I have an order table [OrderMain], which contains [OrderNumber] "Auto Number" along with various customer related only info
Then i have a order line table [OrderLines] which contains the items ordered. Which looks like
OrderNumber
OrderLine
PartNumber
These tables are in a form, relationship of [OrderNumber]
This structure enables me to order as many parts as i'd like against 1 order number.
What i would like to do is set something similar to a auto number in the OrderLines table. This would be in the Lines Field.
The problem is, AutoNumber can't be used in the [Lines] field as each new order line # would continue from the last #.
The result would look like:
:confused:

I have an existing form where users type in information and it generates a couple of reports. In one of the fields, Customer PO Number, the user enters a number from a customer. Up until yesterday all of the customers we have been dealing with have used numbers only for their PO numbers. However, we have a new customer that requires alphanumeric PO's. Is there a simple way to change this field from a number to alphanumeric without having to redo each form, report and/or query. I am using MS Access 2010.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble with a field on my DB. I have a field named zip code. It has a limit of 5 characters that are only number values, I'm not having any trouble with entering information at all, it's easiest when I just tab into the cell from the previous one. However, the part I am having trouble with is when I click within the field and the cursor, let's say, is at the second character line, and I enter the zipcode 15222, it'll only enter 1522 since my cursor is at the second line.
How can I fix this so that wherever my cursor is, within the box it'll type the full 5 digit zip code? My boss is insistent on making sure that even if he clicks towards the right of the box, it should type the full number.
have a query with a field that contains numbers with 3,4,and 5 digits. I want to format it so it displays all as 5 digits by adding 0s to the front of the number. EX:

change to:
00324
-4856

Help please. Dont want to do it in VBA either. I would rather build it as an expression field or something.
dear frnd,
i have a access program for printing cheque. i want to use a text box which automaticaly convert number ito digits from user input text box.
I'm just to work with Fox Pro, and I am therefore puzzled with how to define the exact number of digits in a field in a table in Access. If I need 9 digits + 2 decimals in a number filed, how do I define that in design view?
Also, I need to know how to export a table into a text file, with a format without any spaces, and each record is divided with a new line. This an old IBM text format file.
Thanks, Torsan
Hi there
Im working on an update query to add 2 zeros to the front of a field where it is less than 8 digits long. I'm not sure how to go about this, can anyone help me out?
Cheers
Hi guys,
I have a text box, which requires a 8-digit number entry. I have wrote the code to check that the length is 8 and if it isn't a label will turn visible next to the field telling the user entry must be 8 digits.
This works for when i enter a number less than 8-digits but when i input a number with more digits as it does not fit into the text box it turns it to a scientific format value and when the code runs it shows the length is actually 8! And therefore the entry is valid!
I.e. when i input 123456789 the text box shows 1.23E+08 which is 8 charecters!
I dont want any error messages to pop up as i handle them by code and use labels to show the error message next to the problem field and i would like to keep this consistent. Is there any way i can do this by a function or a property in the table or form?
I appreciate any help/advice
cheers
hello,
simple problem. how would i grab just the last six digits of a social security number?
example: 123-45-6789 to 456789
I'm guessing that I should use the Format function, but I'm not quite sure how to write it. Thanks!

I have a report to print that only shows the last 4 digits of the Social Security field. How can I do so for the entire list of social security #'s.
Thanks in advance.:cool:
I want to know if there's a way to sort alphanumeric fields where the number of digits aren't always the same.
Example: I have the following: 2a, 10a, 3a.
Currently, it sorts: 10a, 2a, 3a.
Is there a way to get it to sort 2a, 3a, 10a without adding a 0 before 2a and 3a?
I have a form with an unbound textbox. I want to be able to enter a sequence of digits and spaces (e.g., 02 950 4187); however, when I paste this into the box, I always have to delete the two spaces until the number is 9 digits long. Then it will accept the number and go look for the prize. How do I get the textbox to accept the number I paste in?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am having massive problems with data – I have imported data only to find out that Access has not imported all of it as there is a max of 255 fields, and I have loads more!!
I think I can get round this by importing without the delimited or fixed widths into a memo field but this gives me another problem, the the first 12 digits are the ‘Ref_No’
So I have a table called tblCustMemo that I have imported, and I have 3 fields, ID (Primary Key), Ref_No (new and totally empty) and Memo.
How can I put the first 12 characters from the memo field into the Ref_No field?
Then remove the first 13 characters from the memo field (there is a space after the Customers reference number)
I presume I would do this by update queries, but I am currently at a loss!!
I tried this, just to get the first 13 characters then was going to try update query, but this only returned 7 records out of 8687!!
SELECT Custmemo_TEST.ID, Custmemo_TEST.Ref_No, Custmemo_TEST.Memo
FROM Custmemo_TEST
WHERE (((Custmemo_TEST.Memo)=Left([Custmemo_TEST]![Memo],13)));
I'm trying to export from a text file. However one of the fields contains 2 items of data, ie the code and name of a person.
eg 'po2 Paul O Mahony'. What I want to do is query only the code(first 3 digits) from this field. ie 'po2'. Is there a way of doing this within a query (sql) or do I have to use vbscript to solve this?
thanks
I am working on an import spec from a text field and there is a field with 4 digits only. Is it possible to import this directly as a date field or will I need to import as number or text and then run a conversion to get it to a date field?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis method use to work. I have a split database.
My usual method is to delete everything in my table, which does not need to be maintained, then I Compact and Repair and re-open the form and my ID is reset to 1. Now it just continues from the last number I used.
This ID field can and will blow up pretty fast, so resetting it would be useful.

I have a DB that was given to me with a SSN field that has the Number Data Type. Therefore, if the SSN has a zero as the first number, it is not coming up. Other than changing data type to Text, is there a property that would keep the initial zero? Thank you for your assistance.
