Autonumber Relationship Help

Nov 9, 2007

Hi Everyone,
I have a database with several relationships based on an autonumber, My problem is that the data was being entered on several different copys of the same database and now I need to bring all of that information into one database. All of my fields re linked with an autonumber#. I manager to get all of this information correct by manualy matching the fields and numbers. So it all has the correct information. My only problem now is that in order for me to do that I had to change the primary keys from autonumbers to normla numbers so that I could change the values. Is there anyway to set it back to an auto number? Or is there a code I can use for it to manualy add in a new nuumber from now on each time I enter a new record? I guess what im asking is can I change a populated number field back to an autonumber somehow? If not Is the Dmax function my only option for getting unique values to populate in these tables? Thanks.

Relationship Using An Autonumber Field

Apr 3, 2006

What am I doing wrong that I cannot get this to work?

I have a table with Patient Details - the Primary key being called PatientID and this is an Autonumber.

I then have a table called Episode Details. I want them to be linked via the PatientID. When I set up the forms however, it won't work.(Relationship PatientID - PatientID one to many)

I think it is something to do with the Autonumber but can't work out what...

Controlling Autonumber Field - Start Autonumber From 1 Everyday (Composite Key)

Nov 21, 2013

I have two tables linked to each other in one to many relationship. Instead of auto number, the date and shift (Text) is being used as the primary keys (Composite Primary Key). Here is the tables structures,

Payouts Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night) : Primary Key

Bills Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night): Primary Key
Autonumber: Primary Key

The tables Payouts and Bills has one to many relationship. One payout row can have many bills. The problem is that I want to start the Autonumber in bills table everyday from 1. As date and shift are different for every day so even if i start bills from 1 everyday, it wont make same primary key. I can do it manually but I want to make it automatically.

AutoNumber

Apr 20, 2006

Hello,

I have a question. I would like to be able to have an autonumber in the main form be applied to text boxes on the subform. So If I enter a name in the main form, an autonumber is generated, then that number is automatically entered into the boxes in my subform. My subform is a datasheet view with many records. I want all the records to have the autonumber generated in the main form. Is there a way to do this. Currently I have the boxes in the subform retrieve the autonumber by setting it equal to the autonumber text box on the main form. I would think that there would be an easier way to accomplish this seemingly simple task.

Thanks,

Adam

Autonumber

Feb 26, 2005

hello,
I am using SQL INSERT INTO where I insert values from my form Me!value1 etc
I have an autonumber in the table where I am using INSERT INTO, and when I exclude the autonumber it says that the number of columns does not match. I tried assigning a number manually in SQL and it works fine, but I can't use autonumber anymore. Is there a way to use autonumber and still do INSERT INTO or is there a way I can find the highest number and put the next highest in there through VBA?

Thanks in advance

ID Autonumber Gets Set As 5E+08

Mar 7, 2005

In the main table of my d/base (just testing) - when a new record is entered using a form, the Autonumber Key ID becomes 5E+08.

Whats that imply ? There are some One-To-Many sub tables running off the main table, but I can't see how they could cause a problem.

Autonumber

Jun 2, 2006

Hello everybody,

I have a problem which I couldn't solve.
I have two tables. There're relationships is one to many (1:N).
The first one is Order and the other one is OrderItems.
Order(order_ID,...) and OrderItems(order_ID, lineitem,...).
The compound key of the relation OrderItems is order_ID and lineitem). What I exactly want? I want for every new Order_ID to have restarting count of lineitem.

example:

Order_ID, LineItem
1 1
1 2
1 3

Order_ID, LineItem
2 1
2 2
2 3

Thanks in advance.

I Want To Add An Autonumber To...

Jan 11, 2007

I have a fairly small database I recently built that includes a particular table in which I meant for the primary key to be an Autonumber field. Apparently I forgot to set it this way and it currently sits as just a Number field. There are nine tables in this database with a couple hundred records in the main tables.

Is it possible to change this field to an Autonumber at this point? I have attempted to change it and it wants me to remove all the relationships. It also seems to be necessary to copy all the records out before reseting and then copy them all back in or it will not let me proceed.

Will doing it this way work? Is there a better way to do it? Please advise. Thanks.

Add Autonumber

Jun 5, 2007

Apologies if this has been asked before:

I have a small table in access 2003 with autonumbers. I managed to delete two records by mistake (autonumbers 23 & 24).

Is there any way to add them back in?? It is important as these numbers have been specific to those records for a couple of years.

Thanks in advance!

AutoNumber ?

Jan 8, 2008

Good Morning,
Is it possible to have an autonumber field start at a given number, say 9999999 and count backwards?

I have a program that is generating badge ID numbers but I have a bunch that already exist and going backwards seems like the easiest way to mesh the 2.

Relationship??

Jan 14, 2006

Hi All,
I am new to access and this forum, so hello all.

I am trying to build a database to keep records of my bird sightings. As you might have surmised; I am a birder.

I have come to a holt on creating a complex relationship between the Bird Entry From and the table that contains a list of British birds.

In Bird Entry From two of the fields are for entry of the bird name, one field being the Common Name and the other being the Latin Name. They are both drop down lists that contain all the birds from the table, this being done by import data. The table that holds the bird list has two fields One is called Common Name and the other is called Latin Name, this being the same as the filed names in question in the Bird Entry From

This is where I am coming unstuck. What I would like to happen is that when I enter a bird in the Common Name field (either by typing until the bird is auto entered from the drop down or using the drop down to find the bird) it automatically enters the Latin name in the Latin Name field and visa-versa, but I have become very frustrated with trying to do this.

Am I wasting my time? Or is it possible? And if so would anyone be kind enough to tell me how?

Many thanks,

Simon.

Relationship Help Please

Aug 14, 2005

As you all know Im not a expert on databases but work in a volunteer basis in a small community area where we have no money for people to do anything for us.
Im proud because I did the other database and its up and working but this one has got me beat.
Im setting up one for the volunteers, which has computer knowledge, any basic training they need, when they are available and what tasks have been set for them.
I need to have a one form which has just their personal details but to be able to put in data on the other forms and it will link back to the volunteers name.
Ive attached what Ive done and Im sure your all going to laugh - but any help would be appreciated

Many To One Relationship (I Think...)

Aug 19, 2005

Trying to set up a fairly simple DB. Here is the layout:

tblRoom(roomID, roomNumber, rackOne, rackTwo, rackThree)
tblStudent(studentID, name)

Each student will be assigned to one, and only one, rack. There will be 3 students to one room. One student can only have one room but a room can have many students... I store studentID in the rackOne, Two and Three fields. My problem is when I try and querry for the information so as to display actual names rather than ID's. I'm not sure If my querry is the problem or if I've set the tables up incorrectly. Any insight is much appreciated.

Relationship Help

Aug 30, 2005

Hello,

I'm having some problems setting this up right.

I have 3 databases.

Volunteers

FIRST
LAST NAME both primary

Movie Data

MOVIE
DATEboth primary

Attendance

MOVIE
DATE

USHER 1 First
Usher 1 LAST

USHER 2 FIRST
USHER 2 LAST

AUTOKEY PRIMARY

I have a one to many relationship between the movie and date between the attendance and movie data table. I have tried linking the name to the usher fields but I"m not getting the result I want. I want to be able to open up the volunteer table and have it show me the movies they have worked on. The movie data table will list who worked it, but the volunteer tables are not.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Cody
