I need to generate quotation numbers for the quotes that I will be populating from my database. The process now is simply the format of date-n. The date is in standard format being "05222015" and the n is simply the number quote generated on that given date, For example the first quote generated today would be 05222015-1. Best way to generate these numbers automatically.
View RepliesI've come across a problem that doesn't make sense to me. I have a form with a combo box on it. Each time the combo box is used or the form is moved to another record it triggers an event to update the text boxes.
I get the information for the text boxes from a query. Everything was working smoothly until I decided to add a text box to the form to be filled in. My thought was I add the column from the query to the code and it will update. No dice. It doesn't recognize any information in the query. But when I run the query as a standalone it sees the text. When i open the table that holds the text, it is still there.
Code:
Private Sub cboDoctor_AfterUpdate()
'update doctor fields on the update of the combo box
If Len(Me.cboDoctor) > 0 Then
Call DoctorName_Change
[code]...
When i step through the code it shows values for each of the columns except for column 11. It reports as 'null.' Things I've tried:
-Updating the combo box by reselecting the value for the record.
-Restarting DB.
-Changing from one record in the combo box back to the original record.
Is there a limit of columns that can be used? Column 10 works just fine...
Is is possible to generate a workbook for each record in a recordset, and title it using the unique identifier for that record?
I created the following code, but it does not seem to work. First of all it doesnt like the string and secondly it does not like the declaration of wb as Excel.Application
Code:
Private Sub generate_wkbk()
Dim rsID As DAO.Recordset
Set rsID = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Select * FROM tblMeeeting;", dbOpenDynaset)
With rsID
rsID.MoveFirst

I have a library function that will allow the user to nominate a query (as one of its arguments) in the calling application which must have an email field. The function will then Do Loop the email field, concatenating it before creating an email and addressing it. The intended functionality is that a developer can easily create a group email, just by creating a query.
This works fine if the query is filtered "statically" - i.e. I specify which group of people by typing in their "Site_ID" in the criteria. However I want developers to be able to creating dynamically filtered queries (perhaps by the group's ID on a calling form). Within the query (to test it), the filter is therefore [Forms]![Test Function Calls]![Site_id]. When I run the code, I am then presented with "Run-time error 3061: Too few parameters. Expected 1". The code in question is:
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim stTo As String 'one of the function's arguments received from the calling function.
Dim stToString As String 'the built up concatenated emails
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(stTo, dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
[Code] ....
Hi. This is probably a stupid question but it is becoming annoying trying to figure it out.
I have created two linked tables and then created forms to enter information into them. While i was working i tested several pieces of information by entering information into the tables and forms. Now i am ready to start importing the intial data and the autonumber is at 13 for one table and around 6 or 7 for the other one.
Is there any possible 'easy' way, without creating the whole tables or forms again, that i can reset the autonumbers to start at 1 again?
Thanks, any information appreciated.

I started work for a wireless company a while back, and they keep track of all the mac address's for customers. The problem was that they choose to use the serial number as the primary key.
Nothing wrong with that, but what is wrong is that the serials arnt totaly in order. They werent sure on there serial number scheme so they just kind of made it up at first, then settled into something more concrete later.
The first serial numbers go up to 999, and this is fine, its after this that things get complicated. They totaly skip the 2 thousands and start again at 3000.
What they have assigned me to do, since i am the one with the only access classes from college is fix it.
What they want to do is type the serial number in a box on a form and it bring up that record. I have already built the form and just tried adding a "find record" button but they didnt like it. They want to just type it in the form, not in a nother window.
Any suggestions? I have suggested we could add all the missing serial numbers to the list, but then we have huge sections of blank data. not a real big deal, but i cant remeber for the life of me how to just type in a few recuring numbers and have access finish it off. I can remeber in excel but its not the same.
Thanks in advanced.
Hi
I am hoping someone can help me here I have created a database with number of forms and queries.
My problem is that my autonumbers dont start from one but start from 40,41,42...etc this started happening
when I was putting some data in the tables for testing and for some reason went all strange have no idea/how
it happened.
How do I get it back to normal with the autonumbers in the tables to start from 1,2,3,4.....etc again?
I hope this is clear to understand.
Cheers
1st question and situation with 2 databases Customer and Plan
I have created two databases. In one of them I want to be able to assign each customer a Customer ID (CID). For the other I have a Plan Database where I want to include a (PID) Plan ID, this database will also contain the CID's relating to the first database.
Anyhoo, how can I add an autonumber to the database for my CID's? It says I cannot due so to an existing database? But I just want to assign the existing ones a number and in the future as I add more records to the database, I want the Autonumber function to come into play.
How can I do this for my Customer Table with the CID?
2nd question
How can I add two auto functions in my Plan Database that can give me (DATE EDITED, and DATE CREATED for each record I may add in the future)?
Also for this database, how can I tie the autofunction from my plan database together? I want to be able to have the autofunction also kick in for this database as more customers in the customer table are added, thus creating more plan ID's in my second database?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
I trying to create a table where the primary key is a customerID, using the autonumber function. I would like to leave the new value setting on Random, since two people may be using database. However, I'm getting a lot of negative numbers as CustomerID's. If there a way I can limit the pool of random numbers to positive only.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Client Table which has the following Primary Key: "Control ID".
The Control ID is an autonumber (ID increases by 1 with each new client).
Now, I also need to create another field called "Client ID". The Client ID is unique for each client, but needs to be a random number, in the range of between 100,000 and 1,000,000.
I've been using the Control ID for the last few months, but now need to add the Client ID. The Controld ID is mainly for internal purposes, and the Client ID will be given to the client.
I can't seem to add this new Client ID field, as tables don't allow for two autonumbers. Is there any way around this? It needs to be an autonumber field as is needs to be random, and entered automatically.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
I would like to create a custom autonumber to use as my primary key in one of my tables in my database.
I would like my records to be displayed as such C000001 , C000002 and so forth. Does anyone know how todo this?
Thanks in advance.
Good evening,
I am a little confused. I have one table with the Autonumber field and another table with a field that looks it up.
Tha problem is that I am using a Format for my Autonumber, e.g.
"O0045". And the field with the foreign key refuses to accept it! It needs a number to be entered, i.e. 45, and then it can format it. So on the whole, the LookUp Feature does not work, because it suggests FormattedAutonumbers, which do not fit in (obviously the foreign key accepts numbers only).
Is there a solution? Thank you in advance.
Uh, hi. I'm new to using access, and I'm wondering if its possible to display an autonumber at the top of a form in a label box. For example, if I had a field set to autonumber and was ading a new record to the database, could I display the autonumber field on the actual form?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an orders database using Ac2K. Main tables are:
tblOrders: Has OrderID which is autonumber, key index (no duplicates)
tblOrderDetail: Has OrderDetailID --long integer
Tables are related in one to many relationships on OrderID-OrderDetailID with both cascades set.
Database is split with tables and front end on server. I can't put front end on desktops because users can access from any of over 600 computers in the school district even tho there are not all that many simultaneous users.
Data is input on main form bound to tblOrders. When user puts in required information (Date,Vendor other etc.), I save record and autonumber generates a new OrderID. The subform window then opens and user then inputs the details of the order to the tblOrderDetail. There can be multiple entries here.
Form and subform are linked by their ID fields as master-child.
PROBLEM: System which runs on network with 2-3 simultaneous users is unstable. It works for a while (maybe 10-20 orders) and then crashes. The subform window is blank (never opens).
When I examine the tables directly I found these problems:
1) Two of the OrderID's (autonumbers) are the SAME! They are usually right above and below each other and usually tied to the same user altho other order info may be different. I don't see any data "collision" if it's the same user. I thought this was IMPOSSIBLE.
2) There is an entry or two in the tblOrderDetail with ######### in one or more fields. The OrderDetailID field is blank. I once found the ######### in the tblOrders as well.
3) The key index is removed from the OrderID.
4) When I go to the relationships window either the link is missing or the cascade and integrity are no longer active. If I try to re-establish, I get a message about missing key index or unmatched data. If I then go and DELETE the records with the ##########, I can re-establish the relationship. And it works for awhile again.
5. Compact and repair doesn't fix anything.
6. One user "thinks" she saw a quick message about "time-out". Is there some setting in Access that I need to change (Tools-Options-Advanced?)
ANY ideas would be much appreciated. There is nothing worse than trying to work with a system that works most, but not all, of the time.
Hi I have tried searching for an answer with no luck.
I am writing a table to do a filing cabinet archive.
I have a table with 3 fields in one is box no, second is item no and third is a description.
I have the first 2 linked as a primary key. The description is just text.
I want to be able to enter a box no and to have the second (item) to enter a number automatically following a sequential no which is relevant to that box. ie
box no Item No
1...........1
1...........2
1...........3
2...........1
2...........2
3...........1
1...........4 this one takes the next no available for box no 1
2...........3 and this one does the same for box no 2
if you go back to a box and start reinputting it picks up the next number.
should i sack trying to do it with the autonumber?
Hi,
I am trying to create a db for software change requests. I have defined 3 tables:
PCR - Change request table. This table contains all info on the software bug.
Release - Software release table. This table contains info about the release date, platform i.e. SAP
Sponsor - The person funding for the change to take place. This table contains info on the sponsor such as Name.
I have identified that I need a one-to-many relationship between the tables. For example, A release will have many PCR's. A sponsor will have many PCR's they are funding.
My Primary keys are: PCR Table - PCR_ID, Release Table - Release_ID, Sponsors Table - BPM_ID.
In order to get a one to many (the many being on the PCR table) I have put two foreign keys in the PCR Table (Release_ID and BPM_ID). Both of these keys in thier own tables are autonumbers. From my undertstanding to get MS Access to relate the data I need to set the foreign keys in the PCR Table to autonumbers. Or do I? I do not want to change the primary keys in the Release and Sponsors table to datatype number as this would mean user manual input which I am trying to avoid.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello All
Firstly I have been reading this forum for a while picking up hints and tips and am very grateful so big grats and thanks to all you guys for the help
The problem I am stuck on at the moment will hopfully be quite simple, but I should point out I have absolutely no skill or knowlede in Modules and VB language I most of my "stuff" via statements within the Design view.
Ok so here we go. I have a query which brings back the top 50 performing sales items, which is done by sorting them in descending order and using that filter thing at the top of the design view, which is set to 50. What I would like to do is insert a field in the query which gives the rank, so the best seller is given number 1, the second best 2 and so on and so forth.
Sorry if there is a topic already, I have tried to search, but couldnt find what I was looking for.
Ta in advance for any help

Hi All
This is my first post so hope I get everything right :-)
Right i have three tables which are laid out as such
ID Number PK
Capacity_Band Number
Product Number
Price Number
previously the ID was a autonumber but this has been removed recently. When I try to change the ID back to Autonumber Access throws up an error. Some of the ID's occasionally get deleted which results in non consectutive numbers, normally I would strip the Id field and start again , but unfortunatly the id's are all interlinked , so this is not an option , unless i reset them all !!!!:mad:
My only thought is to set up a complicated series of lookups (probably vlookups in excel to reset the numbers) . Im hoping there is an easier way to reinstate the Autonumber on the ID field ? :confused:
Many Thanks for help in advance

Hello Everyone
I have a question which hopefully someone can help me with.
I have a database that links into an Outlook email account. I get the information across via File => Get External Data => Link Tables.
However the issue I have is assigning some kind of autonumber to this table. I am not bothered what the number is, just so that I can differentiate between the records.
Is there an easy way of doing this?
Thanks in adavance
I have split the database I have created via the splitter-wizard and found that all tables with auto-numbers have re-set back to 1.
How do I get around this problem - I have tried running an append query but it flags up an error message. For certain functions to work in the database I need to set autonumbers at different amounts .
Hi gurusI'm looking for query to extract records from one table linked to another table based on different ranges. Now here goes.SELECT Invoice.dbInvoiceNum, Invoice.dbInvoiceDate, Invoice.dbFirstName+' '+Invoice.dbFamilyName) AS dbPatient, Invoice.dbdob, Invoice.dbServiceProvider, InvoiceItem.dbItemNum, Invoice.dbPayerName, Invoice.dbTotal, Invoice.dbTotal-Invoice.dbBalance AS dbPaid, InvoiceItem.dbServiceTax, TransactionLog.dbTransCodeFROM ((Invoice INNER JOIN InvoiceItem ON Invoice.dbInvoiceId = InvoiceItem.dbInvoiceId) INNER JOIN LEFT JOIN TransactionLog ON Invoice.dbInvoiceId = TransactionLog.dbInvoiceIdWHERE (dbInvoiceDate Between #4/1/2006# And #4/30/2006#) AND (TransactionLog.dbTransCode <> "CRDC") AND (Invoice.dbActualTotal > 0) AND (InvoiceItem.dbItemCode Between '57506' AND '58115') AND (InvoiceItem.dbItemCredit = False)ORDER BY Invoice.dbInvoiceDate, Invoice.dbInvoiceNum, TransactionLog.dbTransCode DESC;Now problem from above query is that I not only want invoices with items from the range(InvoiceItem.dbItemCode Between '57506' AND '58115')also want invoices with items in range of(InvoiceItem.dbItemCode Between '1' AND '5267') AND/OR (InvoiceItem.dbItemCode Between '57506' AND '58115')Invoices with items could either be just in range of '1' AND '5267' AND '57506' AND '58115'.I am not interested in invoices in range '1' AND '5267' without the range '57506' AND '58115'. For every invoice in the range of '57506' AND '58115' it will have a range '1' to '5267'.The above query just rips out the invoices with items in the range '57506' AND '58115' and showing duplicates and not the items also contained in range '1' to '5267'. Writing separate queries and extracting and looping takes far too long especially if total database dump was involved. It could take 20 mins to create report due to volume of records could be somewhat over 300K. I have hope and done before in one query that takes little time, however this seems little complicated.Any help would be much appreciated.

View 12 Replies View RelatedHi, I have a couple questions about a project I am trying to work on right now.
I am very very new to Access but am learning quickly. I just wanted to run this by everyone and see if any of you had any ideas.
The goal of my database is to track patients from our clinic. I have it set up as follows:
1 table containing basic patient info: Med record #, name, date of birth, age, gender, family history of cancer, etc etc etc.
1 table listing all the possible diagnosis of cancer that we treat in our clinic
1 table listing all the procedures that are performed by our surgeon
--------
Here is the issue. I can enter all the patient info with NO problem. All my lists populate nicely and I have dropdown boxes to make it easy to choose items, etc. I cannot, however, figure out exactly what I should do if a patient has multiple surgeries, multiple diagnosis, and even multiple testing types done on tissues from each of those surgeries.
How on earth can I set up a form so that I can enter all the basic patient info. Then enter a procedure and a diagnosis - then enter a second procedure and a second diagnosis (though the diagnosis would most likely be exactly the same as the first procedure). I don't want to have 3 records for each patient if we perform 3 procedures during one surgery visit. If the patient comes BACK for another surgery, that is a different matter.
Sorry for the long post but I appreciate ANY help anyone can provide.
Hi ,
say I have a table:
video: id, title, artistname, countryid
that has the values
1, 'VideoA','Artsit123' ,4
2, 'VideoB', 'Artsit567' , 5
3, 'VideoC', 'Artsit167' ,6
4, 'VideoD', 'Artsit890' , 7
5, 'VideoE', 'Artsit468' , 8
6, 'VideoF', 'Artsit752' , 9
And another table country: id
that has the values:
1,4,5
Basically is there a query that can be written for me to check if ALL the countryids from the country table will return an artist, and if not can it let me know. For example obviously there is no countryid with 1 in the video table so Im not interested in that batch in the country table. I know I can just execute the query 3 times to see if a result is produced but what if the country table is massive (btw the country table is generated dynamically using xml). Any help on this would be very mch appreciated
(Hope this is in the right place)
Hiya Guys,
I am not new to Access, but have only before created basic databases with simple structures and I am having problems with my latest project.
The idea is to have two tables, “tblStudents” and “tblClasses”. I also want to have a form called “frmClasses” and this is proving a bit of a problem. I am trying to display the class data for each class record on the form (Time, date, details), but below that want a table containing all of the students which are registered to that class, which at the moment is just causing me to go round and round in endless circles.
Sometimes, the form just won’t load and after I change it, it will just put in duplicate records containing the same class data but a separate record for every student in that class.
I have a relationship set up in the database which links the field “ID” in students to the field “student_ID” in Classes. But I think that the problem may be there. I can post a copy of the database if you want.
Any help appreciated,
Chris Farrants
im am making a database to keep track of the soldiers in my company. right now i have come across a problem and am having troubles with entering the phone numbers. i have three tables for this purpose;
soldier(SoldierID, SSN, LastName, FirstName.....)
phone(PhoneID, Number, Type (cell or home))
soldier_phone(SoldierID, PhoneID)
in my main soldier form which uses the soldier tbl for its data i embeded a form to enter in phone numbers, which doesnt work. long story short, i can only get the phone table to be filled out, but the soldier_phone table never gets any values so the phone number never gets linked to the soldier.
any help would be great, thanx.
