Autonumber With A Twist
Apr 28, 2005
I have searched the autonumber questions on this site but did not find quite what I need. I did however pick up lots of ideas for other areas of my db. My database is a serial number assignment database. I have 90 models and I have them set up like this: 1444RTR (model) 101 (starting serial number) and E4 (the model's mfg code). I need to be able to select a model and the next available number for that model appear in my form. It should also be saved to the serial number field in my table. I have not figured out how to return results for a particular model. I have been trying to figure this out for awhile and it is probably something simple I am missing.

I have read, mostly understood, and abandoned most of the KB and WWF suggestions on using images in forms. I am _this_ close to having it my way, but I can't seem to get there.
The paper form I am emulating has a medical diagram of the human body, and the interviewer circles, crosses, or otherwise marks a particular part (say head or foot) that the interviewee indicates is giving him/her pain. In order to do this on a form, I need to load a blank medical image into a field, and let the interviewer edit the image as they would on paper, by leaving cirlcles or X's.
One of the Northwind examples uses embedded images in an OLE field, and when I double-click the image is brought up in 'Paint', and I can edit. Close to what I want. I can also copy the employee photo from one record to a new record, and still edit. Closer yet. But when I try to put in a new image, I'm back to the icon-with-file-name, or 'package', or varous other ways of not seeing a picture.
Has anybody had success with this yet?
Thanks
Matt

Hi,
Been reading the forums for a while now. Thanks to all you knowledgable people out there! Been a huge help in learning this program.
Here's a question that stumped me...
I have a table that is about 90,600 entries long with 4 fields per record.
Now here's the issue:
Approximately 25,000 of these entries are duplicates - based upon TWO of the fields.
SO we have:
Field1 Field2 Field3 EntryDateField
if Field1 and Field2 Match, I want to delete the record that has the OLDER entry date.
any ideas how I might accomplish this?
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.

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.

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.

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?

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
