KV Error's On Updating Serial Numbers
Nov 28, 2005
Hi,
I have a table that uses SerialNo as primary key. From time to time (its a long story...) I need to go in and update the SerialNo by adding x to it. Here's the problem: lets say the table has SerialNo's 1,2,3,4,5, and I try to add 1. I get 4 KV error's because of course, 2,3,4,5 already exist in the table. (So I would end up with 1,2,3,4,6 instead of 2,3,4,5,6.)
I really thought that Access should be smart enough to figure out that there really won't be any key violations after the updates are done, but I guess not.
So, what's the easiest way to deal with this?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I've searched through the forum looking for what i want to do with no luck so hopefully one of you kind people could help.
I'm setting up a DB that logs in a batch of parts to which i generate a batch no.
As the batch progressess through the works when a problem arises we generate fault records (I've set up another table for this and linked the batch no fields together). I want to put a serial no. on this form consisting of 'year' 'batch No.' and ?'Auto number'? From reading posts is it best to put the 3 items in seperate fields (less hassle)
My 2 questions are
1, how do i extract just the year from a date field?
2, This is the main problem. The auto number. If i use auto number to generate a unique number to log the record the number will be massive in no time at all. This is fine as the unique identifier for the record in a table but not for the serial number of the printed report. Idealy I want to have the batch number then a serial number that resets to 1 on a different batch No. For example
21098/1
21098/2 Batch No./serial No.
21098/3
22309/1
22309/2
22309/3
Just some more info this database is a multi user database split front and rear.
I hope i've explained this well enough, many thanks for your help in advance
cheers

I want a field to be a serial number made up of a letter of the alphabet followed by 3 digits. I want the digits to increase by 1 in each of the following record. For Example the serial number in the first record would be A001, then followed by A002, A003, ....., A142, A143, A144 & so on. I am fairly new at Access but I have experimented with AutoNumber, it won't work if the Field is not a pure mumber, can't get autonumbering to happen if I treat the field as text. I don't know where to go from here.
Any help is much appreciated.

I would like to produce a serial which will have 4 members.The first, the second and the fourth members will be always CAPITAL Letters and the thirth one is always NUMBER.Here is an example for the format: AC3H
Each member will change in any line and never match... I would like to produce it by a button or a button for each one.The last important point for this issue is; I would llike to identfy the total number of serials.

I have a table that has a field for SerialNumberStart and QtyRequired, from those two I have a calculated field for the SerialNumberEnd.
I want to print a report from this table that if for example I have StartSerialNumber 34 and SerialNumberEnd 40 prints one report for each serial number.

I'm having an issue with the database being read only and a type mismatch due to OpenRecordset. I know this database use to work when it when it was just
CurrentSerNum = RecSet(0) +1 was doing the incrementing.
I need the database to increment in a different way now.
Q=manufacture location
1st number is new=0 or used=1
2nd and third number =82
4th is single digit year aka 2015 = 5
6 and 7th are work week aka 25 for this week
8,9,10 are incremental numbers for the units made that workweek, so 001,002,003.
Then week 26 starts the increment starts back at 001.
Code:
Private Sub MakeThoseProducts_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_MakeThoseProducts_Click
Dim NumericSerial As Double
Dim WorkWeek As String
Dim WorkYear As String
Dim WorkWeekNumber As Integer
Dim WorkYearNumber As Integer
Dim Location As String
[Code] ....

I'm not sure which forum to ask this in so I've popped it in here.
I've just had to alter a couple of reports to add some calculations. These calculations can only work with a figure in certain fields, so i've altered the default setting of the fields to '0'.
Now my problem!!!!!!! This is fine for any new records generated. How do I place a '0' in the 2000 odd records already generated without manualy inputting them in???

Hi,
I have a form with various fields, some of which are normal data entry fields, others dynamically updating combo boxes.
My first field is a date field which defaults to today's date, the field following this is a growing combo box which requires some narrative to be entered. I have set up this combo box so as when data is entered into the combo box, the combo box will store it, allowing that entry to be used again. I achieve this with the Got Focus property Me.Refresh.
An error occurs when the user wishes to change the date from the default to another date. When I tab to the narrative field, Access informs me that the error occurs with the Me.Refresh property of the narrative field. I want to keep this property to allow me to update the combo box entries but I can't keep allowing this error to occur.
Does anyone know how I could solve this problem/get around it?
Thanks

I have an orders Form with a subform for products. In the subform the user selects each product by first selecting the product category from a combo box, which filters the query for the second combo where they selects the product. Once this is done, I need the record to up date, but Access gives a run time error 3058: Index or primary cannt contain a null value.
In this case I belive the key field is the product_id form my 'order_detail_table' where this is a shared key.
I've been beating this to death (it's killing me!!) for a couple of weeks now and got nowhere. Maybe someone out there can have a look and see what my obvious mistake is ... (I've attached a cut down version of db with just tables, query and subform)
Thx.

Hi, I've tried everything to get this to work with access. I can get it to work with SQL but unfortunately in this case I can't use SQL. Problem is that when I try and update the record, I get an error saying that the update method is not supported or that the lock is incorrect. It's a 3251 error.
Here's the code I'm using:
Dim dbConn2 As ADODB.Connection
Dim dbRst2 As ADODB.Recordset
Set dbConn2 = New ADODB.Connection
dbConn2.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= R:myAccessDB.mdb"
Set dbRst2 = New ADODB.Recordset
dbRst2.CursorLocation = adUseClient
dbRst2.CursorType = adOpenDynamic
dbRst2.LockType = adLockOptimistic
Set dbRst2 = dbConn2.Execute("Select ROAD_ID FROM GIS_MSLINK_ROADID WHERE MSLINK" & " = " & UserForm2.slsn_textbox1.Value)
dbRst2.Fields("ROAD_ID").Value = UserForm2.slsn_textbox2.Value
dbRst2.Close
dbConn2.Close
Set dbRst2 = Nothing
Set dbConn2 = Nothing

Hello all,
I have 5 check boxes on a form and one of them must be checked in order to get the correct result.
If the user does not check any of the the five checkboxes he gets a msgbox telling him that he must checks one of the checkboxes.
What i want to ask is if is possible to prevent the form from updating? Because the user gets the error message but after that the form is being updated even though he hasn't check any of the fields.
Thank you in advance!

I have a linked table to a DB2 database. this table contains key-pair values and has about 140k records.
I use a Sub to update the value of a specific record.
The sub starts by opening the needed DAO recordset
Then it uses the rs.Findfirst method
It checks if rs.Nomatch is not true (so the records exists!)
Then it starts updating the record with
rs.edit
rs!value1 = myvalue1,
rs!value2 = myvalue 2
rs.Update
There is where I get the '3021 No current record' error
I use the same sub on the same table to update to different parts. One part works the other gives me the error.
I have checked for typos.

I have a list (table) that I've created in sharepoint 2010.I link to the sharepoint table with Access 2010 to update mass amounts of items at once. Some of the queries have no problem updating the sharepoint items, but other queries require me to "Enter Paramater Value."
In this particular queries; I'm trying to populate field A with dates from field B, when field A is null.
---------------------
UPDATE Table 1 SET Table.[FieldA] = [FieldB]
WHERE (((Table 1.[FieldA]) Is Null));
--------------------
When I run the above, I receive the "Enter Parameter Value" input box.All records have Field B populated (it's actually the created date.)
The goal is for field A to be populated with the values in Field B, without the query asking for parameters.
Note; I can go in each individual record and update them via access, one at a time. But it's the running of the update query that failing.
Edit: Removed spaces in table and field names.

Hi
Is any body know how to retrieve the manufacturer's hard disk serial No.? I want to use it in my access application to avoid piracy. At present I am useing a code which gives me Volume serial No., which got changed when ever my user format his hard drive. Instead of HDD firmware serial, code for retrieval of any other permanent No. like mother board or CPU firmware serial can help me to solve my problem

I have the following code for the text field (Before Update)
If IsNull(Me![DyNo]) Then
Me![DyNo] = Format(Nz(DMax("[DyNo]", "[tblAllDet]", "[TheYear]='" & Year(Date) & "'"), 0) + 1, "00000")
End If
Me![DyNo] = Format([DyNo], "00000")
The code starts giving numbers from 00001, 00002, 00003 and so on. The problem was that when I have to search, I have to type the zeros before the number i.e. 00007, 00008 etc. otherwise the search form doesn’t show the relevant record. Ideally, I would like the numbering system to be 1, 2, 3, etc. (without the zeros). I tried changing the code to “0” but with the single “0”, I am unable to insert records beyond No.10. Is there a way to change this code so that I get only 1, 2, 3 etc and not with preceding zeros ? Grateful for help.

Hi, I have been trying to make a datbase so I can input the serial number of an electronic device (cell phone boards) , and also would like to be able to add additional info about the device. Most importantly I have to be able to "search" for the device by typing the serial number in a search box.
So lets say I have serial number 11111, 11112, 11113, 11114 listed in the database as "intermittent power failures", before I use the device I can type the serial number in the database and be able to recall the details. So if I type in 11119 and no hits come back, I know that one is not in the system yet; meaning it ethere does not have a problem, or the problem has not been discovered yet. If I type in 111111 for example, it would come back as a hit, saying it has an "intermittent power failure" problem. I have spent about 4 hours messing with access, I used it a while back in office 03, however I have never did anything like that, and to make things further complicated we now only have office 07. Does anyone have a template which is similar (I can modify the values) or know how to assist me to be able to create a database like this?

I'm in the process of streamlining the process to maintain our various access reports and queries.
My company's accounting software stores all record dates in Gregorian Serial format (don't ask me why). Currently for our reports we have a local hard-coded table that is manually updated periodically with dates in MM/DD/YYYY format and the coresponding Gregorian serial date number. To go from date to serial is a fairly straightforward access function of:
(Datediff('d','1/1/2000',[Date to convert])+730120)
For example if [Date to convert] was 2/7/2006 the output would be 732349. That's all well and good, however I am in need of a query I can build that will on the fly generate a list from say 1/1/1997 through 1 year after day being run just to be safe with two columns, one with date and one with the serial date equivelant so I can link to the accounting tables for date restrictions.
This way I just have to have the equation in one query instead of a hard coded table or do the calculation in every form or query that needs to look up these tables.
Unfortuantely I've been staring at accounting data (and am not an accountant) way too long and my brain is fried, suggestions?

I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.

Is this possible?
I have a Mitutoyo device that can be connected to a variety of Mitutoyo measuring instruments (in my case, it's a micrometer.) When triggered, the device obtains a measurement value from the instrument. One can view this value via serial communication in a program like HyperTerminal.
Is it possible to input these values directly, or indirectly, into Access?
Thanks ahead.

I have seen some API that gets the serial of the hard drive, but this information is not unique and changes when the volume is formated.
Does any one know of a way to return the orignal manufucture's information/serial which is unique(GUID) to the volume.
Any Idea will be highly appreciated.

Hope someone can help
I have a small test database which I'm doing for our dispatch dept.
It contains: Order No. / Customer / Ship_Date / Serial numbers (multiple)
I'm looking for a way to create a search query that will search though all the records to find a particular serial number.
There fields in the table are:
Shipping_Date
Customer
Order_No
Pallet_ID
Serial_1
Serial_2
Serial_3
Serial_4
etc
I need it to come back with the order number and pallet that it was shipped on.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul

Using MS Access 2010 I'm attempting to put together a simple database mainly tracking dates and availability. That said I'm just not smart enough to figure out why I cant get one date in a form to display as a serial date.
Example date picker included in Access 2010 places the date of 3/20/2013 in one field and I want another field to look at that and show the serial date ie.. 20130320190912. I've achieved this in Excel somehow long ago.
