General :: Creating Unique Sequential / Reference Number Every Time Report Is Printed

Feb 15, 2013

I have a rental database and I print several contacts for leases etc. what I want to do is have a unique reference number or something inserted to the report every time that it's printed. What I am trying to achieve is to keep track of which tenant corresponds to the report (Lease) printed by using reference number.

There is a seperate form which holds the tenants details and I would like to have a field on that form which would show the same reference number as the report so I can track which report was printed for who.

Whats the best/easiest way to accomplish this?

Queries :: Adding Sequential Numbers To Generate A Unique Reference Number

Oct 5, 2013

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

General :: Creating Auto-Sequential Order Number

May 6, 2013

I am trying to create an auto-sequential order number

Example : AB000112 - AB is standard prefix, ''0001'' is the first invoice number, ''12'' is the year 2012.

so the next order number should read AB000212 and the next AB000312

Out of this, I have to issue several debit notes relating to the same order number when the payments are due from customers over a period of time, this will be

001AB000112
002AB000112
003AB000112

Can such numbers be the primary key?

General :: Creating Unique Ordered Number Field With Auto Shifting Values

May 31, 2013

I'm creating a database using existing data from an excel file full of contact details. What I need to add is a queue type system where each contact in the database has a "Place in Queue" number which is unique obviously.

Lets say Alan is number 1, Bob is 2 and Chris is 3. They have these corresponding numbers in the queue field for their entries.

Now what I need to have, through use of a form, is a way of changing Chris from number 3 in the queue to number 1 and thus have Alan automatically shift down to number 2 and Bob to 3.

Modules & VBA :: Create Unique Reference Number Based On Field Values For Record

Jun 18, 2015

I want Access to automatically generate a reference number for a record based on the values in on two other fields for a given record using a form.

The first field is called Operation Number.

The second is Bag Number.

The reference number needs to be in this format: 19C.3.1

Where 19C is the Operation Number, 3 is the bag number, and 1 is automatically generated. Additionally I need the last number --the automatically generated one--to go back to 1 if with each new bag number.

This is kind of like library catalog numbers. Not sure how to do this.

Tables :: Creating A Unique Invoicing Number?

Aug 19, 2013

What I have is a small POS system I'm trying to create a unique invoice number for each transaction (multiple records)

I have two tables, one named "CurrentTransactions" and one named "Past Transactions".

I have everything working except the invoice number my system works by adding pre defined records into the table "CurrentTransactions" and once the sale has been finalised it transfers the data to the "PastTransactions" table.

take the last number from the "PastTransactions"."InvoiceNumber" to create an invoice number in the "CurrentTransactions", and I want to be able to do it using an expression in the default value property as opposed to in the form ( I've tried the form way but using Dmax would require me to almost rebuild my entire POS system )

Unique Sequential Numbers

Nov 22, 2004

Hello,

I have a field called "Project #" that needs to generate a unique number each time a command button is clicked. For example, when the button is clicked the blank "Project #" field is filled in with "653001". After the "Project #" field is filled in the button also runs a code to create a report exported into Excel. This report will only have the records with the Project Number of "653001".
Then, when more records are added and it's the end of the next week, the button is clicked again and the "new" blank "Project #" fields will be filled with the next Project number which would be "643002". A report will again be created but now with only the records with the Project number of "643002".
The first three characters will always be the same for the Project Number "653" but the last three will increase whenever the button is clicked to update any new records that have a blank "Project #". So, it should look like: 653001, 653002, 653003, 653004, etc.

I know it sounds confusing but I hope someone can help.

Thank!
Elizabeth

Unique Reference Numbers?

Jul 4, 2005

Hey guys,

Hope you can help with this one. I have a form called "frmPatientID", based on a query "qryPatientID" and table "tblPatientID".

I have a field called HospitalNo that is set to "text" and contains the patient's unique hosptal number of 123456, 008777, etc.

However, although the above numbers have to be unique, if the patient is out of the area they get a number of 000000 and this is not unique (i.e. more than one patient can be out of the hospitals area).

So how do I get the database to control this via a rule? (As in everything NOT 000000 needs to be unique). Is it on the form on an AfterUpddate or can I do it in the table?

Many thanks,

Rusty
:D

Unique Reference Based On PK And User Selection

Nov 10, 2005

Hello,

I am trying to create a unique reference number that includes the default autonumber and another count based on what the user selects from a dropdown (B).

For example, the reference might look something like these examples:

AutoDropdwnADropdwnBCount
001DrinkMocha1
002DrinkEGrey1
003DrinkEspresso1
004DrinkLatte1

005DrinkEGrey2
006DrinkEGrey3
007DrinkEGrey4

008DrinkEspresso2
009DrinkLatte2
010DrinkEspresso3

I will eventually create a unique reference by combining all the data (ie: 004-Drink-Latte-1, 010-Drink-Espresso-3) but it will allow me to number each type of drink in ascending order irrespective of the autonumber (which is the primary key.)

I would appreciate any advice on how to approach this! I am baffled!

Thanks,

dj_T

Message If Report Has Already Been Printed

Mar 13, 2006

Dear all, im trying to display a message to the user if a particular report has already been printed.

I have an unbound form with 2 (unbound) combo boxes one named “shift name” the other “shift date” and a button that prints a report (runs a print macro) based on what the user selects in these 2 combo boxes. I have a table (named “Table_shiftdates”) which stores all the shift names & shift dates + I have created a new Yes/no field named “printed?”.

(I’ve attached a pic, which may help explain what I currently have)

I believe I need to somehow set the yes/no field in this table too yes (or true) when a particular shift name and shift date has been printed.

Then do a check when the user clicks on the print button in this form to see if the yes/no field is set to true for the shift + date they select in the form, if it is true display a message such as: “Warning this report has already been printed”

Other than that I’m stumped and not what I need to do from here, anyone please help me out?

Cheers, Jim

Creating Multiple / Sequential Crosstab Columns From One Field

Jan 3, 2013

Number of Operators per Permit

Permit
Operator Name
6
065-24088
EOG RESOURCES INC
6
065-24088
PDC MOUNTAINEER LLC

[code]....

I want to take this data and create six new columns (operator1; operator2; operator3; operator4; operator5; operator6) for each permit number so that each unique operator name will be housed in each of those six columns, with the rows being defined by the permit number. So, I want to produce something that looks like this...

Permit

operator1
operator2

[code]....

At present, there are as many as 6 operators per permit, but the number of operators per permit varies from 1 to 6. I included an example that has 5 operators, to show that I want the sixth column to be null in this instance. So if a permit had only one operator, only the operator1 field would take on a non-null value in the new table/query.I know how to do this with 2 operators per permit by using min/max or first/last functions in a query, but I don't know how to deal with more than two operators per permit.

Sequential Number

Jan 22, 2007

Hello, I am very new to access and I am trying to create a simple sytem to help us create part numbers. We are using a 2 digit descriptor to help define the part some. Then we want to add a sequential 7 digit number on to that.

Example:

01 (is electrical)
02 (Shop supplies)
etc....

So...

01-0000001 would be a part number for an electrical part.

I do not understand how to have access add the zeros to the front. I would also like to be able to jump a bit out of line to reserve part numbers for certain projects and also include some that we already have.

If this make any sense to anyone, any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
james

Close A Form After All Report Have Printed

Jan 12, 2006

Hello all,

I have a form that takes info from another form and then adds some from it's own data and then it proceeds to print a bunch of reports based on what tests were done etc. When I just print them (With preview) I have a function in the first report that prints (in its Close event) to close the form. No problem. I have a new slick little pdf thing that automatically names the files and puts them in the right spot etc. With this, after the first report is printed it closes thereby closing the form which needs to be open for the rest of the reports to open. Just put the close event on the last report that prints you say? I don't always know which report will be that last, it depends on the tests.

How can I check to see when all the reports have been printed and then close the form. Is there some way to have the form close itself after a certain time? Am I going to have to make the users close the form themselves?
Let me know if this is confusing. Upon reading over this it does sound a bit confusing. Thank you for your help and patience.

Greg

Sequential Number Problem

Nov 10, 2006

I've tried using DMax codes shared by the generous members of this group. But i can't get the results i needed. :-(

My table consists of the following fields:

ColID - PK
PolID - FK
AmountPaid
ORDate
ORNo

I added another field which i named "ColNo" - this field should assign a sequential number to a new payment record for a specific PolID.

My table looks like this:

ColID PolID AmountPaid ORDate
11125 123 2,000 10-Sep-06
11126 123 2,000 10-Oct-06
11127 123 2,000 10-Nov-06
11128 456 1,000 8-Aug-06
11129 456 1,000 8-Sep-06
11130 789 4,000 21-Aug-06

Again, my idea is to create a sequential number for the ColNo field:

ColID PolID AmountPaid ORDate ColNo
11125 123 2,000 10-Sep-06 1
11126 123 2,000 10-Oct-06 2
11127 123 2,000 10-Nov-06 3
11128 456 1,000 8-Aug-06 1
11129 456 1,000 8-Sep-06 2
11130 789 4,000 21-Aug-06 1

I placed the code Nz{DMax("field name","table name"),0)+1 on the control source of the ColNo field and i also tried copying numerous similar codes to the BeforeInsert, OnCurrent, etc.. events, but the result is ALWAYS THE NEXT MAXIMUM NUMBERFOR THE "ENTIRE" POLID.

What i mean is, if i enter a new record, it would give me a sequential number of "4". I figured out this is because 3 is the last maximum number as i have shown on my sample table. Even if i use the PolID "789", the number shown on the ColNo field results to "4".

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN "2". Considering that the last ColNo used for PolID 456 was "1".

Hope someone could help me on this..


Thanks!
Sheila
