Hi All,
I am trying to create a make-table query, with a new AutoNumber field.
I know that if you are creating a new Text field you type FieldName: "" in Field and for a Number field you would type FieldName: [], but what do you type for an AutoNumber field?
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and have a question:
I want to create a table with an Autonumber field using a SQL statement,
in Microsoft Access Database, something like this:
Cnn.execute "CREATE TABLE newtable (id Long, Name Char(100)) "
is there something to put in place of "long" to make the field autonumber?
I tried the word "autonumber", but did not work.
Many Thanx.
Hadi.
All,
I have trawled boards and sites, but cannot find the answer!
I have a make-table query, and I wish to create an AutoNumber field.
Now I know that if you put fieldname: "" , a Text field will be created and if enter fieldname: [] then a Binary field will be created.
Is there a code I can use to create an AutoNumber field?
Help appreciated!
Regards,
Jempie
I created a database of "My Cars", "Television", and "Wines" and a Trouble Reports(TR) for each. I have a field TR on each and for now a user can fill it up with number i.e first TR is 1, second Tr is 2 etc etc. I want it automatically filled automatically not manually. However, I want it to do the same for "Television" and "Wines" when I write Trs on them. I am a rookie and I dont know how to do it I attached a copy of the db I created.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a table where one field needs to be an autonumber, however, that autonumber needs to be calculated. This field is not based on any other information in the database, but there's a very complicated mathematical process behind it, which I'm figuring out...I just need to know once I get that code complete, how do I tie it into the table?

field type of autonumber can not be created with sql,why?is autonumber a data type like int,text ect.?but int or text field can be created
When I tried paste some data using front end to my database, Access showed error (can't create record because data would be duplicated). I thought it's impossible because it is autonumber field. So I checked it (manually). I did copy of my database and then for testing, I created record. I was shocked. Next record should has a value of "160" but Access gave "130" then showed an error "Can't create record because data will be duplicated". Of course after compact and repair everything is fine.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a form, frmSub, that contains the combo box comProducts. I also have two tables, Products and PurchaseDetail. Both tables have the field ProductID.
I want comProducts to create a new record in the Products table, using the input in a field called Product and then to use the value of ProductID to create a new record in the PurchaseDetail table. Ie, so the PurchaseDetail table has a record that links to another record in the Products table via the feild ProductID.
I hope I was semi-clear.
Have a Make table query that needs to create (add) several new fields where each field must be numeric design.
Have tried:
Score1: Not Null - does not seem to work (results in a Binary field)
Score1: 0 - which does give me the numeric field designation but every field in table contains a 0.
Would like to show Blank field (makes data input easier at a later time) but still have the Numeric designation.
I need to make changes to a table already containing data. Currently the autonumber field is simply there as a primary key, but I now wish to use it for another number field (Accession No) which was previously completed manually.
As this doesn't seem possible or practical (as I need the flexibility to overwrite the number sometimes), I just want the autonumber to also appear in the Accesion No field when a new record is added (but be manually overwriteable).
I've had a play with default values and lookups, but with no success, and haven't found anything on the forum. Where am I going wrong, or is this just not possible?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, I just a fresh user for the Microsoft Access. I have some question on the forms. I created a form and there is a field name Membership Id. In this field I created using AutoNumber format. I was requested this membership number needed to add also some Area Code and BranchCode infront of it. How could I add this into this membershipID so I could have this few info combine and shown in my form(textlabel) ? :p :p
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the field called subject_id which is autonumber in the form of 10001,10002,... And I want the field with the same format to appear in another table. But appending it leads to different numbering, i.e. the filed becomes 1, 2, ... instead of 10001, 10002 as I've formatted it in its original table. How could I append/copy such a field?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two tables linked to each other in one to many relationship. Instead of auto number, the date and shift (Text) is being used as the primary keys (Composite Primary Key). Here is the tables structures,
Payouts Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night) : Primary Key
Bills Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night): Primary Key
Autonumber: Primary Key
The tables Payouts and Bills has one to many relationship. One payout row can have many bills. The problem is that I want to start the Autonumber in bills table everyday from 1. As date and shift are different for every day so even if i start bills from 1 everyday, it wont make same primary key. I can do it manually but I want to make it automatically.
I'm creating a database that keeps a track of questions and scores.
The questions in the database need to be dynamic and are changed frequently.
I have a scorecard table which keeps a record of scores and the applicable question at the time the record was saved. I need to do this because in 6 months time we may want to provide feedback. As the question may have changed we need to be able to refer back to what the question was.
I want the question field in my scorecard table to populate with the value in my question table.
I have tried a number of things including setting the question field in the scorecard table to a lookup based on the following query:
SELECT tblQ1.Q1
FROM tblQ1;
This works however only as a list or combo box. I don't want the user to have to select the question. I want it to auto populate, is this possible?
Table1 contain Two fields (3Months) and (6Months)
Table2 contain Two fields (3Months) and (6Months)
the table 2 is the source of a form that will let the user change the numbers. table 1 should change Date1 and Date2 Fields based on the two fields (3months) and (6months) if i want to make a lookup wizard it should be changed manually and if i make a calculated field i can't find other tables in the expression builder
Hi, I am hoping someone can help with this problem.
I have a table which has an autonumber field, set to increment by 1. I would like this to start not from 0 but from, say 1000. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!
I have what is probably a stupid question but I've been struggling with this one for a while. I have an ordering database which has an Orders table (containing Order ID, Date, Supplier etc) and an Order Line table within which I have a combo box for Product name, supplier, price, VAT rate, Line price etc. At the moment, I have the order line table as a subform within the Order form (run from the Orders table). The problem I'm having is the subtotal and total fields. At the moment these are in the Order Line table as I cannot figure out how to get these in the Orders table. In summary, can I make a calculated field in one table that calculates values from another table (linked by Order ID)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI currently have a few tables that use an autonumber as the primary key, however, I would like the autonumber to start with a series of letters if possible. For example: instead of it creating an ID of 1, then, 2, 3, 4, and so on, I would like it to append lets say "ABC" to the front of it; ABC1, ABC2, ABC3, etc.

I need to create a Autonumber field in a table with the following starting value 13-642-2000.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
example:
SELECT tblFalls.Guest_Name, [Account_Number], Count(tblFalls.Account_Number) AS Falls
FROM tblFalls
GROUP BY [Account_Number], [Guest_Name];
Gives me:
Smith, Joe; M698, 1
Blinke, Frank; M686, 2
Neal, Bobbie; M648, 1
I need ot to give me,
1, Smith, Joe; M698, 1
2, Blinke, Frank; M686, 2
3, Neal, Bobbie; M648, 1
each time i run the query i need to list that guests, their number of falls and assign each unique guest a number starting with 1 on up...
How?
yes, yes, i know how to do it in a report, but I need right now to be able to do it in a query alone.. anyone?
I tried:
SELECT Sum(1+), Guest_Name, Account_Number, Count(Account_Number) AS [Falls]
FROM tblFalls
GROUP BY Account_Number, Guest_Name;
=p no luck.. though it looks neat.
I also tried writing a function
Public Function GetQryNum() As Integer
If IsNull(gQryNum) Or gQryNum < 1 Then
gQryNum = 1
GetQryNum = gQryNum
Else
gQryNum = gQryNum + gQryNum
GetQryNum = gQryNum
End If
End Function
SELECT GetQryNum() AS GuestIndex, Guest_Name, Account_Number, Count(Account_Number) AS [Falls]
FROM tblFalls
GROUP BY Account_Number, Guest_Name;
But all i get is a '1' in every row.
Any ideas?

Can somebody help me in this.
I am learning new things in access & not that proficient. But i love to work in access.
Hi,
I have a make table query that deletes the old table every time the new one is made. However every time the new table is made it resets the field property for the “Date” field to “Text” rather than “Date/Time”
Does anyone know how I can avoid this problem please?
I’ve tried an update query but Access won’t allow me to perform the sum function that I require the actual query to perform. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

I have a make-table query that pulls all the fields from 1 table (MainTable), and creates a new table with a date stamp based apon a form value entered (New Table = MainTableWithDate).
Currently, I setup the query to pull info from the form field like this:
DateField: [Forms]![frmmain]![DateField]
However, when the make-table query is done - all date fields are blank (all other fields are correctly created), and when I look at the new created table (mainTableWIthDate), the typeassigned to the date field is "Binary" (in the form, I've specified LongDate).
I have a make table query created from a linked to a table. i want to add field to the make table query that are not fields on the table. How do i insert a created field? Hopefully this is a basic question.....
View 1 Replies View RelatedDB Setup:
Table1: I have a table (Vendor) that has 2 fields (# & Name) with # being an AutoNumber. So only Name is being input via a form. I have formatted the autonumber field as 000;(000).
Table2: A table that is populated via form with invoice info etc and vendor number is added through a drop down combo box (which also has the above format on it)
Table3: Similar to table2, with slightly diff info but still vendor #
Query1: Is a make table that consolidates table 1 & 2 via union on like fields (ie vendor #) This make table also has the format from above in its properties field, although when i open the table it makes (Table4) the vendor field is not formatted as i need it. So 3 appears as 3 not 003.
Query2: takes table4 adds some extra info and exports file (as txt or xls)using outputTo & TransferText macro so that it can be loaded into a Hyperion Essbase system
My problem is that although the field value is formatted as 003 in appearance, when i take it to excel it changes back to 3 when i need it to stay as 003. I would like the make table query to also format the tables field as 000. Is the problem with the autonumber in the orig table or is it simply excel being stubborn when i take it there. If i changed the vendor field to text string in the make table would i still be able to link it back to the orig vendor table to get the names etc (ie number field linked to text field??)
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
stumped on an issue I thought would be pretty straight forwards (again) so i'm hoping to find the answer here! I have a make table query which produces the table using fields from three other tables and it runs fine however I now want to insert a new field with the value "Current" in it, and, if possible, an Autonumebr ID field as primary key. I'd like this is all done in one query so not sure if it will fly but if anyone can advise me I know someone from here can help.
Thanks in advance,
Mitch......
