General :: Auto Generate Report Number When Required
Jul 1, 2013
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'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?
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.
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 wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.
Hi i am new to Ms access, and i wanted to know how i could go about to create an auto generating number field that contains letters and numbers, e.g. a computer serial number.
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.
I want to input a number value in [field1], then i want [field2] to generate an auto number BUT i want it to increase based on [field1] THEN combine them into [field3] creating a unique SKU for every item I have.
EXAMPLE1: I will type in [field1]: "001234". [field2]will enter "000001" because it is the first occurrence of "001234" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "001234-00001" EXAMPLE2: I will type in [field1]: "002468". [field2]will enter "000001" because it is the first occurrence of "002468" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "002468-00001" EXAMPLE3: I will type in [field1]: "001234". [field2]will enter "000002" because it is the second occurrence of "001234" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "001234-00002"
I am creating a database relates to hospital medical equipment using Access 2003. Using VBA code, I want to generate an AutoNumber for each Equipment falling under different Equipment and different Hospital.
Ex: DGG-ECG-001 DGG-ECG-002 DGG-XRY-001 WBH-ECG-001 WBH-XRY-001 WBH-XRY-002 and so on.....
Where DGG & WBH are Hospital Codes (PK in tblHospitalCodes) ; ECG & XRY are Equipment Codes (PK in tblEquipmentCodes) ; last 3 digit denotes the AutoNumber.Both the Hospital & the Equipment select using combo box then generates the AutoNumber Using command Button.
I have a table called bookings, three records within that table are;
arrivaldate departuredate breakfast
This Table (Bookings) is linked to the guest table via GUESTID..Assuming that a guest arrive on the 5th and leaves on the 10th, I am trying to create a breakfast voucher for the guest for each day of their stay.
So 5 vouchers, 1 each for the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th.I have created the breakfast voucher as a report and a query to include data but I dont know how to propagate the new data to actually create the vouchers. All I can get is data for the arrival or departure fields.
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.
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

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 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 am trying to use access to connect to SQLServer with an insert query. I need to generate alphanumeric number for each record. The letter will move to the right as the alphanumeric number increase.
For example: A0001 , A0002.... -> A9999 0A000, 0A001 ... => 0A999 1A000, 1A001 ... => 1A999 2A000, 2A001 ...2A999 9A000,9A001 ...=>9A999 00A00, 00A01 ... => 99A99 000A0, 000A1 ... > 999A9 0000A....=> 9999A Last number will be 9999A
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.)
I have a stored procedure created in SQL SERVER 2008r2
I have a form in access adp project with combo boxes, when I click the submit button I want the values chosen to be the parameters and the stored procedure called to generate a report
I want to create a report for the Monthly cleaning plan of a hotel. For each day, how many rooms need new sheets, how many need new towels etc.
At this point I can generate a report for any given day.
This could be an example of what I want to achieve
Code: ------------ Date | Date+1 | Date+2 | Date+3 New Sheets 2 1 0 2 New Towels 1 3 0 1 Full Clean 0 1 2 0
"Date" is a date tat you can set, after which you'll get the following 30 days("Date+1","Date+2" etc)
I thought that a CrossTab query would give me what I want,but using the wizzard I can't get the result that I want. Haven't worked with crosstab queries before so maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe this isn't even possible with a crosstab query.
I am using a barcode font in order to generate a number as a barcode on my report records. In order for my barcode scanner to read the barcode it needs an asterisk at the beginning and at the end.
So, if my record ID is 62 - in order for the barcode to be displayed correctly, it needs to be on the report as *62* .
Without digressing into a discussion on barcode methods in Access, how can I precede and succeed each ID number field with an asterisks?
First off, can it be done? I'm using Microsoft Access 2007, I'm wanting to generate an auto-number on the report. Basically I have an OrderTable, a PartTable, and a PackingListTable. I have a report that shows all orders ready to be shipped. But I need the shipping report to have a packing list number. I want this number to be auto-generated, and I was hoping I could do this when the report is opened. Right now the report is generated through a query of orders that are ready to be shipped. Yet I can't figure out how to put an auto-generated packing number on the report.
I am creating a file and I am not stuck on the last part. I have to keep track of which numbers of a particular item is sold due to serial number tracking. Items are bundled in sets of 50 so I need to form to auto populate the next set of numbers (by 50) when I create a new line.
I found how to change my start number to 1751 but I can not find how to have a Begining number of 1751 Ending number 1800 and have the next line auto populate begin $ 1801 end # 1850. I have a feeling it will not be the Auto Number option and I am sure there is another way but I just can't find it.
before ACCESS Excel was used to create orders etc,we are up to order number 16223 now I have access and the auto number will start at 1.how can I get the auto number to start at 16223.
I have a BE database that we have been using for over a year. I imported data from an external database into this database. Now I've found that my Autonumber has reset to a very low number -- that was imported from my external database. Is there a way to change this autonumber BACK to what it was and increment up? The lowest autonumber in this database is 275944, so I don't have to worry about duplicates in the near future. I would like it reset to 457230, or at least higher than that number.
