I am working on a form and need it to be able to generate a random number to use as an invoice number. The only parameters i need it to meet is that it is at least 5 digits in length. I was hoping i could use a button to make the number generate in a separate box.
View RepliesI'm trying to get an invoice number field to auto generate the next number, keeping the format as "00000"...this is what I have, which gets the next number but drops the leading 0
Code:
Private Sub Customer_AfterUpdate()
If Len(Me.[InvoiceNumber] & vbNullString) = 0 Then
Me.[InvoiceNumber] = (DMax("[InvoiceNumber]", "[tblInvoiceNumber]") + 1)
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
End If
End Sub
invoice numbers are 04024, 04025 etc...how I keep the formatiing?
Hi All,
I'm designing this database, in which, I have to give each record a unique random (or sequance) number of 5 digits, giving that the first digit must be retrived from another field.
Please Help, I need this ASAP!
Any help will be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
CS.
I have created invoices as reports but now I'm looking for a way to add an invoice number to it. It needs to be an auto increment number for every invoice for every client.
I have 10 different clients and I want them to have their own incremented invoice number. Every client has it own unique number. So for example in week 1 I want to have the following invoice numbers; 01-0001, 02-0001, 03-0001 etc. In week 2 I want them to be; 01-0002, 02-0002, 03-0002. It is important that every client has the invoice numbers without gaps.
What is the best way to realize this?
Hi.
I have major report due within hours.
I need to add a field to existing table that will be a 9 digit number, non duoplicating or - to take an existing field of 9 digits and allow it's values to change to random or incremental, non-duplicate numbers of 9 digits. I already have an autonumber field I must keep.

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.
I have a form where we fill in information for supply of equipment to employees.
Each item must be signed for on a printed report.
I am encountering problems trying to create enough rows in my report detail for each signature of the items supplied.
For example, on the form I will select the "equipment" - 4 hats supplied and 3 boots. On the report I want the equipment set as the group and the detail to be a number or rows which equals the number of selected items. therefore under the Hats group heading I want 4 blank rows which are made up of 3 text boxes - Print Name, Signature & Date and another group heading for boots but with 3 lines.
Need to generate a unique reference number each record wise while data entering by a form. How to do this by using a command button ? After entering all fields related to the record, when click on the command button, unique reference number for that record need to be generated and save with all other data of the records. in a later event, need to recall the record by using this reference number and also need to make relation ship with some other table by using the reference number.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a small .mdb for invoicing. Till now I had to put invoice number, which had two parts, manually for the first part, for example 001 or 002 and automatically for the second part as Date part. So I had, for example 2006 or 2007. The complete number was, for example 001/2006 etc.
The problem was New Year. Now, all previous invoices from 2006 have 2007 extension and the first parts are not starting form 001 but they continue.
I am trying to incorporate a field in my customer order form for "Invoice Number". Not every customer order form will have an invoice number.
The Invoice Number field will default as null, or blank. I want to make it so the Invoice Number gets automatically populated ONLY IF another field on the same form is populated with "X".
Also, I would like the Invoice Number to equal the Previous Record that has an invoice number + 1. For example, if the previous 5 client records did not have an invoice number (blank because the client's form did not have a certain field populated with "X"), but the previous 6th record had an invoice number of 1001, then the current invoice number would be 1002.
So far, I just have the Form for the underlying table created. I don't have the invoice field in the table created yet. Not too sure where to start.
Thanks much appreciated in advance.
Quick question, how do I have access generate a random number between 1 and 8? I want it to generate either a 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, or 8. (no zero, no nine)
Expr1: Fix(Rnd(8-1)*10*Rnd()) is what I have been using, but this always generates the number 2? I do want the decimals to be rounded to the nearest integer, thus I have Fix.
If someone could please help me, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
How can I make random auto numbers 8 digits in length (including leading zeros) and always positive?
Thank you
Hello,
I have this query:
SELECT UNIT.Code, Rnd() AS Expr1
FROM UNIT;
The problem is that in the Expr1 field all the numbers are the same. I would like to have random numbers that are different for each record (generate new random number for each record)
Thanks for your help
Cheers
Ok, I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge but I need Help!!
I have a database form that has a O_Num field that populates the Order table. Now the client wants the order number to be a randomly generated number. this is the primary key and I cant use autonum because there is another field in the table that is autonum.
I have tried to use the following in the OnClick field, doesnt work
=Int((1000 * Rnd()) + 1)
Hello i've got to make a project for school and thought I would make a rental shop like Blockbuster. But I need to create a number that will be assigned to each customer when they become a member. So I need to generate a random number that uses a certain amount of digits (I was thinking about 8) and that won't be used again can you help.

I have 3 tables invoice, customer and items. I need to create a query that will get the next invoice number from the invoice table and mark that invoice number in the items table for a set customer where the invoice field in the items table is blank.
The invoice table is now set up as a autonumber, therefore I need to append to get the last new number.
The items in the item table are unique and this is why I want to mark the invoice number in the item table field invoice.
I am selling some products, namely A to M. I record the orders of costumers in a table, named "orders". For example, if costumer "Jack" has ordered as the following:
Code:
ID costumer product quantity unitprice orderdate
12 jack A 4 10 25/11/2014
13 jack B 5 5 25/11/2014
14 jack C 1 4 25/11/2014
15 jack F 3 2 25/11/2014
16 Jack G 4 8 25/11/2014
17 Jack H 1 7 25/11/2014
Then I make a report based on the above table and issue that as the invoice to the costumer, who is jack here.
How can I make a unique invoice number, which automatically increases sequentially for each invoice? Do I need to add a new column to the table? I also need to be able to look for a specific invoice based on the number, or date.
Part of my access application does invoicing. I have an invoice number table that wholes one field "InvoiceNum". On my invoice report i have the following code:
Code:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'// lookup invoice number when invoice opens
intInvoiceNum = Nz(DLookup("InvoiceNum", "tblInvoiceNum"), 0)
End Sub
[Code] .....
Problem: My report open with groupby ClientID and ProjectNum. Multiple invoices print on the same report. If any invoice spills over to second page the Format Code runs again inserting an incremental invoice number to the second page. How can i prevent this from happening?
Anyway, here is what I am looking to do:
1.) Generate a random number between 1 and 100 and assign the result an identifier, like a person's name.
2.) Generate a second random number between 1 and 100 and assign the result a different identifier, like another person's name.
3.) Compare the two randomly generated numbers.
4.) Have the identifier of the LARGER random number displayed on the screen.
I would like to have this linked into a button click.I am hoping there is an easy way to accomplish this task.
I have a log in screen that my users must use before they can use my db. if they enter the wrong username/password they get the usual message boxes. I also thought it would be a nice personal touch if once they've logged in they get a little greeting, so i made a message box that says "Hello " followed by their first name
This did the trick for a while, however theyre sick of seeing "Hello" and want other greetings, i figured this wouldnt be too complicated and took me only about 10 minutes or so to implement.
Basically i created a table (tblGreetings), has two fields, an autonumber field (ID) and a short text field
I've added the following code into the login sequence:
Dim greetings As Integer
Dim greet As String
Dim randomNum
greetings = DCount("ID", "tblGreetings")
randomNum= Int((greetings - 1 + 1) * Rnd + 1)
greet = DLookup("Greeting", "tblGreetings", "[ID]=" & randomNum)
which in theory should generate a random number between 1 and "greetings" (which is an integer representing the number of greetings ive stored in my table), currently greetings=9
then it should pick a greeting from tblGreetings using the random number as an ID
This more or less works, except whenever the DB is opened and a user logs in, the "random" number is the same every time, it always seems to be 7 (which corresponds to the greeting "G'day").
Why this random number is always the same? it changes if i run the code a few times in the same session, but once the database is closed and reopened it still gives off the number 7, every time
On an Access database, I would like an ID number to be generated randomly.
This ID number needs to be within the range of 11000 - 99999.
How is this possible?
hey, where can i set or how can i make the access automatic generate the the number. like i want it start from:
Account number: Ra-b200
Account number: Ra-b201
Account number: Ra-b202
cheers
I just came across a problem that I didn't recognize before. I had an invoice table and corresponding form that had an autonumber for the invoice number. The problem now is that I would like the invoice number to begin at 256 and then increase incrementally, because I had some previous invoices from my books. How to go about doing this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying construct a form that will only show an invoice if all the invoice records have been approved. I have created a form that will allow the user to look at each line of an invoice and has a checkbox to approve it. If the user has selected all the boxes it will disappear from the Approval view, which is a query that shows unique values.
The problem is that if all of the lines but one are checked it will also show up in the view for the unapproved invoices AND the approved invoices. I would like to know how to structure a query that shows unique values but ONLY if ALL of the invoice line items have been approved.
My company does daily, weekly, and monthly drawings using mountains of entry tickets and a barrel that has seen better days. So needless to say this system has to go. I hope to be able to do it digitally.
I would like to do a random number generator to pick the winners based off of a ticket number range. The ticket numbers issued to the customer would correspond to the customer account number. To complicate things I would really love to have the random numbers displayed on the screen so people feel they are watching the randomization pick in progress with the winner name popping up.
I have searched Help for Rnd function, as well as googled. I haven had any luck finding what I need. Is what I am looking to do possible in access? I had something similar in Excel a few years ago but lost it.
