Trying to do the following:
Having built a table of customers, I need to have an automatically generated ID number for each that IS IN ORDER - which rules out Autonumber and it's gapping tendencies. So, I've developed a new CustID field and set it to "Number", and now just need to figure out how to get it to pull the previous entry and add "1" to it. So it would look like this:
CUSTID NAME
1 Bob
2 Fran
3 Phil
4 Tom
5 (ready for next entry)
Any way to use a function I don't know about, or program some type of solution? Thank you
I have a numeric field (long integer) in a table. I've set the format to fixed. No matter what I set the decimal places to, auto, 0 or 2, when I enter a value of 0.71, it displays as 1.00
In my form, I've also set the field property to fixed, but it displays the value as 1.
I have a text field having data i-e HO-1, HO,2, ACW-25 and so on. The field name is nBadge_num and is Unique. The data in this field is sorted automatically like 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5...because this is the text field.
The number on the form is automatically generated, when the user type HO- for example on field exit event. The last number will generate like HO-5.
Code for automatic number generation is:
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset, Response Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT Max(Right([nBadge_Num],Len([nBadge_Num])-" & Len(Me.NBadge_Num) & ")) AS MaxNo " _
[Code]....
My problem is when the number is generated it give HO-5 instead of HO-14, How can I sort the numeric part of the field ?
Guys, When I generate an excel sheet through vb.net code, I get a Numeric Field OVerflow when the values generated contain a date!
my database is ms access...
The problem is that each excel sheet generated has different columns, depending on what columns the user selects to view. for example: if the user chooses name, age and date, the date would appear on the 3rd column, if the user chooses name, nationality, age, family name, date, then the date would appear on the 5th column, etc.....
I have a query that prompts with a parameter box for the field Contributor_ID. Contributor_ID is a numeric field & Key and I use it to allow the user to print a report based on which Contributor_ID value the user enters. This works fine. However, I would like the user to have the option to enter * and then have the report include ALL the contributor IDs. I have done this before on a text field without a problem, however is this not possible on a numeric field as it is not working? I'm trying not to have another version for the ALL option.
If this is not possible, are there any alternatives?
Hi, I'm running an Append Query from an Excel <linked> file to a table in access. From what I can tell, the first filed is overflowing with a linked filed numeric of 'Double'. You can't change linked table fields. However when I first link the Excel file, the Append works... :D only when I reboot the PC and start the next day's work, do I get this message... :eek:
1. Should I include in my MACRO an import to a table and then append...? :mad: 2. Is there a trick in the append query I can use to prevent the error...? :rolleyes:
I have this bit of code in a routine. CustNum is a Numeric field with a number I need to increase by one With the code below It comes always as 1
Set Db = CurrentDb Set rs = Db.OpenRecordset("Miracle_Cloth_Main", dbOpenDynaset) On Error Resume Next rs.AddNew rs!Name = NewData rs!Cust_ID = NewData rs!CustNum = [CustNum] + 1 rs.Update rs.Move 0, rs.LastModified ' Go to new record 'Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark ' Go to new record 'rs.Close
im able to ru n a delete query then im able to run an append query, when i run it a second time it gives me the error numeric field overflow, any ideas guys Mark
I have a .txt file wicht I link to the database. If I run a query based on that .txt file I get the Error. ...BUT sometimes if i close the database and compact it it works..
I have been using a transferspreadsheet cmd for a while now in Access 2003, but when I recently split the database so that the table the import is going to is now linked rather than residing in the same mdb file, I get a numeric field overflow error. I manually made all the values in the import 0, converted it to text, but got the same error.
When I imported the table back into the file, rather than having it linked, the transfer worked fine.
Can you not run the transferspreadsheet command on a linked table or am I missing something?
how to control the numeric field range..e.g. number 00.01< and > 99.99...I am looking for some simply code under On Change() event...how I can restrict the field should only take input number no character or special characters.
I have a database I have worked on for the sister company of the place I am employed.I have a field I am trying to make alphanumeric that has been numeric. (PO Number on the main form). I had make it alphanumeric a couple of months ago, but it disabled the Edit Customer Information button on the bottom right of the form to where I cant enter shipping addresses and things like that. It should be able to enter multiple shipping addresses.
I need making the PO Number field button alphanumeric and making sure it doesnt mess-up the Edit Customer Information button. I have attached both versions of my database. The GM at the sister company would also like me to create a Spin button where you can take an old record and keep all of the previous information on it, except it gives it a new Work Order# and you can change the date to something newer.
I have a field called PRICE and obviously it is a NUMERIC field as it need to perform calculations such as calculating Total Quantity * Price etc. At the moment the PRICE is inputted manually by the User on a Form and when it has no Price it is simple left blank.
What I wish to include is that on the REPORT when the field is empty it writes the text FOC instead of leaving it empty.
Can you please anyone suggest a way of doing this.
I have been downloading .csv files from a construction website that we use to following projects as they develop. I import the file into Excel and then want to bring it into my database. The issue is with two fields I have that are numeric, however, when downloaded into Excel, the information in the two fields now have an (')added to the beginning and end of the string, i.e. and the second field has an (') and (-) to the data.
'201400409710' '201300697683'
The second field is a zipcode field that comes in like this:
'14063-1127' '14222-1004'
I would like to design a query to strip the ' from each field as well as the (-) in the zipcode field.If I have to write 2 separate queries that is fine.
I am writing a sports database and have a query that displays a seasons fixture list in a form. One of the fields shows the points from each game played. (either 3 for a win, 1 for a draw etc). I can not get these points to be added up and displayed in a form along side the fixture list.
i have to process 3 upcoming months bills .. say i want to show in query like this bill for Nov, Dec, Jan based on the issue date i mentioned earlier and the months to be find from the numeric month field like 3 i mentioned which mean 3 months ahead from issue date.
I have 2 databases with the same structure, but different data.
I want to put all the data in 1 database.
The problem is that the most important table (clients)has an autonumeric id field, that is used to link the records to the fields of many other tables; so, I cannot delete or change that field without losing connections.
