Hi there
I would like to build a database whereby when I create a new record it generates a new reference.
What I'd like is say the first record to be: SNN0001 and then when I create a new record the next record would be: SNN0002
How in the heck do I do this :confused:
Thanks for any help
Jools :D
use an account reference from one field in a table on a second table and add a number after it... e.g.
Table 1 Table 2
PEFA PEFA/001
PEFA PEFA/002
PEFA PEFA/003
PEFA PEFA/004
and so on...
I have made a database for a repair workshop, where you book in and book out repairs.
I am having a problem as we need to make a Dispatch Note daily with a list of all booked out repairs for that day and for that branch.
This is all working so far. However, we need to generate a reference number using AutoNumber (Wshop0001, Wshop0002, etc) and keep a record of this - how can this be done with keeping ONE reference number per day per branch?
I am new to access and am a bit stuck. I have a userform i want to populate once a reference number has been entered into a unbound textbox. How to create a macro that will pull the data out of my database?
View 10 Replies View RelatedSo I have a table tblPO2006 with a field PO that contains a number.
Currently I have 100 records and the curent number in this field is 10804
What i want to do is when a new record is created the field updates with a +1 increment to the previous records number.
Thus the new record would be 10805 and the next 10806 etc
I dont want to use autonumber... can someone point me in the write direction of code to do this.
thanks

Hi,
I would like how I can generate automatic Id in a table with following structure. billid number, billdate date& time.
I don't like to use AutoNumber built in feature.
Regards.
Soumen.
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.

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.
we use access database for printing lab reports. and a small graph is also printed on this report from another software(not an access application).
what i have done is that first we print the txt report from access and then use the same paper to print graph on it. I have alligned the report in such a way that these two reports fit perfectly.
we have to print twice and sometimes the graph is deleted in the other application, so we have to make the graph again.
what i want to do is:
1) prepare graph in the other application.
2) take a screenshot of it.
3) save this as an image file (jpg or bmp)
4) reference this picture in the access application and print it with the report.
So the problems are:
1) when i take a screenshot, how do i save it as a file,
2) how do i just get the area of the graph and remove all extra space. (usually all the other space is white as background)
Hi all!
I was wondering if you guys can help me out with this one:
I would like to have data auto-inserted from a particular colum in table 'x' in to a defined column in table 'y'. similary, I'd like to achieve auto-updation of this data as well as deletion. Can anyone please provide some guidelines?
A little more detail :
I have a column "Client ID" in the table client_personal_info, the rows of which I'd like to have updated in the "Client ID" column in the client_business_detail table.
So if say, ClientID_1 is a row that has been added by the user, I'd like to have it auto-inserted in the client ID column in the client_business_detail table
thanks in advance for your help
Access 2010 keeps changing the Capitalization of objects when I don't want it to.
For example "Cancel" becomes "cancel". Later it will be changed back to "Cancel".
There is also a table with a field "FULLNAME". Several Queries build a field "FullName". As a result FullName, even in places like Application. CodeProject.FullName get changed to Application.CodeProject.FULLNAME.
(Track Name AutoCorrect is off. ) It is especially irritating because I export the code to text files and check it into source control. Sometimes dozens, or even hundreds, of files will show up as changed because Access did it's rename thing.
Please help, how can I refer to the field of a subform in Visual Basic when the (main) form is open?
A)
Private Sub supplierID_AfterUpdate()
Forms![invoices]![KombináltLista4].Requery
End Sub
B)
Private Sub supplierID_AfterUpdate()
Forms![details1 Segédűrlap]![KombináltLista4].Requery
End Sub
These don't work. (The main form: INVOICES; the subform:DETAILS1 Segédűrlap; KombináltLista4 is the name of a combo box)
The version B work, when I open the form and the subform together, but of course I'd like to work only on the form (where the subform is displayed as well, but I can't refer to it...)

Can anyone help?
I need to change the reference "Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library" in Access 2000 with the "Microsoft Access 11.0 Object Library" but I can't de-select it 'cause it's used by the program. Another problem is that I tried to import the 11.0 copying the file and when I select it from the panel control it seems to import without problems, but when I search it in the list, the 11.0 doesn't exist.
How can I import it?

Hi, I have been designing a database on my computer which seems to be working fine; 2 more users in the company should be able to use the database.In order to see if everything was working properly on other computers, I have put a copy of my db on the server and tried to open it on the other users computer station. Unfortunately, the reference library that I have been updating during the design of the database doesn't seem to apply to the other computers. I have been trying to update it on the other machine but the references on the tool menu in open module is not available.
I didn't expect this to hapened and I am not sure what to do, what would be the apropriate method to make the library available to the other computers?

Hi,
I have an SDK that I normally use with VS.NET. I cannot seem to add the .dll as a Reference in my MS Access 2003 database. Is there something I am doing wrong, or a workaround to get it to work? I have .NET 3.0 installed on the PC.

I'm trying to achieve something that I'm sure someone has figured out long ago. I have a DB that currently only shows the zip code for certain records. Is there a way that I can have the DB take the current zipcode, reference a zip code table, and then return both the zip and city/state?
Thanks
Hi guys/gals
My primary key, RefNumber, is a sequentual Autonumber field. I want to creat my own Custommade autonumber field, but the catch is:
My autonumber field should have any of the following (selectable by the user from a combo box from a Form) attached in front of the number: DPR,DPZ,DFE,DGL,DMI,DGJ or DPE.
ie: the autonumber is at 14. The user selects DFE, but this is only the seconde choice made of DFE.
So the end product should be: RefNumber = 14
.........................................DistrictR efNumber = DFE2 or DFE002
Help please?
Thanks in advance
Hello, I have been struggling with this for a while, and I'm hoping I can get some help. The problem I have relates to three tables. I pulled the tables off to the side to show the current relationships between them; Please see attached.
Here is my setup. I created a form that has all the fields in tblEntry, and a combo box whose record source is [EmployeeID] in tblEmployees.
The problem, when the user selects from the combo box, I am getting an entry for the field [EmployeeID] in tblEntry, but I am not getting an entry for [CategoryID] from tblCategory. Basically, I want the user to be able to select one thing and to get two entries: [EmployeeID] and [CategoryID].
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
I have StartDate and EndDate fileds where I enter the date and time the employee starts and finishes his shift (in dddd dd mmmm yyyy hh:nn AM/PM format). However there is a penalty issue that starts at 7.00 PM.
How do I set up a non changing reference for 7.00 PM that I can reference to make a calculation.
For example I need to calculate penalties for when the employee works hours past 7.00 cutoff time.
I would appreciate any assistance to solve this problem

I am writing a query to calculate a running value, looking at the result of the line above and adjusting the running value in relation to new criteria. Make sense ?
For example
I have a number of dates which each have a value (a) against them dependant on the value in (a) I want to reward it in different ways and store the result in (b), I then want to look at (b) in the result of the above line in acessing how I will reward the next record.
Basically I want to read the value of the result of the line above when calculating the next line ? So it is basically cumulative through the query.
ps just found this forum so sorry for postiong a question first but any guidance appreciated.
