Autonumber With Customized Prefix
Dec 28, 2004
Ok...I've looked at old threads and now I'm more confused than before.
I'm trying to find a way to make my field "PCRTrackingNumber", work like this: 05-0001...05-0002...05-0003...and so on. The 05 represents the year. I currently have the field setup as autonumber, set to Long Integer and increment. Even if it looked like 05-1...05-2...05-3...etc. that would be fine. Basically just looking for a way to add "05-" to the prefix.
I was trying to think of a way to combine a field to the autonumber field and use that instead...but need some help.
Thanks, Jeff

Hi All,
I searched the forum before posting and couldn't find my problem, or how to adapt similar problems.
I have created a Database for call logging.
I have 2 types of call Change and Problem. I have 2 seperate tables for these. Each have an Auto Number as a primary key. One Prefixed with a 'C' and one with a 'P'. This was all fine, problem now being i have created a new table for Time Management.
I am trying to link the the time to a call, i can link the 2 primary keys to the 'reference' field in the time management, the problem being there are now 2, 000001, i can manually re-attach the P or C, but i want to write a report to see who's logging the most calls, to do this i wanted to use the time to look accross to Problem or Change and show the User ID, but when i query C000001, it show's no matchs as all thats stored in the table is 000001.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian

I found instructions that said in order to prefix an autonumber i.e. AAA000 you would have to write "AAA"000 in the format section under the general tab in the table design view of the field you are interested in.
I did this however even though the number now appears as AAA000, AAA001 etc in the table it does appear this way in the form - it just appears as 0,1 etc....
My actual prefix is 2006/1010/ i.e. 2006/1010/001, 2006/1010/002 and so forth.
Anyone have an idea of why not?

So I have a table with a bunch of data, InventoryID is the autonumber field which just increments normally, what I want to do is stick 'S000' in front of the autonumber, and for this to be the default prefix for any new items in my database - how would I go about this? I'm guessing some kind of append or update query would do it, but I'm no access whiz, help appreciated folks.........

I'm making a new database and I want to assign Item Codes to my inventory. For example:
ItemCode (Primary Key) | Item | ItemDescription
I want to generate an automated item code containing the first letter of the Item (as prefix) followed by numbers. Example:
ItemCode: P001
Item: Paper
ItemDesciption: Ordinary white paper

I have a module which generates an autonumber based on a table content (Tbl:Numbervalues) and a prefix (prefix held in Tbl: TextValues)
the module itself works fine and after every getprefix & getnextnumber it updates the number within numbervalues table to the next unique figure.
However what i want it to do is within my database i want to loop through all the records and update a column based on the getprefix() & getnextnumber()
so at the moment lets say column A has values of SHA000001 (in all 100 records) i want it to loop through those 100 records and update to be SHA(from the prefix table) and 000001 all the way to 000100.
Code:
Public Function GetPrefix() As String
On Error GoTo GetPrefix_ErrorHandler
GetPrefix = DLookup("Value", "TextValues", "Description = ""InvoicePrefix""")
If Len(GetPrefix) <> 2 Then
msgbox "The Invoice Prefix Value in the Text Values Table is not 2 characters long!", vbCritical, "Critical Warning"
End If
[Code] ....

Hi,
I have seen a MDE Access db last week with 2 new things in it
1. The db had 2 customized menu (1st one was in English and Second one
was in Local language). There was small button on customized menu bar called 'E' by clicking of which the whole customized menu was
replaced by English menu bar. In fact the db was created for bilingual
user. There was only one customized menu bar at a time. Means if you click command button 'E' it was replacing the local language menu bar with English bar and if you click 'E' second time (This time the button caption is in local langauge), the English language menu bar was re-appearing
2. When the user clicked to change menu to English, all the forms and
report captions turned into English.
It was very new thing for me.
I am interested to apply the same tricks in my db so the user can
handle my db in local language even if don't know English well.
I would be grateful to If somebody amongst you know and donate to our
access family in a sample db (At least replacing menu trick) ...
Thanks,
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

Hello everyone.
Not sure if this is possible...but I hope it is!
I have created user security with limited access for specific groups to certain forms in my database.
However, when a user attempts to open one of the restricted forms a Generic Microsoft Access Message Box opens. Am I able to customise this box so that the box Heading is not "Microsoft Access" and so that the user is not offered the option of "Help"?
Really all I want is a box that says;
"You do not have the permission to open this form."
I only want an "Ok" box as an option (not the "Help" box as well)
Any help would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Greetings.
I am pulling my hair out trying to create a customized menu bar. Eventually, I want to have a customized menu bar and tool bar for report and different customized menu bar and tool bar for forms. I created the tool bar for the report window. Then when I tried to create a new menu bar I could not remove menu selections without removing the same menu selections from the default Menu Bar.
I selected View->Toolbars->Customize...
Then I clicked on New (command button)
Then I named it (RptMenuBar)
Then I selected 'Built-In Menus' from the Commands Tab
Then I dragged the 'File' from the Command list into the new Menu Bar
Then I went to the new menu bar and dropped down the selections under File and started to left click and drag what I didn't in the NEW MENU BAR. However, it turns out when I did that the same selections were removed from the default Menu Bar.
I was ablel to restore the default Menu Bar. But I want to have a customized Menu Bar and be able to select that new Menu Bar and associate it with every Report that is in my Database.
Any ideas? If you have some good instructional references, please point me in that direction. Thanks.

Hello,
I am a beginner and know a little about access. I am trying to create a customized Primary Key with an auto number. I want it to look like this: VP001 ,next record, VP002 and so forth. When I enter a new record and want it to do this automatically. It could be VP1, then VP2, I don't need the extra zeros but it would be nice. I don't know how to do this. If someone could please help walk me through this. Remember I am a beginner with databases and need help.
I would appreciate it
Thanks

I have a form that I designed that contains two subforms.The first subform is an entry subform so you can post the current client visits.The second subform I want to just display all prior client visits and make updates or deletions if needed.
It does not appear that I can make the first subform entry= yes additions allowed=YES in the properties.The second subform I want entry=No and addition=no..When I pull up the properties sheet for each of the subforms these options do not appear. They appear only on the main FORM, FORM property sheet. I thought I could create two new forms with the properties I desire and then copy them into the main form.

I have designed an Access database with a certain table called EmailAlerts.
This table has two fields: EmailMessage and Recipients.
The EmailMessage field stores the body of the mail to be sent to the corresponding email addresses in Recipients. E.g.:
EmailMessage | Recepients
Hello | abc@xyz.com
Goodbye | pqr@xyz.com
Now what I want to do is, whenever a record is added to this table, I want to send the email to the corresponding recipient. How can I do this?

I have been looking at the way I name fields and thought I'd Google the topic. Seems to be a split as to prefix names or not. Looks like the SQL Sever and Oracle groups say not to while Access users are kind of directed to use them...
While I have not prefixed names in the past, I was going to do my next db with the things like:
intMyFldName
strMyFldName
etc...
Where as in the past I would do something like:
my_fld_name_one
my_fld_name_two
etc...
What do you all see as some of the pro's and con's?

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.

How could let me get auto invoice number.... like press Button or combo box??
Here we got some related info: 10 customers, each I'd like to get invoice number with their own prefix, example ICP, CUC and etc...
Then, I would like numbering to be incremental from each customer, mean: CUC001, CUC002, then, ICP001, CUC003 and so on...
When I need to put these invoice number into Data Entry table which like below:
Load Date>>Customer>>Particular>>Quantity>>invoice No
1/Jan/2014>>ICP>>part A>>100>>ICP001
3/Jan/2014>>ICP>>part B>>200>>ICP001
5/Jan/2014>>CUC>>part C>>50>>CUC001
18/Jan/2014>>CUC>>part B>>200>>CUC001
23/Jan/2014>>ICP>>part C>>50>>ICP001
I could not use 'Auto Numbering' for each line, as I need out some lines accumulated for one invoice number 'ICP001'.
My questions:
1. What can I do to let me Automatic generate invoice number which increment from last number?
2. What can I do to let me easy to put those 'invoice number' into my Data Entry table's invoice number field? (p/s: Append Query? Update Query?)
3. What if I need sorting (example to group ONE customer and ONE Particular) for my invoicing number? What I meant is ... let say there is 30 lines customer CUC with particular Part B in a same month, and I wanna get them into same invoice number.
