General :: Allocate Record Number To End User?
Aug 18, 2014
What is the best way to allocate a record number to the end user?
I have had problems where users have come back to me saying that both of them created the same record number at the same time and I am not sure why that is happening.
To be certain, I am using INSERT rather than UPDATE which was my initial concern (an update would just over write the previous record)
How can we check the last value, uniquely assign that value to a person at the point of creating the record and ensure that no one else can take it...
Is it possible that a laggy server would cause these issues? (as the code executes roughly the same time as another person also executes code, they overlap?)

Hi All
I want a user to click a button and then it will assign the oldest record in the table to that particular user, by using their NT login.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks

We have a model at my job which shows every job code one can do (there are only about 25 of these jobs) For example, let's say one job is called "Trade Settlements" and it's been estimated that we spend about 1000 minutes a day doing this particular job across the entire floor.
Well, I want to come up with a way to allocate the minutes of this to certain hour blocks and determining whether our group is over/understaff given the results.
So let's say I want, 30% of it to be done from 9-10 am, 10% done over the next 4 hour time blocks, and 2-3 pm for the remaining 30%.
Thus, we'd get something something like 300, 100, 100, 100, 100, 300 minutes and 0's for other time blocks.
These percentages would be input fields so if anyone types in a percentage, they get # of minutes spent for that hour on that job. Ultimately we would add these numbers up with other jobs and be able to easily update from there for any job type we wanted.

I've got a table [Devices] with some number fields that are already in there for another purpose.
In a different exercise I will manually collect more information from a layout drawing and give each piece of information I collect a unique reference(this could be as simple as a PK ref) and attach a "type" and "location" . This will be done randomly in a batch exercise any time.
I need to put the above into access and hold it until I choose to individually allocate these records to the number field that already exists in the [Devices] table.
I would like to add "say" a combo/List box in [Devices] where I could search for the PK Ref which when selected against a number would populate the [Devices] table with previously unallocated information. I would like to keep any combo/List box down to unallocated PK refs to make records easy to find. I guess this a kind of cut and paste exercise.

is there a way to find out who has a record open and send him message or someting similar?It happens from time to time that some one has a record open (selected in a form) and then is doing other things while the record is locked and a second person can't do nothing to the record.

I have taken the Access Tasks template and modified a bit. It now captures and saves the time and date a record is modified. The database is on a network folder and is shared among our team users.What I would like to do next is make it,
1- capture and record on my Tasks table the user name of who created the record by using the fOSUserName() function. I have the table fields "Created by" and the VB code in a module. This would happen only once when the record is created.
I would also like to do this with the machine name for which I have the module too. fOSMachineName()
and,
2- capture and record the user name of who modified a record. For this I also have a field in my task table "Last Modified By" and i hope i can use the same fOSUerNmae() function.
I got to the point where I put an unbounded text box with the =fOSUserName() in it and it does show the user name but how do i get to record to my task table?how the template removes the tasks that are completed from the task list as soon as it is updated to completed? how can I make this happen with a cancelled option after I add it to the drop down list?

I am having a problem with retrieving the information I am looking for. Basically I am checking to see if a user has selected a TRNumber from a drop down menu and if that TRNumber matches any other records in the table in that field. If it does, is that Number already associated with the user selecting it. If it is I want to get the ID number so I can simply update the record with new information. Here is what I have so far.
Code:
Dim Rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim Tech As String
Dim MsgStr As String
Dim IdMod As String
Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("PrepStartDateBlankQuery")
[Code] .....

i am currently developing a database what i need to do is to restrict user to view selected record and change them. i have build a login form in which i have two areas as a user name in combobox and a password text box. i have another form in which i have a combo box named area what i need to do is to limit the area combo based on the selection of the user login form previously. for example if a user select LAS VEGAS in user combo and enters its password after clicking the button login the another form appears in which thier respective stores and sales are saved, their is a combo box named area in which i want to limit it by LAS VEGAS i mean it would only show LAS VEGAS in drop down based on the previous selection in login form.

When I create a new record I am also generating a new Auto Number. This is so I have a sure fire way of returning the records that I want to return. I have read where it is a known issue that when using the Compact and Repair it can reset the Auto Number to a lower number and generate a duplicate Auto Number. That is the problem that I have at this time. I have tried using the Allen code but it doesn't seem to worked on linked tables. I use linked tables because I have multiple users who can access this system at any given point in time.how to have the Auto Number field select a number that is unique

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.

I want to return the number of record with the SQL search in MS Access. I am using the following code, the expected result will be a value. But somehow, it does not give any result.
StrSQL = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table1 WHERE [Condition]='A' "
How do I return the count value with the search?

I have three tables which I have linked with relationships. The linked fields are given the ID number of the parent, where I wanted the value. What on earth am I doing wrong, something stupidly obvious I bet! Access 2007

I'm using Dmax() to return a max number in a field which I then want to inc by 1 for a new record. Dmax is returning 999. I believe Dmax therefore thinks it's a text field. So where do I change this to a number field?

I have an Access2007/SQL Server 2012 system with 20 users for an insurance company. The company does most of its business via a network of vehicle dealers around the country. If someone comes in to buy a motorcycle, boat, or recreational vehicle at a dealership they need insurance to take it home, and our dealers send the quotes to us.
The dealers, in turn, receive payment from us each month for their efforts. Some are paid a % commission on the premium, some are paid for each quote they send regardless of whether the policy actually sells or not, and some are paid a set amount per sold policy. (Yes, that is relevant information!)
We already have reports that tally the amounts due each dealer based on their payment scheme, but last month our bookkeeper had to write about 650 checks manually because the check writing is not automated. She'd look at the report, and then enter name, address, and amount (in digits and words) into Quick Books and print the checks from there, a horribly tedious process. I've been asked to print the checks from Access. Basically one click would print all 650 checks.
I've opted to use a Make Table query to move the commissioned dealers amounts to a single location, and then to run two append queries to add the records from those paid per quote and those paid per policy. At the end of the day, one table contains all the information necessary to print the checks...except one.
The check number.
I need a way to sequentially number each record in the new table with a user generated starting point, the first check number.
By the way, the check blanks are on standard letter sized paper, three to a page, with tear-off perforations to separate them, in case that information has any relevance.
I think the best way to accomplish this is from the report itself. I've created a blank field on each record for the check number, and what seems most logical is that the sequential number is generated on print and written back to the table, rather than just generating all the numbers at once. That way, should print ever be interrupted, it will be easy to take up where we left off.

I would like to be able to copy a single record in a table and then paste this record a pre-defined number of times 10,20,30 depending on requirements. The reason I need to do this is that I want to set up a number of identical records that can easily be amended into unique records. This will vastly reduce the amount of work and time spent entering records individually.
The only way that I have been able to achieve this is to copy and transfer the master record into Excel, and then copy the row and paste it into a range of cells. Copy the range of cells back from Excel and then paste this range back into the Access table.
This works but is long winded; what I would like to know is is there a simply way of achieving this.

I have a database for taking orders for books, leaflets etc, what i want to do is this:
When I receive a delivery of stock I enter how many of each ‘Product’ I have received, I then want Access to allocate these to the various orders to make then ready for collection.
For example, if five people have all ordered 3 of ‘Product Guide’ and I only receive 15 then the first three to order are allocated three each.
Not got a clue how to do this, guessing I’ll need to code it?
Hope it makes sense

I have a database for mutli users which is split. Front end is available separately for 3 users. These users make data entry in the same form from their front end form. This particular form has combo box that retrieves data based on selection in combo box and the use starts filling the data in the subform. Upto this, form is Ok, no problems seen.
But when the second user opens the same form from the split database front end stored in his computer, and once the second user selects another record from the combo box, first user's record also changes immediately to the record of Second user. Both users now have the same record even though the form is separately accessed from front end.

I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.

Hi guys,
I've seen different log in forms and tips on multi-user use but can't seem to find info on the following...
We have 6 people at work and I'd like to assign which user updated a form or created a new record...this would be particularly useful on the sales part of the database to track who made a call to a particular customer...
Best ideas anyone?

On the surface this seems easy, but I am struggling. two tables
tbldata (four fields 6,270 rows)
custid 2015cellcode 2015qty 2015amt
12673 1243 100 1,000.00
12673 1250 200 2,000.00
etc etc
tblmntlyalloc (Three fields and 12 rows i.e. one row for each month)
2015mnth, 2015allocation, 2015wrkdays
jan 98 20
feb 93 19
etc etc etc
So in order to handle seasonality of sales, the sales department is given 1,200 points. you can then allocation any number of points (75 - 125) per month. But the total number of points must equal 1,200. So I created a table with the monthly allocation and workdays. I could hard code the % and work days into the formula like this
Jan1[2015amt]*(98/1200)) / 20
Feb1[2015amt]*(93/1200)) / 19
And this does work very well to get me my daily sales amount per month/wrkday
However I know sales will change the monthly allocation (still totals 1200) and HR could even have a change to the holiday schedule. So I want to utilize the table.
So my query brings in both tables, but they are not linked. And this is my formula.
Jan1[2015amt]*([2015allocation]/1200) / [2015wrkdays]
Feb1[2015amt]*([2015allocation]/1200) / [2015wrkdays]
Mar1[2015amt]*([2015allocation]/1200) / [2015wrkdays]
Apr1[2015amt]*([2015allocation]/1200) / [2015wrkdays]
etc etc for 12 months
So I need it to find the value for Jan in the Jan formula, and Feb in the feb formula etc. I cannot determine the correct query formula.

I would like to know if there is any procedure to restrict/stop auto number increment for certain number of record count (say 50), then increment by 1 for next 50 records.

I have a table with an auto number PK. This table will contain orders. I'd like to use the PK from this table as the Invoice number on the invoice. I'd like to have it start at a number other than "1" just because it looks better on an invoice. I don't know how to do this. I looked at the table design to see if there were options available to me there but couldn't find anything. Is it possible? (I do not know how to use code.)

Is it possible to have the user enter the number of top records to choose in a query?
I know that you can enter a number or percentage in the Top Values property of the query but I would like the user to be able to enter this number each time they run the query since it may be different each time and not always, say, the top 10 records.

Query that I have built to create a subform on one of my forms. It's my goal to make the subform easily navigable/query-able for the users, and that is where I've hit a roadblock. The subform contains a field - Balance - which I would like users to be able to search based on numeric/mathematic expressions (i.e. >0 and <40). In testing I have created a text box on the main form (BalanceCriteria), and linked it to the subform's balance field through the query in the Criteria field (forms!MainForm!BalanceCriteria).
This works fine with exact numbers - entering 19 will return client's with a balance of 19 - but returns an error - "Expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated" when tested with a numeric equation (>0).

Started a new thread: Rebuilt database and still working with auto number for multi user form. The code I have works for single user but not multi user. Also if someone opens the form and closes without adding anything to the form the number is used with blank record.
This is what I have thus far:
Private Sub Form_Current() Me.[PO] = Nz(DMax("[PO]", "tblPurchaseOrder"), 0) + 1
End Sub
