Auto number will not work for what I want to do. I am creating a simple database that will assign the user with the next incremental number in a field. The intent of the database is for the user to enter three text fields and then obtain the number. I believe that Dmax would work but do not know how to make populate the table.
View RepliesMy access database is used to process vehicle trips. Each shift, a vehicle is assigned a docket number (paper based), and on this docket the driver fills out each trip he/she makes. In a shift (thus on a docket) there may be 5 - 15 trips. I want to create an incrementing number for each trip in a new field - can be created as they are processed or after the fact by looping through the resultant data - whatever is easier.
So in simple terms, return all trips for each docket number then number each trip.
The code I am modifying looping through Me.controls collection to identify appropriate control types. Is there a way to influence the order (sequence) of that traversing? Or in different words, is there a way to assign by design certain item number to a given control?

What I want to be able to do is to assign a back colour to a control from VBA. There are many colours and what I thought would be an easy process was to choose a suitable colour to be assigned using the colour picker for a control, note the hex number then in my vba code would be
if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34
This compiles OK, but produces a completely different colour - I'm expecting an orange colour but getting blue and in another example a pale blue is coming out a brown.
Research indicates adding an ampersand to the end changes the value from integer to long but if I type
if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34&
The second ampersand disappears. In the immediate window
?&HF0AD34
?&HF0AD34&
?Val("&HF0AD34")
?clng("&HF0AD34")
?Val("&HF0AD34&")
?clng("&HF0AD34&")
All produce the same value of 15772980, which if I copy back to the control backcolour property produces the blue colour and not the required orange - which if i debug.print me.mycontrol.backcolor give me 3452400 - the correct number for orange.
The problem seems to be converting the hex number to a long.
Also how to modify the properties window to show the decimal value rather than the hex value, but can't see anywhere to do this.
I don't know if this is possible or not. I know you can assign your own autonumber by working w/ an append query. But my question is, if I have a number that is 1.0 - can I change the 10th spot after the decimal? I tried it myself w/ the append query but it changes the 1 to a 2.0. Is there a way to do that?
My next question is - I know there is a copyobject. I want to be able to click on a button, & it copies a form. BUT, you have to enter either a destination for the form or a new name for the form. But the problem is, I want to keep the current destination and the form name will change each time there is a new form created. Is there a way to have something pop up for me to rename the form?
Thanks in advanced.
Is it possible or not but Iany way to set up a number field to autonumber on reviews of an application.
To elaborate I have a review table linked to the primary application table. The pk on the review table will be an actual autonumber to list all the reviews ever to happen in the database. There will be multiple reviews on one application and there will be a review number for each review (1, 2, 3, etc...). Is it possible to set up as a 'number' field that will add the next review # for that particular application, and then start again at 1 for the next application?

Hi,
I would like how I can generate automatic Id in a table with following structure. billid number, billdate date& time.
I don't like to use AutoNumber built in feature.

I have a table with an autonumber field, which of course is indexed with no duplicates. Twice in recent days it has attempted to add a record with an autonumber that is not the high number - it is about 20 numbers below the high number. So we get a 'can't add this record' error.
I can fix this by copying the table to a temporary table and then copying it it back. Then the autonumber works correctly.
What can I do to prevent this? By the way we updated to Access 2010 a couple of weeks ago, but the data is still Access 2003. We are reluctant to update the data yet in case it causes more problems.
I have created 2 tables:
StaffID
StaffTrainingID
Table 1 (StaffID) - contains all personal details in the form of forename + surname + position + email + contact numbers ect. Each field/person has an autonumber.
Table 2 (StaffTrainingID) - contains all mandatory training/lectures (18 fields in total). I don't wish to list each staff member again in table 2 so have put a StaffID field in (data type is number).
However, when I try to type in the StaffID number in that field so I can link that person to the relevant training he/she has taken, Access won't allow it.
Hello! I'm trying to assign a number to a set of rows so I can, essentially, create a dual primary key on a table. Below is an example of what I have...
654321 | Course 1
654321 | Course 2
123456 | Course 1
123456 | Course 2
123456 | Course 3
123456 | Course 4
123456 | Course 5
The numbers are just "student numbers" if you will. Something that identifies them. The second column is basically the name of a course. What I would like to do is number each row, but only within the group of that individual.
Example:
1 | 654321 | Course 1
2 | 654321 | Course 2
1 | 123456 | Course 1
2 | 123456 | Course 2
3 | 123456 | Course 3
4 | 123456 | Course 4
5 | 123456 | Course 5
Can I accomplish this?
Hello- I am trying to create a database for a non- profit. They have events and workshops and want a numbered field for each entry in their registration form. Seems like a simple thing to do, but Im not figuring it out. Is there anyway to put an unbound field in a form that will autonumber each entry?
Thanks for any help!
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.
I created a database of "My Cars", "Television", and "Wines" and a Trouble Reports(TR) for each. I have a field TR on each and for now a user can fill it up with number i.e first TR is 1, second Tr is 2 etc etc. I want it automatically filled automatically not manually. However, I want it to do the same for "Television" and "Wines" when I write Trs on them. I am a rookie and I dont know how to do it I attached a copy of the db I created.

I have written a code to look up by the unique reference number rather than use the wizard to avoid this error happening... The field is restricted to list only so you can't actually edit the number.For ease of use you cannot scroll by record and I need to filter by the ID. Is there an easy fix to this combobox?
Would creating a seperate query work? Is there another lookup code I could use where I don't need to have the combo box bound to the ID field since it's not being edited anyway? I had a go at one and although it would now let me select it wasn't updating the record, tried a few ways but it seems that it needs to be bound to the field.
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I have written a check writer program for the company I work at. I have a table for Venders, and a separate table Invoices set with a 1-many relationship. When checks are printed it consolidates all the unpaid invoices for each vender to print a single check and mark it as paid with the date.
The checks already have a check number printed on them so what I need is an option that will allow me to enter the first check number when the print starts and Access will put that number in a field on the invoices page for each invoice associated with the first vender printed, then would increase the number by one and put that number in the invoices associated with the next vender printed.
I have a an 'Orders' table that records order details which has the order number field set as an autonumber. I also have a number of other tables which provide additional details for each particular order (eg Address details, invoice history etc) These each have a 1 to 1 relationship with the 'Orders' table. This has all been working fine for some time but having just added a new order the order number has jump from 10135 to 10137! For some reason it missed out 10136.
Any ideas why and what I need to do? If I create a new table based on the structure of the existing one then append the records to it won't I still have the same problem?
Thanks
I want to generate a unique Patient Number by using the first three letters of a particular field and then increment it by 1.
ie If the [CountryName] field is Australia I want the Patient ID to be AUS1 then AUS2 and so on.
I can do the first bit
PatientID=UCase(Left[CountryName],3) but how can I then add the number...?
(or maybe this isn't possible).
I need to avoid autonumbers becasue of the PDA program I am then transferring the database to.
I have a table with a compound key, and one of the two fields in the compound key has to start at 100 and finish at 999 and I'd like it so that each number didn't have to be typed in individually.
So I thought about using an autonumber that somehow starts at 100 but doesn't go over 999 if thats possible? Or if you have any other ideas on how I could achieve this?
Thanks
Hi :)
I have solved a m:n relationship by adding a junction table. The composite primary key in the junction table is made up of primary keys from the other two tables, and both of theses primary keys are set to autonumber.
My question is this: Is it correct to set both parts f the composite key in he junction table to number rather than autonumber?
I was thinking that since autonumber should be set only once, the junction table should just take on what ever value there is in the primary keys of the other two tables.
Kind Regards
Marie

I have a question concerning combo boxes and the best way to implement them. When creating a field in a table I can choose to set the lookup for the field as a combo box and it will allow the use of a combo box in the table. I could also leave it alone and use a form with a combo box on it. My question is which method is better, or are there particular situations where one is preferred?
I can only think that using a combo straight from a table is good if you plan editing data via the table. If data entry is only to take place through the form then I see no need to set the combo box value on the table.
