I created a database for my parents last summer and it has worked perfectly for a year now, then all of a sudden when they try to add an entry to the database its saying that it can't because it will create a new field.
Turns out my parents have added 45000 entries and it has just randomly reset the autonumber and is trying to add new entries at 25000, now my parents company is in a gridlock till I can figure out what the heck access did!
The autonumber is only used when I need update or delete entries.
I have a table <Table1> with field <Cust_ID> with datatype <Autonumber, LongInteger,Increment>. It means that as new record is entered each Cust_ID is auto-generated with incrementing number (that is not fraction). Now, I want to create a field that will generate incrementing fractional AutoNumber as I go on adding new record. (e.g. 1st record: Cust_ID = 1.00000001, 2nd record: Cust_ID: 1.00000002, 3rd record Cust_ID: 1.00000003)
Any help is appreciated. Thanx in advance. Prodigy.
So 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.
I use access 2000 (french) and runtime access 2000 (english) on XP. After upgrading workstations with last microsoft security patchs, the use of left, mid or right functions in queries doesn't work anymore. We know now that the patch acted on MDAC, is it the answer? I don't know how to make it work.
Up until yesterday afternoon, I was having no trouble adding a command button, but then all of a sudden I was unable to do this.
I'm in the design view of a form, and then using the toolbox, I add a command button. The square button appears on the form, but the dialogue box that walks me through what I want it to do no longer does.
I don't not have much experience with data bases. I made a simple form for service calls with a drop down box for our "Customer" field. I edit the Customer drop down list as I enter new calls. I can no longer add new customers. Is there a limit set somewhere? Or maybe I mistakenly enabled some kind of protection?
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,
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.

Hi everyone, My name is Stuart and I am from the North east of England. I am a total beginner in using access. I am a bird of prey conservationist involved in numerous breeding projects for endangered species of raptors. Currently I am looking to set up a breeding programme which will involve a daily report log involving diet, weight, activities, equipment used, etc, etc.
What I want to do is create a table whereby each day I create a new form with its own unique incrementing reference number. Say I create a form today and it is recorded as 000001. Later on today I may create another form with all of the same information fields but with varying levels of information. I want that second form to be recorded as 000002. Tomorrow I may create a third which is 000003.
Is this a process that can be created in access and if so would you know how to do it? I would greatly appreciate your help if you could, please.
I have a table within which I store data showing the results of tests. I wish to create a certificate(as a report) which displays these results. The certificate should have a unique number which is then stored with the original record within the original table, called 'Sample Results' I have created an append query(CertDetailsQuery) to pull the appropriate date into another table(CertDetails), using criteria etc, however I am struggling with the creation of a field which creates the unique reference for the certificate. I have tried autonumbering inthe "CertDetails" table but this gives a unique number for each record selected by the append query, whereas I want each record selected to have the same reference (as they will be on the same certificate together). I hope this is clear, help if you can,
I am adding two records to an empty table using an append query (or make table query). I would like the first record to have 1 in the ID field and the second to have 2. I will then delete 2, append 1 elsewhere and empty the table and start over again.
Any suggestions? It needs to be 1 and 2 each time not just an autonumber.
I have a database created that is used to catalog different projects. When the user adds a new record and that project is already in the database it gives the user a message stating that that project already exists. It gives the option of cancelling and goes back so the user can name it something different. Or the user can continue and it creates a duplicate copy.
Instead of creating a duplicate copy, I want it to increment a number field named [Duplicates] by 1.
Example: If project 'A' is already in the database and the user adds it again it increments the duplicate field by one. So now the properties of project 'A' shows that there is 1 duplicate. Does that make sense?
Here's my duplicate code so far:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim Response As Integer
If Not IsNull((DLookup("Project_Name", "Development_Projects", "[Project Name]= '" & Me.Project_Name & "'"))) Then Response = MsgBox("That Project already exists" & vbCr & vbCr & "Select Yes to duplicate record, No to cancel.", vbCritical + _ vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Duplicate Data")
If Response = vbYes Then [Duplicate] = [Duplicate + 1] Exit Sub Else Cancel = True End If End If
Hi, I am reasonably new to access and i am having a little trouble with what i would expect to be a simple problem to fix.
What i am trying to do is this... I have a table set up to work with an asp web page. each record in the table has a unique ID which is set to autonumber. I also have a field which hold the URL of an image used in the asp file. The address remains the same for all of the records except that the file name it points to increments by one each time. example: the record ID is 173 and the file address is: http://www.berkeley.tv/thumbnails/thumb_173.jpg
Basically, if i could automatically take the ID number and enter it after 'thumb_' it would all work fine.
I have this bit of code in a routine. CustNum is a Numeric field with a number I need to increase by one With the code below It comes always as 1
Set Db = CurrentDb Set rs = Db.OpenRecordset("Miracle_Cloth_Main", dbOpenDynaset) On Error Resume Next rs.AddNew rs!Name = NewData rs!Cust_ID = NewData rs!CustNum = [CustNum] + 1 rs.Update rs.Move 0, rs.LastModified ' Go to new record 'Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark ' Go to new record 'rs.Close
I am endeavoring to develop a set of tables and forms to control a fireworks display. Here is my problem Master form hold display data (IE Location and date) and customer info (no problems here) the sub form holds the the products and how they are fired. This is my problem This form shows several fields Auto number for key field, number for child link (Display ID), number for data, number for data, text and the next is also number (This field needs to be consecutively numbered for each display) therefor on setting the form property to open as new form (Display)the first row of the record set begins with the first shot. How can I code the procedure and what property of the control box should be used.
I have a field called EmployeeID, and it has text as data type. The format that I wanted to use for entering an EmployeeID was D01, then the next would be D02, etc. Is it possible so that when a user enters all details of one employee and wants to create a record for a new employee that the EmployeeID will be automatically incremented. Does anyone know any VBA code which I can use to to do this? Or should I just use an input mask? Thanks
The user wants all of the records in the database to have continuous numbering. I have used AutoNumber in the past but if you delete a record, it produces gaps in the numbering.
I was wondering if there is a way to number the records so they are always numbered continuously (1,2,3,etc.) even if some record is deleted.
I have tried using the following:
Set db = CurrentDb() Set recordlist = db.Openrecordset("SELECT Max(tblContactHistory.ItemID) AS MaxID FROM tblContactHistory")
ItemID = (recordlist!MaxID + 1)
recordlist.Close Set recordlist = Nothing
but I still cannot get the records to have continuous numbering after a record is deleted.
I wan to create a table with a date / time starting at a specific time and then added a number of records with each record being a minute later than the first.
The starting point could be hard coded or by user entry and the loop would run for a certain number of times .....
Any ideas on how to do it ..... poss a macro :confused:
Hope you can help, I have been looking on the forum but with no luck. I am trying to design an append query that adds any number of records to another table but need one of the fields to increment by one for each record, so for example;
I append 10 records and the other field increments from 060,061,062 etc for each record
I have data in a table I am extracting using an append Query, I wish to assign a number from the original table +1 to the records pulled by the append query. I am very new to this and have the expression below, however the result is #error in created field CertifNumber The data I am looking for is in table Sample Details and the Field is CertNo
I want my db to generate our reference # automatically based on input from other fields. The number is the date record entered, the users initials, and an incremental number. Ex. 120505GMM02
My form is based on a query and I have the query generating the first two components from the date entered in reqdate and the initials entered. How can I get an incremental number generated to go with the rest.
The number should start with 01 for each day and also for each user. Therefore when GMM is entering his third record on the 5th it should generate 120505GMM03 even if there were 10 other records entered on the fifth by other users. Each users numbers would start at 01 for each day.
I asked this earlier but thought I would restate my question in hopes of getting my thoughts around this. I appreciate your patience with me.
Here's my problem. I have a table that is for maintenance jobs that recur on a fixed schedule, i.e. cleaning gutters yearly. I need to run an append query that will take all the information and cause it to recur a given number of times. I've gotten that to work with just a standard append query pulling data from a form.
The part I'm having trouble with is this. I need to get that append query to take the start date for the job and increment it properly based on my selection of daily/monthly/yearly recurrence for each individual occurance of the job.
