close their application at night when they leave for the day. When I come in in the mornings, I like to run the Compact and Repair, but can't because someone is still logged in. So then I have to go to each and every computer to see if they are still logged in. By the time I vist each computer, the morning is almost started and people ARE logging in for the day.
So I'm hoping to find an application that will automatically either log each computer off across the network, or that will log the application off of each individual computer after a given amount of inactivity.
Thanks for your help...

I have the column "price" which shows the total amount, another one called "money paid" which shows how much of the total amount they have paid so far and the third is "money owed" which is the difference that i want to be calculated automatically.
Do you know any way to do this??

I have an excel sheets with tables (Numbers). I have inserted this excel files into PPT. I have a button on my page. I have linked the PPT path to that buttom (using hyperlink). So, when I click the button the PPT which contains the excel charts is opening (this is good so far)The data in excel sheet is used by many people and they can change it.
When in Access the ppt is opened then it's showing the old data but not the new modified data. (We are right clicking on the ppt table and then updating the links)We just don't want to do that as we have lot of tables in PPT.when we open a ppt via access then it should automatically update itself in the backend and should open with the new values.

I have a table in Access with a field End Date with couple of other fields like Company Name and Description associated with the End Date as one record. In other words, one record has fields Company Name, Description and End Date.how could I get Access trigger an email automatically to a set of people let's say a month before the End Date is approaching. If the End Date is 30/4/2015, I would need Access to be triggering an email to the recipients on 30/3/2015.

I need to import 15 csv files into access every month. I have location of all those files listed in a table in the same access DB but i'm not sure how to incorporate them in a macro I have written to import one of those files:
Function Macro_TransferCsvFileTo_RatesTradeData()
On Error GoTo Macro_TransferCsvFileTo_RatesData_Err
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "Import_Spec_tbl_RatesData", "tbl_RatesData", "c:Documents and SettingsaggauraDesktopWIPXMLDB_JOH_FI_2011123 0.csv", True, ""
[Code] ....
where c:Documents and SettingsaggauraDesktopWIPXMLDB_JOH_FI_2011123 0.csv is the file name I want to be replaced by each of the file listed by me in the other access table.

I created a Tracking System and would like to send an automatic reminder to the person the ticket has been assigned to, using the due date and the text message in the field "reminder message". Once the message send, I want the database to recognize and not send it again. I want the database to send a new message if the due date has changed.

I'm trying to use Access to send an automatic email reply upon receiving a request from a customer/employee, telling them that their request has been received and this is the tracking number and the due date of service completion. How can I do that? And I want it using Outlook because all the contacts are saved in Outlook and all emails sent and received through Outlook. And the version is Access 2010.

When I import a column from Excel into a new table in Access using the Docmd.transferspreadsheet function, Access automatically assigns a field name of "F1"; and if I try to import a range of columns (Eg A1:B10), then Access saves them into a table with 2 columns with field names "F1" and "F2". The table is created as part of the Docmd function, and so I don't have control over the field names.
Is this going to always be the case? Can I depend on Access to always use this naming convention? Because I am about to start writing more code that will depend on these field names.

Just wanted to confirm which is the best way to create an automatic back up of a access DB. (Split DB, backing up the BE - Access2010)
Firstly I was thinking of just creating a batch file to copy the file to a new source directly with a task scheduler set up.
Ideally I'd like it to run daily and have the date of the back up added to the end of the filepath.

I am in the process of development of a database and one of the functionality that I would like to achieve is a custom ID to become automatic on my 'ADD-CUSTOMER' form (e.g. CID0001 - CID0002) so on an so forth. From my research all I can see in access 2010 is a autonumber which cannot be altered (or at least i don't know how).

I am tying to create a setup application in access. The setup forms are incorporated in the database application.It has to split my database into a FE and BE so that the corresponding files can be placed in thier corresponding files folders automatically.
Iam doing this because the database has to be exported to a number of remote locations every after two weeks.
Apart from using the Database Splitter, Could there be any Ideas on how i can split and link my database through code.

I am using DMax function for my custom autonumber
I just realized that when using this in a multi user environment, I am getting duplications.
This field is not the primary key, and I am using this as a group ID and cannot set it to “no duplications”
My form also has a sub form, and when entering the sub form, the main record gets saved automatically.
First I added the following procedure
Private Sub Form_AfterInsert()
If IsNull(Me.OrderNo) Then
Me. OrderNo = DMax("OrderNo ", "tblOrder") + 1
End If
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
If IsNull(Me.OrderNo) Then
Me. OrderNo = DMax("OrderNo ", "tblOrder") + 1
End If
However, I then realized the after insert function will add the new autonumber to the form. However, it will not saved it to the table until the main record is saved again (which may not happen)
“DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord” doesn’t seems to be working after the “Form_AfterInsert”
Now I moved the code to the “Form_BeforeUpdate” (still testing)
Does anyone have any experience on this problem?
Thank you
Joe

Our small newspaper needs to create a database of subscribers from which we can print labels in what the post office calls "Walk Sort" order, the order in which the mail carrier hand delivers the mail on his route. The number associated with a particular subscriber is not fixed because if another subscriber is added on that mail carriers route, it may fall between two existing entries. So the Walk Sort field needs to automatically renumber up or down when an entry is added or deleted. I will use that field to sort chronologically and print form feed labels.
I've figured out a way to do this in Excel, but I think Access might be a better program to use for this database. My question is, can Access automatically renumber a Walk Sort field if I add or remove entries? If so, how do I set it up to do that?
P.S. I haven't used Access for quite some time, and I wasn't very proficient with it then. :o

Hello everybody,
I have many front end's (using ACCESS 2007 runtime version) in different terminals. Suppose that from 'terminalA', I am assigning a task to an employee who's using 'terminalB'. The user is already looged on to the program by this time, so I want that 'task' to appear on his terminal without him having to press the 'Refresh' button (that I placed on the form) every time I give him a new task when he's logged on so he could see it. How would I do this?
Thank you very much.
