I'm having a problem with my autonumber. Whenever a new record is created, it increments the ID by 2, not by 1. So my frist 4 records are: 1,3,5,7 (not 0,1,2,3). As far as I've seen, I can't set the increment number to 1 (it seems to be defaulted to increment by 1 all the time). Anyone know anything about this problem?
View RepliesOn one of my forms the ID jumps from 35 to 2534. it is Autonumber and the new values are s'pose to be increments?
Does anybody know why this happens?
Thank u
Stacey
I have a table that has a primary key that does an autonumber in increments. Then I made some queries that will append records by date and then also another query that will delete what was appended. Then I created a reverse sequence of this process in case I change my mind and would like to put back the records I archived, however, when I do this, the primary key is now thrown off and will still revert to the last primary key that was appended before the archive ever took place. In other words it still thinks that the records I appended before I did the reverse, are still there. So now it will not let me save the record because it is a duplicate.
Is there a way to set the autonumber for the primary key to where I want it to begin?
Haven't been able to find an answer to this one. I have a subform that is related to the main form by order number. In the subform, user will enter qty received for a po. Because we may not receive entire quantity for po at once, we need to add a number or letter to the end of the order number to indicate more than one received qty. So order number 1234 would be 1234-1 for first quantity, then 1234-2 for second qty. Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks for any help. I am using Access 2000.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIm trying to create a loop that searches through a table and increments a variable every time it finds a record with a specific field set to a specific value. Below is the code but its not working. I then use the variable for another field.This is used in a form btw.

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.
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
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
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.

How do I assign an autonumber to a table after the table is created. I know it ask after you create a table, but I answered no. Now I want it to assign each record an autonumber?
Thanks
Hi:
In the table,
I set ID (auto number),
How large the number? What is the limit number?
After it used, will it set back to 1 again?
Please let me know, thanks
Thanks a lot. Thanks.
Can any body help please
Is there any way you could renumber the autonumber, I have deleted some records in my table and the numbering orders have a gap and I would like the numbers to rearange automatically as the record or records are deleted.
Thank you.
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 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.
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!
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.

I know you can have Access create an Auto-number field when you make a table....
Is there any way (via. code, or gui) to create an auto-number field within a query?
Thanks,
Gary

I ahve 2 pages, one is a form and the other adds records to a database and prints the result out on the page which all work fine.
My problem is that I am unable to retrieve the autonumber created in the database and also display that.
Attached is my code and db, if anyone can help i would be very grateful.
Thanks
IanWillo.
is there anyway i can edit data in autonumber, or work around?
thanks
The record I was using as a key changed from an incremental to a random number. When I try to change it it won't allow me. I created a new project and imported the tables from the old one but all the attributes followed.
Short of starting from scratch, what can I do to change back to incremental autonumbering.
I am creating a database for my company to register projects. And each project needs to have a unique Project ID number, which (due to the conformity of another software tool) must be 4 characters long. The first character is a specific letter based on the group the project is created by, followed by a 3 digit number. So, for example, one of the group code letters is C, so the first "C Project" would have the ID 'C001'.
I want my database to assign these automatically after selecting the group.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I have a autonumber function in my form, but i have deleted all the records and want to start again but the autonumber has not reset back to 1, is there a way to do this??
Thanks in advance.
I have an access database that I have used autonumber to assign order numbers for several years. I am now wanting to split the database and it is causing a problem with the order numbers. My situation is different than other posts because I delete orders from the table when I assign serial numbers, but I still do not want to use that order number.
Example:
Enter order number 1000
Enter order number 1001
Assign a serial number to Order 1001 and delete that record.
Enter a new order, need order number to be 1002
Because I delete 1001 but still do not want to use 1001, I can't use any max number function that I've seen in some other posts.
Could I make a table to somehow keep track of the next order number. I am not very knowledgeable about access so please bear with me.
Hi
I have genreated an autonumber in my table, at this is used as key. after importing 135 records it starts to jump 48 records before it creates a new. This means that with every record i import after 135 i have a space of 48 between each. So what sort of thing can cause this? and even better how do i fix it?
Best Regard
Roald
