Hello,
Can someone tell me how I can change the increment in an existing database.
The PK is currently Auto ID with each new record currently 1001, 1002 and so on.
What I am trying to do is say starting monday the next new entry begins at 5003 versus 1003, in essence I am trying to change my first number to a 5 versus a 1.
Is this possible?
Thanks..

Hi All
How to assign value to a field based on the value of the same field in the previous record?
Autonumber has its limitations for my purpose. Because, after I start filling up a form, I some times cancel the form filling process, and it affects the continuous numbering.
I guess the issue can be resolved by using some thing like record count facility. i.e. current' record's field value = number of records till previous record + 1.
How to exactly codify or execute the above by vba coding.
The Field Name is "SerialNo.", and Table Name is "StudentData"
Thanks

I am importing an Excel file with existing data using the Import wizard to build my table. It has an ID field (CID) which I would like to keep and set to auto increment starting with the next number.
Can this be done ?
I have a form where a user will enter a 11 digit number (12345043456). Using ASP (VB) this string of numbers queries an access database and returns the entry for that specific number to the user.
Unfortunately, the numbers in the access table are an 11 digit number with hyphens seperating the string like this 12345-04-3456 (the ndc # of a pharmaceutical).
So What i need is some code that monitors and modifies the form input so that the hyphens are added in to the string when the user is inputting the data.
If i cannot do this, then is there some VB that I can add which modifies the field in the text file when it is imported into access on a daily basis.
Thanks

I have a web database in access and I am trying to set up a new table. They key piece of this table needs to be a randomly generated ID number that is between 4-6 digits long. I know that when I set up a new table the ID field is set as "AutoNumber" but I can't seem to modify the properties of this field like I can in Non-web databases.
Is there a way to have a randomly generated ID number that is a specific length in a web database? If so, how can I do this (preferably without VBA since that is not Web compatible)?
hello
I have set up the primary key as auto-increment through sql.
coursereference int AUTO_INCREMENT,
I have also entered VBA code for event handler below:
Private Sub Form_AfterInsert()
Me.Requery
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast
End Sub
Every time when I delete the previous value , the next one entered is not decreased by one.
Could you please help how to set it up?
Thanks
I'm redeveloping a DB for a new project, so have removed all previous records from relevant tables (to start a-fresh)
One snub, the ID fields in the tables are auto increasing from where they left off, rather than from 1
If anyone knows how to reset the auto counters, it would be very much appreciated
Thanks in advance

How to make access increment the number part?
Hello ALL,
I want to know how to reset (to start again from 1) my primary key field.

Some help please?

Hi: does anybody knows how to create auto-increment in the query?
eg.
id
1
2
3
4
...
create auto-increment in the query, Not in the table? Thanks.
Basically, we have different camera modules on which we perform a given test a number of times, giving rise to 2 tables, tblCamera which will store basic info about the module and tblTest which will hold info for each test perfomed.
The camera module has a unique ID (CameraID, the Primary key in tblCamera and foreign key in tblTest (one to many)). The primary key in tblTest will be a compound key of CameraID and an incremental number for each test performed on a given camera (TestNo). The data for the tests will need to be entered through a form, so I can build a form based on tblCamera with a subform based on tblTest (which would be in datasheet view)... What I am looking for is a way to increment TestNo in the subform, starting at 1. I have tried using
=Nz(DMax("TestNo","tblTest","CameraID = '" & [Forms]![frmCamera]![txtCameraID] & "'"),0) + 1
in the Default Value box for this field, which works to a point but has the curious effect of adding each number twice (as the default value for a new record seems to be added as soon as you start typing in the current 'last row')
I just can't seem to get my head around this one, any suggestions would be much appreciated...
Thanks,

I have a daabase that I am importing via excel. I want the entries to be numbered
ex: MT0001
MT0002
etc....
I would like it to promt the user for the last number(or next number in sequence) entered, then fill in the blank records with the next increment number.
The prefix will also change to so eventually the user would enter into the prompt RD0001. then autofill the 140 imported records with RD0002, rd0003... etc....
I can't really make seperate fields because the MT0001 number will become a barcode and putting them seperate causes many issues.
can this be done? Any help would be great I am still a beginner but slowly learning!
Thanks!
My table key looks like this. Its a table that keeps a master record of conferences that occur during a calendar year
ConfYear (Date/Time) primary key
ConfNo (Byte) primary key
As you see its a composite key. Now each time a new record is created i want the ConfNo to autoincrement within its ConfYear. I used a byte as its not usually more than 4. Autonumber does not work as part of a composite key i found out.
2014 1
2014 2
2014 3 etc
And revert to 1 when ConfYear input changes to 2015
Is there a simple way to do this with say, a macro, or is the only way with VBA and DAO?
I have inherited an Access DB that is supposed to be kept "alive" but not made much better. On a weekly basis I get an Excel CSV that I'm supposed to import into one massive table; that works just fine.
However, there is another query that takes values from a table named "New Users From Import Table" and appends them to the current "User" table.
But before running that query I have to manually update a field called "Display Name ID" with the next highest number from the User table but only the highest value that isn't in the 9000 number range.
For example, my next highest "Display Name ID" is 1144, which of course does not include the records that range between 9000 - 9008.
I had to manually enter 89 "Display Name ID" values yesterday and I know there has to be a way to update that field when I pull the data over from the temp table without having to do it all manually.
Here's the query that pulls the data into the "User" table (after I've manually entered the incremented values).
INSERT INTO Users ( [Display Name ID], [User Type], Organization, [Display Name], [Alias Name] )
SELECT [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name ID], [New Users From Import Table].[User Type], [New Users From Import Table].Organization, [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name], [New Users From Import Table].[Alias Name]
FROM [New Users From Import Table];
how to auto increment one field based on the value in another field. What I have is a table with six fields. There is a foreign key assigned to each record and linked to another table. Four fields in this table are number fields indicating accordingly a number for a category, a number for a subcategory, a number for a subject for a subcategory and a number for an instruction for each subject of subcategory. The last field is the text field for each instruction. Numbers are required to be included in the report. Also, number of categories, subcategories, subjects and instructions vary by each record in the the table which this table is linked to. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have numbers in the subcategory to auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the category field, numbers for each subject field would auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the subcategory field, and numbers in the instructions field to auto increment for each number in the subject field starting, again, with "1". I also need these numbers to restart with "1" for each new record in another table.
Basically, the table would look like this:
cat subcat subj instruction
1------1-------1------1
1------1-------2------1
1------2-------1------1
2------1-------1------1
2------1-------2------1
3------1-------1------1
3------1-------2------1
1------1-------1------1
(if the record in another table is a new/next table)and so forth..I have been looking for anything that could remotely work for me. Every VBA code I've tried is either don't work the way I need it to work, other codes making the field to continue increment numbers if the number already exists in the other field.
I'm making up a stock system for the independent jewellers I work for. Each stock pattern needs an individual code which can quickly be recognised read as tickets are often taken off the jewellery and can be mixed up easily. To this end we categorise based on two criteria:
1. Material
2. Type
At the moment these are as follows:
MATERIAL
IDMaterial
0Base and Miscellaneous
1Silver
2Gold
3Palladium
4Platinum
5Pewter

0Previously Owned
1Ring
2Pendant
3Chain
4Necklace
5Bracelet or Bangle
6Earrings

8Gents
9Gift, Clock or Miscellaneous
So if I had three pairs of silver earrings I want the first to be No. 161, the next 162, the next 163. If I had three Gold Bracelets I'd want them No. 251, 252, 253 and so on...Material and type are both selected form separate Comboboxes on a form.
I am attempting to update an oracle table using MS Access.
One of the fields to be updated is a primary key number field.
I'd like to use the autoincrement field to update that field.
My sql is:
Code:
Alter table testAutoNum Add column progid autoincrement (1001,2)
This sql nicely creates the new field in the table, but it doesn't start at 1001 and increment by 2; it starts and 1 and increments by 1.It is also creating an autonumber and I need it to be a number.
What am I doing wrong?
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.

Hello,
I have a form (linked to a table). I have 'txtBoxA' and 'txtBoxB'. Now, each record will have different values in 'txtBoxA' and based on that value 'txtBoxB' will change for that specific record. In the 'OnLoad' event for the form I type the code, but when I re-open the form it only works for the 1st record, and it doesn't change all the rest (records).
Do I need a loop to go through all the records?? I thought that this was done automatically by ACCESS. If I have to use a loop, can anyone please give me the exact syntax?
Please, this is really urgent so I would really appreciate an answer asap
Thank you very much.
Hi,
I am trying to change the value of a field (well a few fields once I get it to work for one!) in a table.
I am trying to update the last record in a table, but cannot get any code to work in VBA for this and cannot make an update query select just the last record in the table to do it that way either!
The VBA I am using is:
Dim db As Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("Inventory Transactions", dbOpenDynaset)
With rst
.MoveLast
.Edit
![UnitsOrdered] = (Me.UnitsOrdered - Me.Qty_Passed_Insp)
.Update
End With
rst.Close
db.Close
Units ordered doesn't change though!
For the update query I am trying the following criteria for the transactionID field:
=max( [Inventory Transactions]![TransactionID] )
But this returns the error message:
"Cannot have aggregate finction in WHERE clause ([Inventory Transactions].TransactionID = Max([Inventory Transactions]![TransactionID]))"
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I create one database and the query and the forms for my clients in the sharing drive. Every time, the user open the form and select the field names and then execute the query depend on which fields the user select on the form, and then output to the screen. Here is the question, if there are multi user access the same form/query, one user pickup 3 fields to run the query, and another user pickup 5 fields to run the query. Becuase one user select 3 field names on the form, and then the code will modify the query contents, another user select the 6 field names on the form, and then the code will modify the query contents.
So, will the query affect each other?
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT [Company Name],[Vendor Name],[Account],[Statement Number],[Amount] from [Statements] "
Dim cat As New ADOX.Catalog
Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command
Dim qry As ADOX.view
cat.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
Set cmd = cat.Views("Statement Informations").Command
cmd.CommandText = strSQL
Set cat.Views("Statement Informations").Command = cmd
Set cat = Nothing
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Statement Informations"
I used the above code to modify the existing query, "Statement Informations".
When I run it, it give out the error message:
Run-time error '3218':
Could not update; currently locked.
And then, I went to queries section, and open the query "Statement Informations" directly, close the query, and then run the code again.
Then, it works.
I don't know why.
If I run it on next machine on other day, then it give out same error.
How can I solve it?
Please let me know, thanks.
Hi all,
Is it possible to modify data using a query.
Say for instance I have a whole load of IP's in a table in the form of A.B.C.*, where and and B are fixed, C varies slightly and * can be anything from 1-255. Can I use a query to look at an IP and the append an IP record to a different table in the form of A.B.C.0. Basically, modifying the data so that whatever the value of *, it is changed to 0.
Cheets,
Matt
Hi all
I have a report rptTeamPickStats which source is a query qryTeamPickStats
The query has columns such as name, id number etc which are GROUP BY and hours, cases as SUM and there is a DATE field where I originally had a WHERE statement specifying the from and to dates.
I want to be able to modify the where using VB so I don't have to have several queries.
The code below doesn't work (probably won't take you long to realise that) but just to show kind of what I'm after.
I want to query all the TLName where the date is between to dates.
DoCmd.OpenReport myReport, acViewPreview, "", _
"[TLName]='" & myFilter & "' And qryTeamPickStats!Date >= #" & myFromDate & "# And qryTeamPickStats!Date <# " & myToDate & "# And [OTcode] " & myOp & " 'NA'"
Hope this makes sense
Cheers
Kev.
