Modules & VBA :: Auto-number Stopping Entry
Jul 4, 2013
I have a form that contains an autonumber field. Before any data is entered into the form that field displays the word "(Autonumber)".While it does this the subforms on my form that use that same field to run their querys are empty
Code:
Me.AllowAdditions = True
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
[Forms]![InvoiceForm]![CreateNewRecord] = True
Me.AllowAdditions = False
[CreateNewRecord] is just a invisible tickbox that is used to enter some data on the form; I don't want to use it but haven't found another solution.
Anyway. When the user opens the form they have to press this button Unless a new record was previously created and that's confusing. I'd like it in the form load event except I can't "see" the value of the field while it displays "(Autonumber)".My code for the form load is:
Code:
If InvoiceNumber.Value = Null Then
Command82_Click
End If
Where invoicenumber is the autonumber field and command82 is the new record button.

G'day All,
I have a table that allows for data to be automatically imported into it or manually entered. When data is automatically entered into the table the number field shows the number as a decimal, but when I manually entered data into the column it rounds it up or down to the nearest whole number.
I have checked the the decimal place setting on the particular item and it is set to allow for 2 decimal places the format is fixed and the number itself is Long integer
Any help would be a appreciated.

Here is my issue. In a table with an Auto Number index some records have been deleted. I have been able to recreate them along with their original auto number. The problem is that I do not know how to append these records forcing the original auto number. I have tried changing the auto number field to a number field in the table, this works except I cannot change it back to auto number.
I am sure I’m not the first with this question or issue. I did search through a couple hundred entries about auto number before I posted this question.

I am trying to make a DLookup function to return the ID number of an entry that matches 2 or 3 criteria but I am struggling to get the syntax correct for the second and third criteria.
Here is what I have so far:
1 criteria, works fine =DLookUp("[timedata]![id]","timedata", "[processdone] =" & Forms![Mainform]![p11] )
2 criteria, works fine =DLookUp("[timedata]![id]","timedata", "[processdone] = " & Forms![Mainform]![p11] & " And [timedata]![BGSnum] = 1001" )
BGSnum is a numerical value but it changes for each form I load, so what I want to do is use the form location value as the criteria.
E.g.
=DLookUp("[timedata]![id]","timedata", "[processdone] = " & Forms![Mainform]![p11] & " AND [BGSnum] = ' " & Forms![Mainform]![BGS] & "' ')
and possibly a third criteria too. This is where I am having problems and the syntax is wrong so MS Access wont let me save the macro.

I have a form with a search box, Its UNBOUND called ID . Everytime I search for an ID number it shows no results, However I know there are entries in the table. This is the code I am using :
Code:
Private Sub ID_AfterUpdate()
If (ID & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "[Id] LIKE ' " & ID & " ' "
[Code] ....
I am assuming I need to add something to search for auto numbers but i don't know what!

Lets say you have a table with an AutoNumber field.You populate it with 100 records.You delete the last 10 records (91-100)Now, I certainly know you can refresh the AutoNumber sequencing by compacting the database so the next record entered is 91.
My question is about NOT refreshing the AutoNumber sequencing.Lets say you DO NOT COMPACT and DO NOT refresh the AutoNumber Sequence.So, in that scenario, after deleting records 91-100 from the table, is there any programmatic way to determine that the next actual AutoNumber for that table will be 101?

I have a table (tblContact) with an auto number key field that is numbered sequentially (1-8) there are no deletions, each new record is appended.I wrote a simple FindFirst line to locate a record that is the first record in the table. The FindFirst failed to find the record.So, I wrote a Do Until Loop that cycles through each record looking for the record that I want to find (the first record with key field 1).
Code:
rstContact.MoveFirst
Debug.Print "ContactID: " & rstContact.Fields("ContactID")
Debug.Print "CEmployerID: " & rstContact.Fields("CEmployerID") & vbCrLf
Do Until rstContact.EOF
Debug.Print "ContactID: " & rstContact.Fields("ContactID")
Debug.Print "CEmployerID: " & rstContact.Fields("CEmployerID") & vbCrLf
This works to find the first record... eventually, because it does not begin its search at the first record. The results in the immediate window are below.
Code:
ContactID: 4
CEmployerID: 2
ContactID: 4
CEmployerID: 2
ContactID: 5
CEmployerID: 4
[code]...
I believe the field CEmployerID is unrelated to the issue. I am also attaching screen shots of the table "tblContact" and code with immediate window. I have tried indexing and not indexing the CEmployerID field in the Contact table to no avail. Even though the Do Until Loop eventually finds my record,

I am using to select and append data to an output table. Everything is working fine until the last step. The last step appends all the data to an output table from the initial table. The intermediate steps select the data to output.
"AddExpenseToOutput()" is stopping about halfway through the list of criteria. Initially I thought there might be a null in the list, but it doesn't look like there is after dropping everything into Excel to manipulate.
Code:
Option Explicit
Dim rstAccount As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstAccounts As DAO.Recordset
Dim CAccounts As String
Dim Item As String
Dim AccountKey As String

I currently have two forms. One being my main form and the other being a pop-up form to update e-mail addresses. On my main form, I have a button that is currently programmed to generate several e-mails. Before those e-mails are generated, I would like the pop-up form to appear asking for any updates to e-mail addresses. Once the pop-up form is closed, I would like the code on my main form to continue.

I have a form [IUDATA]
I have a add record button.
I have a date field [DATEIN]
I have a text field [DRPNO]
If the [DPRNO] field is empty, I would like the user to have the [DPRNO] field be automatically populated after the user enters a date.
I'd like the format of [DPRNO] to be "dpr YY-XXX"
Where:
YY is the year of the [DATEIN] field and
XXX is number of records in that year.
So for example, if it was the 4th record with a 2013 date the [DPRNO] would be dpr 13-004.

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.

Hi,
I'm trying to get the maximum number in a table field to increase it by one depending on the member that is selected in a drop down in a field.
I have three tables: members, programs and times. Each member can have N programs and each program can be broadcast N times.
Each member has a three digit code, like XXX. Each program has the three digit code of the member + three numbers that are supposed to auto increment. That is, the first program of member X with the member code XXX is called XXX001.
What I'm trying to do is that when a new program is filled in and I select the member, then the program code should update automatically, adding one to the latest program by that member.
That is, if the last program by member X that was inserted in the database is XXX010, then if a new program is inserted it should automatically be XXX011, even though programs by other members have been added in between.
This is the code I use now, for the AfterUpdate when selecting the member in a dropdown in the form. But although I've played around a bit, I just get error messages...
Private Sub medlemsruta_AfterUpdate()
Dim medlemskod
medlemskod = Me![medlemsruta].Column(2)
Dim strMax As String
strMax = DMax("programs_kod", "table_programs", "Left$(programs_kod, 3) = medlemskod")
Me!program_kod = Left$(strMax, 3) & Format$(Val(Right$(strMax, 3)) + 1, "000")
End Sub
Medlemsruta is a dropdown where one selects the member from the members table, where the three digit code is in the third column (Column(2)).
I'm trying to use DMax to get the maximum number for the particular member and after that adding 1 to that for the new program code.
Grateful for any advice! Thanks!

Well, here's my database :
Name : String
Address : String
I want to add an automatically generated column, "no.", to show which number it's in. Like this :
No. Name Address
1. A Unknown
2. B Unknown2
The problem is, I can do that with Auto-Number, but if the user delete row 1, the number in row 2 is still 2, not 1.
Is it possible to generate query that have "no." column in it ?

I have a table with an auto number PK. This table will contain orders. I'd like to use the PK from this table as the Invoice number on the invoice. I'd like to have it start at a number other than "1" just because it looks better on an invoice. I don't know how to do this. I looked at the table design to see if there were options available to me there but couldn't find anything. Is it possible? (I do not know how to use code.)

The title probably doesn't give an idea of what I need, so here goes.
We currently have reference #'s for our bills that include the date requested in mmddyy format, the first 3 letters of the customer, the initials of the order taker and finally a sequential number to show the sumber of bills that day.
example: 120705SEAGMM02 2nd order taken by GMM for Seagate on 12/7
120705SEARLH01 1st order taken by RLH for Seagate on 12/7
I want to generate this number automatically based on the date entered and the initials given of the user. We only deal with one customer at our desk so that will always be "SEA".
I have a query that generates the first portion (date, customer, and initials):
SELECT Format([REQDATE],"mm") AS [Month], Format([REQDATE],"dd") AS [Day], Format([REQDATE],"yy") AS [Year], Format([REQDATE],"mmddyy") AS [Both], [Both] & "SEA" & [PickUpReqData]![INITIALS] AS REFNO
FROM PickUpReqData;
But I can't seem to get my head around the part of generating the number. I know I had done this in a database I created 2 jobs ago but all my files were flooded out in Katrina. (I have since relocated to Atlanta, although I'm not looking for sympathy. But I will take what I can get!)
Anything to point me in the right direction will be appreciated. I am looking to have this on a form and feed the REFNO field in the PickUpReqData table.
Thanks.

I have a table called "OrderDetails" with following fields:
Num
OrderID (Primary key)
Product
Quantity
Price
I want to create a data entry subform that can used to enter order details in this table such that, for a given OrderID, the Num field is automatically set to previous number + 1. For example, for OrderID = 12, if there are 4 products that need to be entered, the 4 records should automatically take 1 , 2, 3, 4.

I am new to Access and I am trying to update our existing database. Presently our database is used to report incidents that have multiple subjects per incident. Is there a way to have a field recognize the data ie. the last name of an individual, and automatically fill in the remaining fields for that individual without having to fill in each field over and over again?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello All,
I was hoping someone could tell me the correct method of performing my intented function.

Table 1 consists of Field 1 (Part Number), Field 2 (Serial Number) & Field 3 (Description).
Table 2 has Field 1 (Part Number) & Field 2 (Description).
Based on the info from table 2, how do I get the program to auto input Field 3 from table 2 (when I type in Field 1 in table 1)?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
On my form, we can enter time off for employees. This is working pretty well, but we have some employees that have flex days every other week or even once a month.
What I would like to make possible on my form, when the user is inputing the data, He makes the initial entry, and then he has an option (checkbox?) that they can select to make this same entry every (week, other week, or 1 month from the date). Have it repeat for a year out maybe, so if the user has every other friday off. It will make an entry for every other friday for the next year.
I've been searching the forum, and I've been reading on the dateadd function. But I'm not sure how to implement it on this form, not sure if there is a way to make it repeat for a year? Also not sure if it's possible (or if that's the best choice) to have checkbox for choices using it?
Any ideas suggestions?
Thanks
Chris.

I have a table
(Not real names)
AutonumberPK
RequestType (Lookup to TypeTable)
RequestNumber
RequestName
This table then Relates to a request detail table.
The question here,
There are two types or request (T1 and T2)
In my form to enter new Requests I will have a dropdown box to select the type of request.
The next field is the request number. If the type of request is T1 then the person entering the request will have a 6 digit number to enter. But if the request is T2 then I need to auto populate the field.
Is this possible?
Or should I just build two forms, one for each type.
Also what would be the best way to auto fill in a number that follow this pattern.
05040001
05 = year
04 = month
0001 = the number of the request for this month.
Every month starts over at 0001
