Autonumber + Column Value
Apr 25, 2005Hi,
I am trying to create a primary key attribute which uses autonumber but takes its first 5 characters from another attribute in the same table and then assigns an incemental autonumber after it.
For example:
CompanyName+Autonumber
Strawberrysoup + 001 = Straw001
Does anyone have any ideas - this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Aug 15, 2007Hi,
Its good to be back after a long time. Hope everyones fine.
I have a query and would appreciate any help.
I have a master-table (tblM) and two related tables (tbl1, tbl2) with one-to-one relation.
Relation1 : tblM.ID (autonumber) related to tbl1.caseID (number;LongInteger)
Relation2 : tblM.ID (autonumber) related to tbl2.caseID (number;LongInteger)
Relations are cascaded (referential integrity imposed).
I import data from excel and feed fields of tblM (I dont feed ID field from excel as it generates autonumber). At a time I feed 150 records (daily).
I have a front-end based on query from three underlying tables. Data-entry-operators do not work on tblM data as it is readonly in the front-end. They enter data in the tbl1 and tbl2 columns.
I noticed as they start entering data in tbl1 columns, the tbl1.caseID column gets data from tblM.ID on its own. Same happens in the case of tbl2.
My observation is :
I find that tblM.ID is not equal to the number of records available in tblM. (ie tblM.ID is more/less than number of records in the table. So the tblM.ID generated is not in serial.
Next time as I start importing data from excel file to tblM it gives me error and not allowing further import.
Any help!
Thanks and regards,

View 7 Replies View RelatedTables :: How To Recreate AutoNumber Column With Values Assigned
Nov 19, 2013I am using a form based on a table in MS Access 2010 for data entry.
The Data Type for column ID is AutoNumber with Increment=1. When I found ID for recent entries gets an anomaly (e.g. should be ... 3, 4, 5 ..., but it shows ... 3, 5, 6 ... that misses 4), I tried to refresh/change the ID column with the following steps:
1). Change the Data Type for column ID from AutoNumber to Number
2). Add a new column IDD and set its Data Type as AutoNumber
3). Delete the original column ID
4). Change column name IDD into column name ID
However, I got a problem with step 2): here the order # for the records becomes messed up, e.g.
Should be:
ID IDD
1 1
2 2
3 3
5 4
6 5
7 6
... ...
But, I got:
ID IDD
1 3
2 4
3 5
5 1
6 2
7 6
... ...
Why? Is this caused by the relationships between this table and other tables?

The error is because the second layer of query does not identifies Q1 2014.

View 3 Replies View RelatedControlling Autonumber Field - Start Autonumber From 1 Everyday (Composite Key)
Nov 21, 2013I 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.

Adding 'Autonumber' To Query On The Fly.
Jun 21, 2007Hi all,
I have this select query that pulls out the last 13 distinct values in in descending order from a table. However in order for me to play with these values I need an ID number and ideally i'd like to do this on the fly rather then do a make table and then use that.
Is there any way of adding a 'autonumber' column to a select query on the fly in so that it can be used as reference ?
Thanks in advance,
Mitch...

Apr 18, 2006Hi,
example:
SELECT tblFalls.Guest_Name, [Account_Number], Count(tblFalls.Account_Number) AS Falls
FROM tblFalls
GROUP BY [Account_Number], [Guest_Name];
Gives me:
Smith, Joe; M698, 1
Blinke, Frank; M686, 2
Neal, Bobbie; M648, 1
I need ot to give me,
1, Smith, Joe; M698, 1
2, Blinke, Frank; M686, 2
3, Neal, Bobbie; M648, 1
each time i run the query i need to list that guests, their number of falls and assign each unique guest a number starting with 1 on up...
How?
yes, yes, i know how to do it in a report, but I need right now to be able to do it in a query alone.. anyone?
I tried:
SELECT Sum(1+), Guest_Name, Account_Number, Count(Account_Number) AS [Falls]
FROM tblFalls
GROUP BY Account_Number, Guest_Name;
=p no luck.. though it looks neat.
I also tried writing a function
Public Function GetQryNum() As Integer
If IsNull(gQryNum) Or gQryNum < 1 Then
gQryNum = 1
GetQryNum = gQryNum
Else
gQryNum = gQryNum + gQryNum
GetQryNum = gQryNum
End If
End Function
SELECT GetQryNum() AS GuestIndex, Guest_Name, Account_Number, Count(Account_Number) AS [Falls]
FROM tblFalls
GROUP BY Account_Number, Guest_Name;
But all i get is a '1' in every row.
Any ideas?
Fake An Autonumber Field In A Maketable Query
Jul 15, 2006Hi Guys,
8 posts on the subject over a number of years and the answer seems to have been no, you can't have an auto number field in a maketable query.
Is there any reasonable way to create a sequential count of the records shown in the maketable query, not the underlying records?
Background:
I have a maketable query that selects fields from 2 tables which are ordered in a specific way. The sigma button is clicked to reduce this recordset to unique entries and this is what goes into the created table.
This newly created table is a row heading for a pivot table query and I want it ordered by the method used in the query. An autonumber or some method of counting/incrementing the records would do the trick.
I am currently creating the table and then adding the Autonumber field manually, which is hardly a solution at all. :confused:
An afterthought before I post: The reason I want the autonumber field is that the pivot table shows the records in alphabetical order rather than the order the table holds the records. Is there any way of forcing the pivot table to use the records as ordered in the table. A note of caution here, I get very confused when dabbling with pivot tables. :eek:
Any thoughts/solutions welcomed. And if I'm asking the wrong question, let me know! :)
Problem With Append Query And Autonumber Field
May 1, 2008Hi everybody,
I am appending the information I have in one table to another. The first table's name is Videos and it only has 5 records. When I append the information from the other table which has some of the fields of the Videos table (but doesn't have a primary key), the new records in the Videos table have as primary key value (the autonumber field) values that start from 44699657. Why is this happening?
Queries :: Sort Order In Query Based On ID (Autonumber)
Sep 10, 2013This is something I occasionally see in Access and has been bugging me for quite a while.
As an example, when I have a table (all text fields except for the ID field which is an Autonumber with a unique index - ie just what Access creates when you import data) and I try to make a new table from a query by indexing the Autonumber field in descending order (ie to reverse the order of the table), it doesn't work properly.
So if I have:
SELECT [mytable].* INTO [mytable sorted] FROM [mytable] ORDER BY [mytable].[ID] DESC;
When I preview the data (ie run the select query to have a look at it), it looks fine.
When I change the query to a 'Make Table' and I then I check the table it makes, the order changes part-way down the list, so looking at the ID field it runs from number 2669 down to 2087 correctly, then it goes from 1960 to 1956, then 1803 to 1799, then 1751 to 1747, etc etc etc. After a while it seems to correct itself again, and orders normally down to #1
I'm using Access 2002.

Populating A Column In A Table Based On Values In An Existing Column
Mar 5, 2007Hi all,
In the organisation that I work for employees get paid every 2 weeks on a Saturday. So for this financial year the pay period end dates have been 08/07/2006, 22/07/2006, 05/08/2006 etc
I have a column in an Access table listing various dates. I want the next column to be
populated with the next pay period end date after that date.
So if DATE is 05/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 08/07/2006
and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc
How do I do this?
Kind Regards,
Matthew
Modules & VBA :: Input String In Column Based On Data In Another Column?
Nov 30, 2014I need to input a string into a column named "EventType". The code should first check if the column "Agent Name" contains any strings. If there is none, it will input "IBM Director" into the EventType column.
Once it has looped through the agent names, the code will then loop through the Details column and input into EventTypes based on what is displayed within the string.
These are the codes that I am using to achieve this, however nothing is being input into the EventType column.
Code:
Private Sub Command11_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Final")
[Code] ....
I think the problem lies with the code that checks the agent name. When I removed it, it managed to populate the EventType column based on the details. But I still need to find out how to check the agent name too.

Can I Use A Column As Query?
Feb 26, 2007Is it possible to use a column as query?
Normally, with a multiselectquery you type in several criteria(postal code) like;
3311 aa
1245 bb
1234 bc
which is all very well, but what if you have 100 postal codes (dutch postal codes and without a logical order). In this case it would be nice if you could use a table with one column (the postal codes) to use as criteria.
