Access 2013.
Table field is set to: Number/Byte, 0 decimals.
The field is used to sort records in a particular order.
In the form it is set to Standard, no Decimals and no Default Value.
When I create a new record and type in: 1, it makes it 10, 2 becomes 20 etc.
If I delete the value and type it in again, it does not add the 0.
It only does it in the form, not when I enter it in the table directly.
I want to know if there's a way to sort alphanumeric fields where the number of digits aren't always the same.
Example: I have the following: 2a, 10a, 3a.
Currently, it sorts: 10a, 2a, 3a.
Is there a way to get it to sort 2a, 3a, 10a without adding a 0 before 2a and 3a?
I have a form I created in the past that auto-fills some of its fields based on the user's selection of a record from a combo box linked to another table. The form has been working perfectly however I recently tried to add a couple of more fields to the form that need to be autofilled. I added the new fields to the source table and added columns to the combobox that should allow my VB code to fill those boxes. However only one of the new fields is filling correctly. After trying a few different things I notice that the problem seems to be with whatever data field becomes the 21st column in the combobox. Is there some sort of limit on the number of columns contained in the data source for such a box?

Private Sub EmpIDAutofill_Change()
Me.EmployerCatAutofill.Value = Me.EmpIDAutofill.Column(1)
Me.StreetNumAutofill.Value = Me.EmpIDAutofill.Column(2)
Me.JobCityAutofill.Value = Me.EmpIDAutofill.Column(3)

Currently if an employee attends a mandatory training session the details are entered individually into in a single table which contains all the employees' attendances to training, this is achieved via a bound form.
Works Fine.
My question is, if the training is carried out by a number of employees can this attendance be recorded on one form and assigned to each of the employees who attended?

I have a form where data can be added and it has different tabs. The 3rd tab has idVersion field and Comment field where users can add the version and comment, if needed. When they need to add another version, the blank fields will be added as next row, so on and so forth. The problem is users are adding a lot of versions but not sorted. So for example:
Row 1 of the form: idVersion field is "1" and comment has "Test 1".
Row 2 of the form: idVersion field is "8" and comment has "Test 8".
Row 3 of the form: idVersion field is "2" and comment has "Test 2".
Row 2 of the form: idVersion field is "5" and comment has "Test 5".
So how can I fix it where after they saved the version and comment, when they close the database and re-open it again, the data will show up as:
Row 1 of the form: idVersion field is "1" and comment has "Test 1".
Row 2 of the form: idVersion field is "2" and comment has "Test 2".
Row 3 of the form: idVersion field is "5" and comment has "Test 5".
Row 2 of the form: idVersion field is "8" and comment has "Test 8".
So even if they add a new version and comment (example version "3"), it will be automatically sorted when the database is reopen.
I have a field where a user has to input numbers. This number at most will have 8 digits. Something like 00000001 or 00001234. I want access to show those zero's before the number but I can't do it. Any suggestions.
Thanks,

Situation:
I am running a query to pull the left 4 numbers from an X coordinate the first 3 numbers from a Y and I need to make the final Serial Number at least 5 digits but the numbers in the table range from 3 to 5 digits.
The Question:
How do i add 0's in front of a number to make it at least 5 digits?
I have the following so far to pull the data with the exception of the 5 digits for the serialnum:
Equipment_Loc: (Left$([POLEDATA.Map_X],4) & "-" & Left$([POLEDATA.Map_Y],3) & "-" & [POLEDATA.SerialNum])
Hi,
I have a database in which info is imported from a flatfile.
In the database I have a query to select relevant info to appear on a report for invoicing.
Now the imported info adds a number in a column for all rows.
example: it adds 9600 to all invoices, based on the info that is imported.
Now I want the import and export invoices to be separate, and the numbers to display 9600A and 9600B.
Is there something I can add to the query in order to get this result?
Thx,
Lion85heart
Reading this, I think it might be a bit unclear, so pls. ask any questions that you might have.

I have been messing with this for a while And i am losing my head- I am not very good with access,
Never was taught it either, but I can duplicate almost anything just by looking at it and trial and error. but this auto number and adding the tech and labor and parts feild to total up in to the total column. I will try to attach the file so you can take a look at what I have and see where I am screwing up at. or what ever I am missing. or is there a way to duplicate last years (which works fine) but I dont want any of the data. just all the propert fields.

I have a query that captures date values from a table based on a between function that works fine. What I would like to do is associate a sequence number fro each date value returned and either perform a make table or leave it as a select query. If I create a table I know that I aam able to add an autonumber field but the query is executed frequently and performing the addition of the autonumber field is not feesible. Any thoughts how I can generate the sequence number each time the query is executed?
Thanks
I have a text field with numbers like this: 2014556682 or 2014236781, etc.
My problem is that I need to insert 00 between the 2014 and the last 6 numbers.
I have a table with 100,000 plus unique rows and I want to add a column (call it 'ID') and place a value in each row starting with 000001 and adding one on to each row. What is the correct code to do this. I've tried with various combinations of For...next but can't get anything to work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a template database that I downloaded from the Microsoft Access template website and have been modifying it and adding new forms and tables etc. I have used the forms wizard to create a number of new forms to edit a number of the tables. The forms are "split forms".I can't seem to get many of the forms to stay the size that I set them to! They seem to have a mind of their own and often when I think that I have sized them correctly, I then open the form and they display in full screen mode or larger!
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a daabase that I am importing via excel. I want the entries to be numbered
ex: MT0001
MT0002
etc....
I would like it to promt the user for the last number(or next number in sequence) entered, then fill in the blank records with the next increment number.
The prefix will also change to so eventually the user would enter into the prompt RD0001. then autofill the 140 imported records with RD0002, rd0003... etc....
I can't really make seperate fields because the MT0001 number will become a barcode and putting them seperate causes many issues.
can this be done? Any help would be great I am still a beginner but slowly learning!
Thanks!
I'm just looking for a way to add an additional column to a select query that will just be autonumbered down all the way to the bottom of the data. How can I accomplish this?

Adding a second auto number field to current table and auto numbering current entries?
I need to combine some records from the same order number that currently have detailed names. I'm trying to simplify them, but I can't because it creates duplicate records.
I am working on a database where the records are numbered sequentially. On a regularly basis, records will be deleted leaving a gap in the record number sequence. I would like to have my db recognize that a number(s) is number in the sequence and use the missing number (filling in the gaps) when a new record(s) is added until all spaces are filling and then to continue from the largest number sequentially.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a field for Item Price.
It would be a currency field, but I want it to be able to work with up to 6 decimal places. currency only seems to handle 4.
So, in the table, i changed it to a Single.
In the form, I left the control on Currency.
If I type in $1.43, instead of storing $1.43000000 it stores $1.43003243953
Why is it adding all these bogus sub decimal numbers? Any clue?
Thank you,

I have a form which allows the user to add new records to a table. After the user had entered all the information into the form, they click a command button to add the record. In addition to adding the new record, my command button runs an query which is supposed to generate a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 and update the record ID field with that number.
Here is the formula I have been using in the "update To" now of my query: Int((1000000000-1+1)*Rnd()+1)
My problem is that I keep getting duplicates. You would think that the chances of getting a duplicate number would be pretty small with this large of a range, but I get a duplicate almost every time.
I have tried indexing (No duplicates) the field in the table, but that did not work. When my query generated a duplicate number, the record was just not added to the table.
I also tried a two step approach:
1-Make a table of all in use record ID numbers from my table (tblIdNo)
2-Update new record with a random number that is not in tblIdNo
This was a no-go too
How to build an update query that will update each new record added to the table with a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 without any duplicates? This seems like it should be so simple, and I am starting to get really frustrated.
I would prefer to accomplish this through a query/queries (if possible) rather than with 100 lines of code. This database is not for me, it's for another group, and the individuals in this group are totally freaked out by code.
I have a WO Table and a related WO Procedures Table. I would like to add a specific # of blank lines/records between each record but that # will vary. So the report will show the WO Procedure Desc then a specified # of blank lines below it and then the next WO Procedures Desc then a specified # of blank lines below it etc.
I thought to add a field to the Proc tbl called #ofLines and whatever number was entered would be the # of blank lines to appear below the record on the report.
I am not sure if it is possible to implement this but I would like your input. We get request from client via a web based form which contains a unique ID number called RDEFNumber. When we process the request internally, we use this number to identify the request throughout the process. The request from client contains processing of multiple files which are transmitted to us in different times of the day or days.
Every time we receive a file, an email is sent to the IT team with all the information about the file. We use an internal database to send the email to the IT team and use the RDEFNumber as the identifier in the subject line. What I am trying to do is to add an additional number at the end of the RDEFNumber automatically to differentiate the subject line.
For example, we take "1791" as a RDEFNumber. For the first time we enter 1791 to the database RDEFNumber field, it should check the table "tblRDEF" (record source) for duplicate value. If no Duplicate exists, it should keep the number as same. When we get the next file for processing with the same 1791 number and enter this number in the RDEFNumber field, it should automatically change it to "1791-1" since "1791" already exists in the database. When we get the next file, the number should change to "1791-2" and then "1791-3" and on.
I want whenever I'm updating or adding records to my form, the ID automatically take the value of the previous ID and increment it by 1.
The field type is text (mixed with number) - PM0000000.
I've done some research, what I understand is that I need to:
-do a lookup and
-find the MAX of the number portion.
Name of form - Payment
Name of table - Payment
Name of field - payment_id
I tried these, but to no avail...
Private Sub payment_id_Click()
payment_id = DLookup(("[payment_id]", "Payment", "[payment_id]=Forms![Payment]![payment_id]-1")payment_id + 1)
End Sub

I have a set of transactions with a Unique ID field and a date. I want to add a field based that gives me the sequence of events for each Unique ID in order of when it happened.
For example, if customer X has 6 transactions, the sequence field would have a number (1-6) in each record that corresponds to the order in which those transactions occurred. The first transaction would have the number 1, the second would have the number 2 and so on.
Basically what I have is a database for tracking/logging parcels that arrive to the office. I want to be able to generate a reference number based on the date of arrival: i.e. the reference number should be ddmmyy### where ### is a sequential number. I know that I could just use the primary key's autonumber, for the sequential number but if I do this then the sequence will not restart at 1 on each date and because we receive a lot of parcels the reference number will grow to be too big to print out on the collection slips in just a few months.
two tables (one with the date and staff on duty that day and the other with the parcel's info') with a one to many relationship
I also have a query (Named: FullLog) that picks up the following data from the tables:
Name - Description - Size - TrackingInfo' - Staff - DateReceived - Count
The field named Count is a DCount function that I used to find out the number of times each date is repeated. This is the Expression that I used:
Count: DCount("*","FullLog","DateReceived = " & [DateReceived]) [Note that DateReceived is first converted into a string using CStr()]
This is as far as I have been able to get, I have been looking for weeks for a solution to this problem but I have yet to find one. I don't even know if the DCount function is the correct way of doing it, I did read somewhere that this produces a very slow query.
Effectively what I want to be able to get is something of that resembles the following
DateReceived - ReferenceNo
051013 051013001
051013 051013002
051013 051013003
061013 061013001
061013 061013002
071013 071013001
071013 071013002
071013 071013003
071013 071013004
071013 071013005
081013 081013001
081013 081013002
091013 091013001
101013 101013001
I have a form [IUDATA]
I have a add record button.
I have a date field [DATEIN]
I have a text field [DRPNO]
If the [DPRNO] field is empty, I would like the user to have the [DPRNO] field be automatically populated after the user enters a date.
I'd like the format of [DPRNO] to be "dpr YY-XXX"
Where:
YY is the year of the [DATEIN] field and
XXX is number of records in that year.
So for example, if it was the 4th record with a 2013 date the [DPRNO] would be dpr 13-004.
