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.
When I create a new record I am also generating a new Auto Number. This is so I have a sure fire way of returning the records that I want to return. I have read where it is a known issue that when using the Compact and Repair it can reset the Auto Number to a lower number and generate a duplicate Auto Number. That is the problem that I have at this time. I have tried using the Allen code but it doesn't seem to worked on linked tables. I use linked tables because I have multiple users who can access this system at any given point in time.how to have the Auto Number field select a number that is unique
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 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.
Here is my issue. In a table with an Auto Number index some records have been deleted. I have been able to recreate them along with their original auto number. The problem is that I do not know how to append these records forcing the original auto number. I have tried changing the auto number field to a number field in the table, this works except I cannot change it back to auto number.
I am sure I’m not the first with this question or issue. I did search through a couple hundred entries about auto number before I posted this question.
I am trying to create a database to manage some project related functions. the main thing I want it to do is manage the resource allocation and costs related to fixed price projects and ultimately be able to produce reports that show the Bid vs Forecast vs Actual in relation to someones time and hence cost.in building the first table which I want to store the initial Bid data. I have a need to have fields automatically generate based on the value of two other fields. this is used to identify how long the project will run for.
for example: prject start date of 1/1/2014 project end date of 31/12/2014
Auto Generate 12 fields in which to put the monthly resource usage for each resource.
I have a small .mdb for invoicing. Till now I had to put invoice number, which had two parts, manually for the first part, for example 001 or 002 and automatically for the second part as Date part. So I had, for example 2006 or 2007. The complete number was, for example 001/2006 etc.
The problem was New Year. Now, all previous invoices from 2006 have 2007 extension and the first parts are not starting form 001 but they continue.
Hi, I'm trying to make a database where a Date and a Service Number is entered into a form.
I have 2 buttons, one to automatically enter the Current Date and the second to automatically enter the Service Number.
The service number is incrimented by 1 each time and reset for every day.
eg.
Date Service Number January 1, 2005 1 January 1, 2005 2 January 1, 2005 3 January 2, 2005 1 January 2, 2005 2 January 5, 2005 1 January 5, 2005 2
I already have the button that enters the Current Date. However, I am having trouble with the second button.
How can I code the button so that it searches the table for the Current Date and finds the record with the greatest service number for that date? After this is done, I want to create code that will automatically enter the next service number into the Service Number Textbox on the form.
eg. Using the Example Table Above The date January 5, 2005 is entered into the Date Text Box and the Search Next Service Number button is pressed. The number '3' should show up in the Service Number Textbox
Sorry if its hard to understand, but thanks anyways.
I just realized that I placed this in the wrong forum, Sorry for the inconvenience.
I need some help here and any would be muchly apprieciated.
I am building a database for a theme park fast pass system where a customer can book themselves a place on a ride at three session times a day.
Now my problem is, that I need to generate a card number. 5555 1946 as the first 8 digits (this always stays the same) and then the last 8 digits is the customer ID number, which is in the same table. So there are 16 digits in total.
Let me give you an example:
A new customer registers and are assigned a customer ID of 1000 0001. Therefore the Card Number for that customer must be 5555 1946 1000 0001.
I have used auto number for customer ID so when a new customer signs up, there ID is 1 more that highest already in te database.
I'm using the following code to generate a sequential number"
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() Me.txtReceivedDate = Now() 'assign an EmailID when form loads Dim CurMax As Long Dim NewMax As Long 'poll the current EmailIDs for the largest number from current year and add 1
[Code] ....
Until recently, I didn't have any criteria on the DMax and it worked perfectly. It's now been decided that the EmailID should reset back to 1 when the calendar year changes.*
*EmailID is not my primary key - There is a separate autonumber field used as the primary key.
The table I'm using the DMax on has a field named ReceivedDate which stores a Now() when a record is created. The form I'm working in has a textbox named txtReceivedDate that is set to Now() when the form loads as can be seen in the code above.
What I'm trying to use as my criteria in the DMax is to match the Year() of ReceivedDate in tblEmails to the Year() of txtReceivedDate on the form.
For 2013, the current max (CurMax) EmailID is 21. If I set my computers date back to 2012 (where the CurMax is 3) the txtEmailID is still being populated with 22, even though txtReceivedDate shows a 2012 date.
I've tried a handful of permutations of the criteria string:
I've tried a few others long the way that I don't even remember, but there's probably little value in listing all the ways that don't work.
I've got a syntax issue within the criteria since it's the first time I've tried to use one and it contains a couple moving parts.
Once I get this sorted out a follow on question is about dealing with the users changing the txtReceivedDate to a different year. As of now, I have the same code (everything except "Me.txtReceivedDate = Now()") also present in txtReceivedDate_LostFocus(), but I'm not sure that's the best place for it.
I am wondering if it is possible to calculate scores automatically based on the number of tick boxes the users have selected? If yes, how do I go about doing this feature?
Hi every body. I wonder how i can generate and load a report when a button is clicked on access 2000 form. I be happy if some one show me an example.Thanks
am working on report generation on performance of my department. I need help to develop in Access. If anyone can help me in developing it? i had started with tables. If u have some spare time, please mail me at nrmarthi@hotmail.ca.
created a form with several Drop downs, S/N, Location, Manufacturer, Model, Model Number, and Owner.
All the drop downs are based off of forms, i queried the main inventory to have this info and a couple peaces of information. applied the relationships.
If i try to make a macro filtering the conditions, if i leave any of the fields blank nothing comes up in the search.
is there a VB code that i can use that wont include "null" fields or will this not work with 6 different filters applied all in one macro.
furthermore after the search i want the ability to print the search results using a report design.
Hello guys, I have created a form which generates the data into new access database,now I have to show a message "Processing" while data gets generated. And when its done this message should go away by itself,so any suggestion please let me know.
I have a database with a bunch of related tables. One holds information on (let's say) types of food. A field in that table tells whether the food is HOT or COLD. Foods are grouped by MEALS in a related table - the PK of the foods table is stored as an field in the MEALS table. What people here are looking for is a report that lists all the foods in each MEAL, the temperature of the food, and whether the meal is HOT, COLD, or MIXED - foods are both HOT and COLD. I've got a report that lists all the FOODs, grouped by MEALs - it's just the overall temperature of the MEAL that I am missing right now.
I am trying to run simple query make a chart in report through this query but its not generating chart?
SELECT [Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition].[Inspection Audit], Count([Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition].[Inspection Audit]) AS [CountOfInspection Audit] FROM [Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition] WHERE ((([Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition].Date) Between [Forms]![frmSafetyReportOut]![startDate] And [Forms]![frmSafetyReportOut]![endDate])) OR ((([Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition].Department)=[Forms]![frmSafetyReportOut]![cboDepartment])) GROUP BY [Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition].[Inspection Audit] HAVING ((([Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition].[Inspection Audit]) Is Not Null) AND ((Count([Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition].[Inspection Audit])) Is Not Null));
I want to know if it is possible to generate reports in writable PDF format? Also, is it possible to send the report automatically to a list of emails recorded in the Access db using Outlook?
I have a report that is purely for points gained from products. Each product is split into 3 (e.g. Investment A, B + C) and there is a indicator that means the points gained can be added up (e.g. I for Investment and S for Savings).
I have made the report which is many unbound fields. There is a summary section for all points added together with fields Total Amount, Monthly Target, Quarterly Amount and Quarterly Target.
Then the report is split into each of the 4 products (Each of these have different amounts of points. Number indicates it):
Investments (10), Savings (15), Pensions (15) and Protection of Life Savings (20).
Each of these have 4 fields - Total Amount, Target Amount, Quarterly Amount and Quarterly Target.
I need a way to generate these point scores using the Product_Points field. I already have Quarterly Target and Target Amount because there is a set field called Points_Annual_Target.
EDIT: I also don't want it to come up with the 'insert parameters' so all the info is one page.
Basically what I would like to do is create a Combo Box with each month of the year available to select. When I click on a specific month, I want it to pop open a Report based on my table that is filtered by the month I selected. I have a Date column already created in my base table to be my filtering device.
I've already learned how to use query's and reports a bit. I have a Command Button on my form that launches a report based on a query that only shows data for the current year. Likewise, I created one that only shows data for things with a specific item code using a [Which Item Code?] criteria in my query. So in theory, I could do this by creating 12 different buttons, 12 different query's, and 12 different reports. That seems like overkill though and it would seem there has to be an easier way to do that simply by using a combo box to select the month you want to filter.
I would like to know if there is any procedure to restrict/stop auto number increment for certain number of record count (say 50), then increment by 1 for next 50 records.
i have a table on my database from which i generate a monthly report by running a query. when i run the query (date from to date to) i have no problem. it shows me all the relevant records. when i want to generate a report, i input the start date and the closing date for the report. it then gives me an error (reserved error (-1524); there is no message for this error.) i have gone into the table and basically isolated all the corrupted entries. there are 359
what i need to know is how to repair these entries without losing the information. im new to access and this is a simple(kinda) database which i set up to keep track of what the staff in my department are doing on a daily basis.
