I have a simple invoice database with a primary key in the main table (with autonumber as invoice no.) and a subform with the item details which is without a primary key with the data type as numbers. In addition, I had the tables linked as one to many relationship. What happen is that when I am entering the data, the number jumps . For eg: It was suppose to be 7123 but the next entry was 7150. Pls kindly advice.
I have a table in which the data input comes from a dropdown list selected in a form combo box as:
contract signed PIN issued PDD issued validation finished Host country approval EB approved CER's issued.
I am designing a report in which I want to display the above list in Ascending or Descending order but as shown rather than alphabetically. What I mean is no matter how the information is on the table the report showd display it in Ascending as contract signed, PIN issued, etc and in Descending as CER's issued, EB approved, Host country approval , etc.
The above image is of a table which I need to update according to a new data on daily basis. As you can see when I added two records at the last , the AutoNumber primary key of the table jumped by thousands . I have used the following query to update the table
Code: db.Execute "INSERT INTO D_Counterparty (CPTY_ENTITY_ID,CPTY_DESC)"_ & "SELECT Ctpy_Entity_Id,Ctpy_Entity_Legal_Nm"_ & "FROM NewCU LEFT JOIN D_Counterparty ON D_Counterparty.CPTY_ENTITY_ID=NewCU.Ctpy_Entity_Id"
I never changed the AutoNumber from incremental to random and I have also tried re-seeding it but had no success. Also when I inserted the sample values using a sample table ,the AutoNumber was working fine . Here's that query
Code: db.Execute "INSERT INTO D_Counterparty (CPTY_ENTITY_ID,CPTY_DESC,) SELECT a,b, FROM sample"
Hello friends, Please can anyone tell me how i can make the selections in my combo box (combo is bound to column1 of a table) appear in ascending order, by name (column2). I.e. It's bound by column 1 (with is the Id#), but i want it to appear in ascending by column 2 (Usernames) to make selections easier. Please help :)
My question is simple: I've got a database of my book collection. If i view it in a style sheet, it is something like
Author Title etc.
A 0 C 1 B 3 F 2 D 5 D 4 A 8 F 9
I would like to order the Author and Title columns (permanently). Particularly, I would like to order in alphabetical order all the authors and, if I've got the same author, order his/her book alphabetically, something like:
i am going to use the autonumber as an order number but I want " SC2015 in front of it so i end up with " sc20151 , sc20152 but next year i want it to change the year SC201650 .how to put the sc2015 in my report without any input from the user
I am creating a database for cases. I want to set autonumber into sequence, Let say if there are data numbering 1,2,3,4,5. If I delete no.2, The data will rearrange in oreder from 1,2,3,4. While If I add a new value it would be the no.5.
Instead of data value autonumber 1,2,3,4,5 as I deleted no.2 and add new records. The data has become 1,3,4,5,6.
I was adding an autonumber field to an existing table and I assumed the numbering would follow the order of the primary key but that doesn't seem to be the case.
This is something I occasionally see in Access and has been bugging me for quite a while.
As an example, when I have a table (all text fields except for the ID field which is an Autonumber with a unique index - ie just what Access creates when you import data) and I try to make a new table from a query by indexing the Autonumber field in descending order (ie to reverse the order of the table), it doesn't work properly.
So if I have:
SELECT [mytable].* INTO [mytable sorted] FROM [mytable] ORDER BY [mytable].[ID] DESC;
When I preview the data (ie run the select query to have a look at it), it looks fine.
When I change the query to a 'Make Table' and I then I check the table it makes, the order changes part-way down the list, so looking at the ID field it runs from number 2669 down to 2087 correctly, then it goes from 1960 to 1956, then 1803 to 1799, then 1751 to 1747, etc etc etc. After a while it seems to correct itself again, and orders normally down to #1
I am trying to use the template provided in the Access database wizards, pages and projects. Its called Order Entry. What i would like to do is edit the template to fit my needs but i need to change the Product ID feild from Autonumber to a product id of my own. I would however like to keep it as the Key.

I mentioned this a while back but was never able to solve this problem.
I don't have any nails left to chew so I hope some smart person on this forum can spot the error or know how to solve it.
Here goes...
On the main form you have a building that you can click on, once you have done so it will then list all the fire fighting appliances in that building that need servicing.
The problem is that when I'm editing the records the list box jumps to the first record after saving it & you have to scroll to the last record again to continue.
It's not so bad if you only have a few records to edit but it is a pain when you have more than can fit on the form.
I hope someone can spot where I'm going wrong and help me out as I have no idea how to solve this.
I have a long form that has a tab control at the bottom of it. You have to scroll down to get to the tab section. After I scroll down, when I click on one of the tabs the form jumps up. It doesn't jump up to the beginning of the form but somewhere near the beginning. I've checked everything that I could think of but nothing helps this situation.
okay, simple question. How in visual basic code do you tell the prompt to go to the next line in the same control on a form? In other words, how do you mimic the behavior of the enter key in code?
When the client clicks in a text-Box or Combo-box in a sub-form, the field seems to jump to the side. in this image it jumps to the left, but jumps to the right to..., it is quite irritating, especially attempting to open a combo-box list, and see the button jumping aside.We renewed the file many times, so I don't think it is corrupted, but go know..the file can be accessed via network or terminal server, the pic is from terminal, but happens via network too.
I've recently upgraded on of my systems from Access 2003 to 2010.
In the past I've always used to the ctrl key and the cursor keys to move and fine tune the position of my controls on my reports. However since upgrading the controls jump about all over the place when I try to move them.
I have noticed that when I've selected the controls and start to move them a little black line appears on the vertical ruler and when I release the controls they seem to move to it's position.
I'm half way through a project and want to have 3 queries to search personal information (Surname/DOB/Ref Number) is it possible to select the record in data view from the query search and jump to the record in form view? Would I have to display the query differently or is it possible to just click within the normal query view?
I'm a newbie to the forum, but hope that someone can point me in the right direction to solve a problem.
Background: I have a db that I use much like Quicken to maintain a ledger and reconcile accounts. To reconcile credit card transactions, I have a continuous form that lists each transaction as a record in the Detail. Each record has Check Boxes for Yes/No criteria pertaining to "Cleared Status", "On Statement", and "Missing Receipt". Checking the box for "On Statement" allows a subsequent report to include the items that are checked. Likewise, an Update Query used later in the process sets all all items in the reconcile to "cleared" so that do not reappear on the list of items to reconcile. In order to cause the Report and the Update Query to reassess the Yes/No status for each item and thus function properly, I have set the Event Proceedure for these Check Boxes to Requery the underlying data.
Problem: As you can imagine, the list of Credit Card Transactions is a long one. Each time a Check Box is clicked, the requery causes the list of records to jump back to the very top of the list. This really slows down the process of completing the reconcile. Is there a way to hold the continuous list in the detail section still as the requery takes place?
The problem now is when two data entry people are working on the DB at the same time, sometimes the client records one person is the are working on jump from one computer to another computer.
Attached is an example caught: Louise data entry user was logged into the database on one computer entering data. Mary data entry user was logged into the database on a different computer entering data on a different client.
The client data from Mary's computer "jumped" to the screen of Louise's PC. And then worst to the database table of contact data kept.
This is kind of hard to believe if there was not screen images catching it in the act, which we have. Is there a record locking MS-Access global setting I need to turn on?
Also, we have at least 3 time where we get a duplicate MS-Access record-id key on the DB. That is not suppose to happen. I can e-mail the DB and mass out the real person(s) names if you would like.
Any of your great thoughts or insights will be appreciated.
Hope all is going good for you at America General and the earth quakes are not too shaking.
I have a form with a subform for tracking the stocks trading. I use the subform to enter new transactions. This was working fine until I have made some modifications in the design, which started giving me the trouble. Whenever I try to input any transactions by selecting a combo box in the subform, it takes me to the first record, even before completing my entries. I tried my best to solve it. But not successful. I am attaching a sample file for reference.
I have checked the tab order and have cycle for my form set to = all records (but have also tried current record). After I update one of any of my textboxes in the details section and then click or tab into the next box, the cursor jumps back to the first record, first field.
