Primary Key With Date And Increment

Apr 7, 2006

I'm not sure if it's a simple task, keep in mind I'm new to using access. We have a need at work for a small db just to keep track of some things and access seems appropriate.

I was attempting to set up the primary key in a date / increment format.

Basically the format would be year, month, day, increment (starting at 001)

060125-001
060125-002
060125-003

etc

next day I would like the key to change according to date and reset the increment to start again at 001

060126-001
060126-002

etc

I do realize they are different data types, I'm just not sure how to attack setting it up. Thank you in advance for any help / suggestions. :)

Automatically Generate Number And Increment

Mar 13, 2007

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

Automatically Creating A Primary Key Without Autonum

Jun 2, 2005

I'm pretty new to access and I've been working on a pretty complex project...

Anyways, my first problem I'm having is that I want Microsoft Access to automatically create a key number. This number depends only on the year, and then it would concatonate another number.

Example: 5-3000, then 5-3001, 5-3002... The five corresponds to the year, and the other part is just incrementing by one for each new record.

What would be the best way to do this? I don't necessarily need the dash in there, it could simply read 53000, 53001, 53002, etc.

Thanks for the help!

General :: No More Records Available To Give Message

Dec 11, 2013

I have a table that is a list of available UPC codes that through forms are being assigned to several different tables (types of items). When the UPC code is assigned, there is a yes/no box which is checked. I need to have a message box appear when the last of these UPC codes has been used (or better yet perhaps when there are a specific number left - such as 10 - so the user isn't all of a sudden locked out of any more work).

It could even be triggered when a specific UPC code is reached - they will be in numerical order (ignoring the check digit). Is there anyway to do this globally or would the check need to be on each form as the UPC is assigned?

General :: Autonumber - Increment Only If Row Above Is Different

Mar 11, 2014

I urgently need to generate sequential numbers (not unique - duplicates are needed as & when) via an Update Query for one field in all my rows for an Access table .. I want to call this field SalesReceipt

Another field on the same row called 'OrderID' will be the field to 'test' against (this field value is populated via a CSV import)

I need the check/logic to be along the lines of.....

If the OrderID value of this row is exactly the same as OrderID value of the row above, then don't auto increment the SaleReceipt number ....if the Order ID of this row is different to the 'OrderID ' value in the preceding row...then increment the SalesReceipt number.

How can I go about this? Essentially I need to test against the value of a field one row above against the same field in the present row....can this be done in access (perhaps using the primary key as a way of looking up the row above...becuase the primary keys will always be one number apart between rows?)

The way I've been approaching such sales receipt number generation up until now, in Excel the formula I used was this....

=IF(A3="","",IF(A3=A2,B2,B2+1)) Assuming data to be tested against started in A2, then In B2 type '1' (this being the first sales receipt number). In B3 past the formula & drag down.

But I really need to achieve the same via Access...

Decrement Field Value By 1, Using A Single Query

Dec 15, 2005

Hi,

I have a product table in Access, like this:

product_id | product_name | product_quantity



I need to be able to do an SQL update on this table to subtract 1 from the product_quantity field.

I could do this with two SQL queries (SELECT product_quantity, then subtract 1, then UPDATE table) but I'm sure there must be a way just to run one query which subtracts 1 from the field.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Any help would be fantastic, thanks!

General :: Increment Database Version Number By 1

Feb 11, 2014

I am working on a section of code that when a user clicks a button it looks at a table called TBLVersion and increments the version number. The version number format is 1.0.1 what I need the code to do is increment the last digit by one for example to "1.0.2". I got the flowing code to work in excel but could not figure out how to translate it to access.

=LEN(A1)-SEARCH(".",A1,SEARCH(".",A1)+1)
=RIGHT(A1,B1)

General :: Possible To Have Manual Primary Keys?

Jul 11, 2013

why Access requires primary keys to be automatically generated so that there are no redundancies.We have a specific agreement with another organization that involves different billing system in which they send us purchase orders, each with a unique invoice number, that includes orders for one or more events.In my events table I have included a field to manually enter the PO number for this organization when it's needed.

I would like to have another table for the PO's with a one-to-many relationship with the events table (since each PO may cover multiple events). Is it possible to use this manually entered PO number field as a primary key to establish the relationship?

General :: Assigning Primary Key Value To Record

Mar 31, 2013

I have an access form which includes my primary key field "ID". Normally when I use this form to enter a new record this field displays "(New)" until I enter data in any other field, then the ID field updates to reflect the new value. This worked fine when the table I was adding the record to was a table linked from another access database.

I recently moved my data to SQL Server 2008, without making any other changes to the application, and this behavior has changed. Now when I enter data into a new record the ID field changes to "NULL". And I am not able to reference this value in my program (Me.ID) like I used to be able to. When I save the record the ID field gets assigned and everything works as normal.

So I am able to make my application work again by forcing the record to save before trying to reference Me.ID, but why the behavior changed when my table moved from Access to SQL Server.

General :: Select Record Based On Primary Key

Mar 12, 2013

I have an existing database with multiple tables. Two tables have the same primary key Cab#.

1. When user clicks on the form on the menu form, I want to request the Cab# value from the user.
2. Then I want to get the record from the first table CabData based on the entered Cab#.
3. Then I want to create a new record for the second table Rides with five fields from CabData table inserted into the Rides record.
4. Then I want to display the new Rides record to the user for updating.
5. Then I want to save the new record to the RIDES table.

What is the ACCESS termonolgy to do each step? Are there any special details I should watch for?

General :: How To Combine 2 Tables With Same Primary Key To Make One Table

Oct 18, 2012

How to I combine 2 tables with the same primary key to make one table? I have seen several thigns but none have worked. I seen inner and outer joins. All 4 of my tables have the same primary key. I just want to combine all the tables to make one table. I have a form with subforms but if I can combine all the tables and work off one rather then 4 I will be happier. Every week to 2 weeks I upload new data from excel. How would I after I add the new data combine all tables to one super table?

General :: Record Is Deleted / Index Or Primary Key Cannot Contain A Null Value

Sep 23, 2014

I've designed a DB in access which has a BackEnd and 2 FrontEnds (one person insert all the records and the others just keep inserting infos till the process is finished.The DB has 12 tables and we used it for about 6 months without having any trouble but recently (2 weeks ago) i've add 3 new tables and then related them to one table that already exist.

The DB was running smoothly for a week after the changes but last monday (09/15) the "Record is deleted" appeared. I've compacted and repaired an the following errors descriptions appeared:

ErrorCode: -1017
ErrorDescription: Record is deleted.
ErrorTable: tblFatura

ErrorCode: -1053
ErrorDescription: Index or primary key cannot contain a Null value.
ErrorTable: tblFatura

ErrorCode: -1630
ErrorDescription: You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'TblExpense'.
ErrorTable: tblFatura

I've restored the file via IT using the Backup2 days before the error occurred but after 30 minutes the same error appeared! I dont know if it is related to the new tables that i have add or no?

General :: Auto-populating Rows Based On Primary Key

Jul 24, 2012

I have an infopath form, which people in my company can fill out to order parts. The form is linked to an Access database. The primary keys for the database are the Order Number and the Line Number (where the specific part info is in the system). The form also takes info about who entered the order, when they entered it, etc.

My problem is that while the form will be used for only one order, it may be used to order multiple parts. So the infopath form has a repeating section with a table where they can enter multiple line numbers and part names, etc.If I use the form to enter just one part, everything works great. But when I use the repeating section to add multiple parts, the information specific to the repeating section is added to the database but the rest of the information (who entered, when the entered, etc) isn't.

My intial idea was that since the first part is entered correctly and the subsequent parts are missing some information which is already in another line in the database. Maybe if there was a way to pull the information from another line into the lines with missing info within access would solve my problem. So basically automatically populating the rows with matching Order Numbers with the information that is missing.
