I am trying to incorporate a field in my customer order form for "Invoice Number". Not every customer order form will have an invoice number.
The Invoice Number field will default as null, or blank. I want to make it so the Invoice Number gets automatically populated ONLY IF another field on the same form is populated with "X".
Also, I would like the Invoice Number to equal the Previous Record that has an invoice number + 1. For example, if the previous 5 client records did not have an invoice number (blank because the client's form did not have a certain field populated with "X"), but the previous 6th record had an invoice number of 1001, then the current invoice number would be 1002.
So far, I just have the Form for the underlying table created. I don't have the invoice field in the table created yet. Not too sure where to start.
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 am working on a form and need it to be able to generate a random number to use as an invoice number. The only parameters i need it to meet is that it is at least 5 digits in length. I was hoping i could use a button to make the number generate in a separate box.
Please suggest me how to do it.Any code or sample like this. I don't know how to add new row of product e.t.c. Please help me as I have never done any programming in ms access before (Done most of web development,asp.net,jsp,coldfusion)
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.
I have 3 tables invoice, customer and items. I need to create a query that will get the next invoice number from the invoice table and mark that invoice number in the items table for a set customer where the invoice field in the items table is blank.
The invoice table is now set up as a autonumber, therefore I need to append to get the last new number.
The items in the item table are unique and this is why I want to mark the invoice number in the item table field invoice.
I am selling some products, namely A to M. I record the orders of costumers in a table, named "orders". For example, if costumer "Jack" has ordered as the following:
Code: ID costumer product quantity unitprice orderdate
12 jack A 4 10 25/11/2014 13 jack B 5 5 25/11/2014 14 jack C 1 4 25/11/2014 15 jack F 3 2 25/11/2014 16 Jack G 4 8 25/11/2014 17 Jack H 1 7 25/11/2014
Then I make a report based on the above table and issue that as the invoice to the costumer, who is jack here.
How can I make a unique invoice number, which automatically increases sequentially for each invoice? Do I need to add a new column to the table? I also need to be able to look for a specific invoice based on the number, or date.
Part of my access application does invoicing. I have an invoice number table that wholes one field "InvoiceNum". On my invoice report i have the following code:
Code: Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer) '// lookup invoice number when invoice opens intInvoiceNum = Nz(DLookup("InvoiceNum", "tblInvoiceNum"), 0) End Sub
[Code] .....
Problem: My report open with groupby ClientID and ProjectNum. Multiple invoices print on the same report. If any invoice spills over to second page the Format Code runs again inserting an incremental invoice number to the second page. How can i prevent this from happening?
I just came across a problem that I didn't recognize before. I had an invoice table and corresponding form that had an autonumber for the invoice number. The problem now is that I would like the invoice number to begin at 256 and then increase incrementally, because I had some previous invoices from my books. How to go about doing this.
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.
I am trying construct a form that will only show an invoice if all the invoice records have been approved. I have created a form that will allow the user to look at each line of an invoice and has a checkbox to approve it. If the user has selected all the boxes it will disappear from the Approval view, which is a query that shows unique values.
The problem is that if all of the lines but one are checked it will also show up in the view for the unapproved invoices AND the approved invoices. I would like to know how to structure a query that shows unique values but ONLY if ALL of the invoice line items have been approved.
I have a main form and subform. The main form is bound to a table of invoices and the subform to a table of invoice items. I'm picking up the invoice number from the form to save it to the invoice items table, so I need to save the record for the invoice before saving the invoice items from the subform.
I am practising making relational databases as I haven't used them before.
The mock database I am creating is based around a cleaning company.
I am trying to make a form which will display all of the bookings a certain cleaner has in the future. I want it to be able to display a booking along with the services (Windows cleaning, vacuum cleaning etc...) the customer wants.
At the moment, it is displaying each service (Window cleaning, vacuum cleaning etc...) as separate result on the form and it is not combined. They both have the same booking_ID from the booking table. How can I combine them?
It is far easier to understand what I mean by looking at the database (Attached). Take a look at the form I have created and then click the > arrow at the bottom to see what I mean.
hi all .. i'm new here , I'm not familier with the access so i found it's better to ask the profi. pplz and here i come to u i'm better in Excel anyway here is the steps of what i try to do and i already attached a simple example this invoice form will include the sales throught the month . so it's monthly and here is what i try to do 1-a form to Enter in it the Coustmer name | project |product descp. |measure|uni.price|total 2-i may have more than 1 item in the same invoice. 3-invoice serial no. to be like yyyymm###### i don't know is that able cause when i tried to make an invoice it make on a WEB Page and saved it in some place , i thought i can be in the program it self , and i attached also the form of how the invoice could be , anyhelp ??
Since I posted my system last time I have started my system again because it was seriously messed up. I have now come to a point, like last time where I have a problem with the total on my Invoice/Order form and also i dont know how to use all the data from a 'created order' and make it into a report invoice to print off. Any help appriciated.:)
My system: Gamez New System (http://www.savefile.com/files/6286869)
OK OK I know this should be simple but as a self taught db person I cannot manage the simplest of forms. The problem is I cannot get my customer address to automatically fill in the spaces once I type or select customer from cbo box.
I am totally frustrated as this has taken 6 months of trying to work this out I have copied the Northwind invoice but that does not link in with my tables. I have studied Virginia Anderson The Complete Reference until some of the pages have fallen out, same for Access Inside Out. But none actually tell me step by step how to create an invoice form. Maybe I am thicker than two short planks!!!!!
The next problem is even if I forget the address part and just want to record the customer I put in the plant ordered details but I think I have missed out something as no details appear.
Could someone please look at db attached. Orders table will eventually be deleted as I did not have the foresight to look into future and this covers 2004 only. Once I get a form and table working correctly I will copy this info over. Itemsale table is something I copied from MYOB trying to link something up by using the exact structure of MYOB. Need to work on this further as I need to export info to MYOB.
ANY HELP (incluing psychiatric) would be appreciated.
Could some one help me attach file, it is too big even though compressed
Hi, I have a data entry form that needs to become an invoice form. The problem I have is that the background colour prints too, tried "print data only" option, but as it says on the tin, only the data is printed. Ideally I want the formatting, field headings, but not the background colour.
Is the only option to remove the background colour? Or should I create a "print" button that runs a report for the selected record?
I am trying to add a total to my order form but i am finding it a bit tricky, but once i have done this i also need to create an invoice, which should be simple enough but is quite difficult because of the way the system has been put together....
I have a form with a subform. The form shows an invoice and the subform the items to be invoiced. On this form I want to have a button that creates a credit of this full invoice.
My question is now how to add the existing invoice and details again to the same invoice table (query) and same details table (query).After clicking this button in the two tables should be the original invoice/details and its credit.
I am creating a database for a local mechanical garage, most of it is setup but i have an issue creating invoices, I need to create a button on a form which will create an invoice per record. Trouble I am having is if i have 1 record it will show just 1, but when i add multiple records they all show on 1 invoice sheet. It doesn't separate records, i but instead it adds the extra records before the page footer :/ causing 1 footer for many records. How to finish the functionality of this DB, i can certainly finish the design side. Everything in this DB is set accordingly, just the invoice system to do i believe, could some1 have a look and let me know? i have tried to upload it here but cant so its on this link [URL] ....
I'm trying to create an invoice system with a sub-form within the main form. The issue I'm having is that the data in the sub-form keeps getting overwritten each time a new record is created for the main form. So when I go back to edit an older record, the data in the sub-form is changed to whatever the latest record had in it. Is there a way to lock in the data in the sub-form so that it stays with it's own record?
This is probably really basic stuff to most of you, but here goes.
(In the past, I have always had tables with zillions of fields, rather than having linked tables, so I have never had to mess with this stuff before...)
I have a db with 2 tables. A Main table with, say, contact names and addresses and a Lesser table with specialised info that I only want for some of those contacts.
The Primary Key in the Main table is fldContNum (autonumber), the primary key in the Lesser tables is fldNum. The two tables are linked 0ne-to-one on those fields.
There is not a record in the Lesser table for every record in the Main table.
I have a form showing records from the main table and a sub-form showing records from the Lesser. They are linked Child fld Num / Master fldContNum.
At the moment, I can go to a Contact from the main table and I can enter info for him in the sub-form, thus creating a record in the lesser table. That works ok.
However, if I move the main form to another contact and then go back, that info that I just entered does not show in the subform. In other words the subform is in "add new record" mode, whilst I want it to go automatically to the existing "Lesser" record with that number.
I can make it do this with VBA and searching recordsets and suchlike easily enough, but I feel that there must be a much more basic way of linking the two form and tables.
Also I want to make sure that if there is already a "Lesser" record with that number, I want to make it so that the sub form cannot even try to make a new record (because then I obviously get primary key violations).
I hope that I have made myself relatively clear here...
