General :: Auto Generate ID Where Field Is Text Format
Jul 10, 2012
I have
Table called "Products"
Field 1= "Product ID" which is a text field (PK) but numbers are used (ie 1 -20)
Field 2= Products -showing our list of 20 products
When I enter a new product, currently I have to look in the table to find the last ID used then use the next one available. I have created a form to be used for data entry to enter new products
What I am trying to do is :- 1, have the form open at data entry level but still able to scroll and see all records and 2, Have the form auto generate the next number available. For example, I have 20 products entered so when the form opens to enter a new product, the ID is automatically at number 21. I know absol nothing about coding. I have looked at other suggestions on the forum incl the DMAX +1 and having tried and not worked, I wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.

I am in the process of creating a DB for customer names, job numbers and document numbers, but have run into a problem right from the start.We are using a naming convention of the first 3 letters of the customer name, and 3 numbers after that. Eg. Customer names Allstar, Allpro would be All001 and All002 respectively.
The job numbers would then be sequential numbers, for each customer. So the first job for Allstar would be All001-001 and so on.How do I get Access to check/create the customer ID's? And then how do I get Access to check for the next job number for each customer?I was able to do this in Excel with the following;
=LEFT(B12,3)&COUNTIF($B$3:B12,LEFT(B12,3)&"*") in one cell
=IF(B12="","",LEFT(D12,3)&TEXT(RIGHT(D12,1),"00")) in another to add the preceding zero's.
Obviosuly , Excel is not the best way of tracking customers, jobs, documents etc.

We have a large split database with 3 users on a single site. We will soon be increasing this to 6 users across 2 sites.
One of the fields in the main table is "report number" where a line is given a unique number. Not every line is given this number, as it depends on the finished status of the product.
The numbers are currently hand written onto a sheet as they are used, which obviously avoids duplicates. This however will be near on impossible once the database is shared across 2 sites.
the format of the number is 00/0000 where the first two digits are the year, and the last four increase sequentially.
Is there a reasonably easy way to incorporate this into the database itself, where a number can be generated as required, as apposed to every time?

I am looking to have entries made to the table based on a date range. I have a database of events and most repeat daily, weekly, etc. When I enter them into Access, they go in as a single entry with a start and end date. But I need to have them as individual entries for each day so that rather than one entry of 5 days, I need to create 5 entries of one day each.

I Have a table with 15000 entries. This table lists components we use. This table is used to generate queries/forms. I have been asked to add a hyperlink to this table to link to a drawing of the component. All the drawings are in PDF and in the same folder. I am looking for a way to automatically update the hyperlink fields all at once. The Hyperlink will be in the format of servershareddrawings12345.pdfwhere 12345 is the component name from the table.
But there are a few small problems with the component names.
1. If the component begins with a B- . The drawing name will be all the characters except when there is a second dash in the component. So if the component is B-12345-678 the drawing name will only be B-12345.
2. If The component begins with AB, The drawing will be the first 5 characters regardless of what follows, e.g. AB123.
3. Finally for all other components the full component name will be the drawing name.
Putting the naming to one side, how to go about auto generating the hyperlink. I have posted this in the table section, but maybe this should be in another section like queries or VBA.

Okay I have a report (rptHorneOstbergQuestionnaire) that is based on a query (qryrptHorneOstbergQuestionnaire). In the report I have a total (HOTotal) which is the result of an expression created in the qry. Based on this result I would like to generate text in a text field (HOType) that is found in the same report.
Basically if the field HOTOtal shows any vaue between:
16 and 30 then I want the unbound text field to show the text Definitely evening typw and so on ...(see case statement below)
I thought I could do a case statement on report open but I am getting an error that my expression contains no value.
Here is the case statement
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Select Case Me.HOTotal
Case 16 To 30
Me.HOType.Value = "Definitely evening type"
Case 31 To 41
Me.HOType.Value = "Moderately evening type"
Case 42 To 58
Me.HOType.Value = "Neither type"
Case 59 To 69
Me.HOType.Value = "Moderately morning type"
Case Else
Me.HOType.Value = "Definitely morning type"
End Select
End Sub
What else can I do?

Autofill text field using combo box selectionHello,
I'm trying to autofill a field on a form using MS-Access 2010 Web version sharepoint using macros without coding.
The form has an existing Combo Box field called Segment, using the row sources "REW", "WTT", "DBM".
A user begins filling out the form and eventually selects the Combo Box for Segment and selects any one of the segment no Multiple selection
There is another text field, which is actually alpha-numeric, called Job_No. I want this to autofill based on their Segment selection, using this format:
REW-YYMMDD-TTTT, or REW-131210-20001 for example, for today with the time displayed as military time and last Job No.(20001) for REW and Also for WTT (30001) as starting number.

I am connecting acces to oracle servers via ODBC .
In the table there is a date time stamp - format data type text:
20130225060621
I would like to convert so that it is recognised as a date so I can calculate against e.g. Now() or another standard date format.
this is what I am currently using (which is OK) BUT I need to calculate against the time also.
Current Check Point Date: CDate(Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],7,2) & "/" & Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],5,2) & "/" & Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],1,4))
I spoke to an IT guy who works in TOAD program and he gave me this SQL:
select to_date(dz_zpkt_ak,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')from orders where ordnr='4411310';
this is the format I would like but cant make this work.

Why selection gets stop from combo box when provide the control source ? If remove the control source then 1st text box is getting filled on basis of combo selection and 2nd text box value is not getting filled as describe above.

Hi,
I need the text in the field to allow both lower and upper case but when the user enters "i" (only 1) it changes to "I" , "ii" works just fine.
How can I stop this??
I guess I could write an event code like:
Dim LowerCase, UpperCase
UpperCase = Me![FieldName]
LowerCase = LCase(UpperCase)
If Me.[FieldName].Value = "i" Then
Me![FieldName].Value = LowerCase
Else...
Any other ideas????
Thanks
Paul

Does anyone know how to write a simple method of having a text box on a form default to the first day of the current month. i.e. 01/05/2005 and then a second one equalling the last day of the current month i.e. 31/05/2005?
I can make it simply default to today by having the obvious =now() or =date() in the default section but i am bit stumped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Alex

I have a field in a query that contains numbers and text (text field). The numbers displayed come from a percent calculation and display with many decimals ie, .99898745987245. Is there a way to eliminate the decimals with code in the query field? For example .99898745987245 to equal 99%? I can’t format the field as a number or percent because it has both text and numbers. HELP!!
Thanks

Well I have been searching but have not exactly found the answer I need so:
I have a linked table in my database. One of the fields on the source table is a date field but the data type is Text. So there is data in the field that represents dates but they are formatted as text like this:
090506
101106
120506
I need the field data to behave as a date, any ideas? I can't change the source data type.
Then...at some point I want to produce a query that shows all records with a date earlier than the current days date...in pointers in the right direction on that will be appreciated also.
Thanks!

I've noticed that Access has a few default "fixes" for text in a field. For instance, if I type "aBBB" then tab to the next field (whether in a table, a form or anywhere else), Access will autocorrect that to "Abbb". This is really helpful if I leave caps lock on and am trying to type names, such as "aLEX" being changed to "Alex".
Is there a way to make it auto capitalize everything in the field? I don't want to turn such a thing on for every field, just for some select fields. Perhaps some sort of self-correcting mask, whatever you would call something like that, that I could apply to various fields.
