General :: How To Generate Alphanumeric Number With A Floating Letter
Aug 7, 2012
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

Me.[InvoiceNumber] = (DMax("[InvoiceNumber]", "[tblInvoiceNumber]") + 1)
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
End If

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 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 wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.

Dear All,
I know that there may have been many posts on this and I have searched for a total of about 2 hours in these forums before posting, so please don't shoot me down for asking this.
I simply need to know how I can create a unique, alphanumeric order number. I was going to use Autonumber, but from what I have read on these forums, that is not the way to go, as Autonumber is simply to identify the record.
What I need is an number like so: ST000. It needs to start at ST142 and increase by one each time. Obviously I would like to avoid gaps from records being deleted or not completed etc.....
I really have no clue how to do this, and would appreciate it if anyone can point me to a post that would help, or offer me the solution.
Thanks,

I want to know if there's a way to sort alphanumeric fields where the number of digits aren't always the same.
Example: I have the following: 2a, 10a, 3a.
Currently, it sorts: 10a, 2a, 3a.
Is there a way to get it to sort 2a, 3a, 10a without adding a 0 before 2a and 3a?

I have an existing form where users type in information and it generates a couple of reports. In one of the fields, Customer PO Number, the user enters a number from a customer. Up until yesterday all of the customers we have been dealing with have used numbers only for their PO numbers. However, we have a new customer that requires alphanumeric PO's. Is there a simple way to change this field from a number to alphanumeric without having to redo each form, report and/or query. I am using MS Access 2010.

I have a table having the following fields:
StaffNo TextField PrimaryKey
Name
....
...
The data in StaffNo will be alpha numeric, like AKA-111, AKA-112, LMN-100, LMN-102
Here AKA and LMN describes the Sites where employee is working.
On Add New Employee, When user enter AKA- in StaffNo, on exit the next number on that site should be generated. i.e AKA-113.

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.

Hi,
I have a database in which info is imported from a flatfile.
In the database I have a query to select relevant info to appear on a report for invoicing.
Now the imported info adds a number in a column for all rows.
example: it adds 9600 to all invoices, based on the info that is imported.
Now I want the import and export invoices to be separate, and the numbers to display 9600A and 9600B.
Is there something I can add to the query in order to get this result?
Thx,
Lion85heart
Reading this, I think it might be a bit unclear, so pls. ask any questions that you might have.

Hi i have to design a member database in access,
As the membership number i need to use the first letter of the surname,
then have an auto number.
e.g Smith, if the last member was S47 then Smith would need to be S48,
This will be used on a form for a video hire shop, so, the customer details
will be entered, is it possible for this auto number to work just by putting the name in
the surname field?
I only know basic Access so please help.
Thanks a lot
Nick

Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me with a validation rule for a table.
What I require is for you only be able to enter specific data, for example the first character must be a number and be 7, 8 or 9, and the second character entered must be a letter, only letters available are A, B, C, D, E, N and S. For example these will be accepted 9C 8D 7B 7S 7D 8E, other will not (3S, 7G, B8)
Can anyone tell me what it is i enter into the validation rule box or direct me to any online help with this.
Thx

I'm working on a database to organize and streamline the process that the manufacturing facilities in my organization use to request removal of defective product and raw materials. Currently all of the facilities send me their requests on individual excel spreadsheets via email, which are difficult to keep track of and report on since nothing is consolidated. What I've done is create a form in access that mirrors the current spreadsheet being used, so all the facilities have to do is enter the info into the access form rather than excel. The use of access is more for my benefit than theirs though, as it will keep track of the requests as well as make reporting on the request data much simpler.
When the facilities fill out the request form and select their facility number from a drop down list, I'm wanting them to be provided with a "Request ID" so that they may keep track of the progress of the request. The request ID should be a sequential alphanumeric value that includes the facility's three digit facility code, the last two digits of the year, and the number of the request. An example would be PL1-150001. The kicker here is that I want each facility to have it's own set of sequential numbers. So for example let's say I receive four requests in one week, three from facility 1 and one from facility 2. They should be assigned request ID's such as PL1-150001, PL1-150002, PL1-150003, and PL2-150001.

I am working on a database for our health services office, which includes a table "Tbl_Patients"
THe Key in this table is a number the office will enter. They have an ID number for existing patients that they will use when they come in.
However, should a new patient come to the office, they would like for the database to assign a new number, the first one starting at 4000.
I would like to put a command button on the new patient form that says "Assign Number" and have that number generated and used as the new ID.
THis may not be real clear, so ask if you have any questions
Thanks in advance!

Hi There
Looking to see if there is an easy solution to this problem I have.
I have a table which holds order information, the primary key for this table is orderID which is an autonumber.
The field in question is order number, which has a default value of "JJO"00000, which I have started manually at JJO10001, is there anyway i can get my database to automatically increment this number to save me from keep checking the last order number produced.
Lost count of the number of times I have gave the same order number to numerous customers.
Thanks
