i have a table of listed documents that when a user enters the data i want the location field to have a prefix before they enter the data so that the tabel field will show the prefix + the data entered
i.e. DocumentLocation ="C:Forms" input data
Any help guys?
I have been looking at the way I name fields and thought I'd Google the topic. Seems to be a split as to prefix names or not. Looks like the SQL Sever and Oracle groups say not to while Access users are kind of directed to use them...
While I have not prefixed names in the past, I was going to do my next db with the things like:
intMyFldName
strMyFldName
etc...
Where as in the past I would do something like:
my_fld_name_one
my_fld_name_two
etc...
What do you all see as some of the pro's and con's?
Getting better - but still far from being competent with VB can someone please help me with the following code.
On the On Click event of a command button I want to call up a field (from another table/form) and add A to it so it lands in a text box. So using the following example -
The table/form is called Patient and the field in question is URNumber. The form I want to put the command button is called RelatedDetails, and in a text box (IDNo) I want to put code that creatsed URNumber with an A on the end (or the beginning) Any ideas?
I have a table which will contain project information, and want the ID field, which auto assigns a unique number to each record, to be formatted like this P12-001, where 12 = the last two digits of the year the record was created. I know that if I type into the format field "P"00"-"000 i get the ID number in the format I want, but cannot figure how to get the first two zeros, to be the date format.
Further, I would like the ID numbers to restart from 1 each year, so this year this first project, P12-001 and may run through to P12-063, then the first project I enter next year to start P13-001.
Hi All,
I searched the forum before posting and couldn't find my problem, or how to adapt similar problems.
I have created a Database for call logging.
I have 2 types of call Change and Problem. I have 2 seperate tables for these. Each have an Auto Number as a primary key. One Prefixed with a 'C' and one with a 'P'. This was all fine, problem now being i have created a new table for Time Management.
I am trying to link the the time to a call, i can link the 2 primary keys to the 'reference' field in the time management, the problem being there are now 2, 000001, i can manually re-attach the P or C, but i want to write a report to see who's logging the most calls, to do this i wanted to use the time to look accross to Problem or Change and show the User ID, but when i query C000001, it show's no matchs as all thats stored in the table is 000001.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian
I found instructions that said in order to prefix an autonumber i.e. AAA000 you would have to write "AAA"000 in the format section under the general tab in the table design view of the field you are interested in.
I did this however even though the number now appears as AAA000, AAA001 etc in the table it does appear this way in the form - it just appears as 0,1 etc....
My actual prefix is 2006/1010/ i.e. 2006/1010/001, 2006/1010/002 and so forth.
Anyone have an idea of why not?
So I have a table with a bunch of data, InventoryID is the autonumber field which just increments normally, what I want to do is stick 'S000' in front of the autonumber, and for this to be the default prefix for any new items in my database - how would I go about this? I'm guessing some kind of append or update query would do it, but I'm no access whiz, help appreciated folks.........

Any help would be appreciated.
I have a database with a field called "Drawing Number".
I can set it up so that the prefix "STD." always appears and then I type in the relevant number.
BUT I cannot figure out how to set up autonumber so that the "STD." appears and then the auto number is added????
Ok...I've looked at old threads and now I'm more confused than before.
I'm trying to find a way to make my field "PCRTrackingNumber", work like this: 05-0001...05-0002...05-0003...and so on. The 05 represents the year. I currently have the field setup as autonumber, set to Long Integer and increment. Even if it looked like 05-1...05-2...05-3...etc. that would be fine. Basically just looking for a way to add "05-" to the prefix.
I was trying to think of a way to combine a field to the autonumber field and use that instead...but need some help.
Thanks, Jeff
Hi
I am new to VB.
Can anyone tell me what the 'ac' part of a method, such as 'acReport', actually means. I am guseeing it may be something like Active Command or similar.
There is no other reason that curiosity for me wanting to know this...or is there??
Thanks in advance
Is there a way to prevent Access from the absurd notion it needs to concatenate 'DBO_' as prefix to tables linked from SQL Server db? :mad:
Thanks.
I want my JobCardNumber field in table T-JobCards to add automatically month number.

1-00003
For February

2-00002
2-00003
OR

I know the method of setting format in tbl as 000 etc.. but this is one specific.
How could let me get auto invoice number.... like press Button or combo box??
Here we got some related info: 10 customers, each I'd like to get invoice number with their own prefix, example ICP, CUC and etc...
Then, I would like numbering to be incremental from each customer, mean: CUC001, CUC002, then, ICP001, CUC003 and so on...
When I need to put these invoice number into Data Entry table which like below:
Load Date>>Customer>>Particular>>Quantity>>invoice No
1/Jan/2014>>ICP>>part A>>100>>ICP001
3/Jan/2014>>ICP>>part B>>200>>ICP001
5/Jan/2014>>CUC>>part C>>50>>CUC001
18/Jan/2014>>CUC>>part B>>200>>CUC001
23/Jan/2014>>ICP>>part C>>50>>ICP001
I could not use 'Auto Numbering' for each line, as I need out some lines accumulated for one invoice number 'ICP001'.
My questions:
1. What can I do to let me Automatic generate invoice number which increment from last number?
2. What can I do to let me easy to put those 'invoice number' into my Data Entry table's invoice number field? (p/s: Append Query? Update Query?)
3. What if I need sorting (example to group ONE customer and ONE Particular) for my invoicing number? What I meant is ... let say there is 30 lines customer CUC with particular Part B in a same month, and I wanna get them into same invoice number.
I'm making a new database and I want to assign Item Codes to my inventory. For example:
ItemCode (Primary Key) | Item | ItemDescription
I want to generate an automated item code containing the first letter of the Item (as prefix) followed by numbers. Example:
ItemCode: P001
Item: Paper
ItemDesciption: Ordinary white paper
My database has three tables with many columns. The three tables are identical in the names of their columns.
I want to copy all columns from all three tables together into one single table, giving the respective columns prefix table1-, table2-, table3- since the columns would otherwise be indistinguishable.
I already tried to search the board for "table columns add prefix".
I use Access 2010
I managed to copy all columns together into one table through design-view, but cannot figure out the "add prefix" step.
I have a module which generates an autonumber based on a table content (Tbl:Numbervalues) and a prefix (prefix held in Tbl: TextValues)
the module itself works fine and after every getprefix & getnextnumber it updates the number within numbervalues table to the next unique figure.
However what i want it to do is within my database i want to loop through all the records and update a column based on the getprefix() & getnextnumber()
so at the moment lets say column A has values of SHA000001 (in all 100 records) i want it to loop through those 100 records and update to be SHA(from the prefix table) and 000001 all the way to 000100.
Code:
Public Function GetPrefix() As String
On Error GoTo GetPrefix_ErrorHandler
GetPrefix = DLookup("Value", "TextValues", "Description = ""InvoicePrefix""")
If Len(GetPrefix) <> 2 Then
msgbox "The Invoice Prefix Value in the Text Values Table is not 2 characters long!", vbCritical, "Critical Warning"
End If

How to add a prefix to an existing description in a project table, generated from the project number. Here's a sample of my data:
PROJECT NUMBER DESCRIPTION
01200000 Completed Projects
01601530 Steele Sub
I would like the Descriptions to read:
01200000 MO-20 Completed Projects
01601530 MO-60 Steele Sub
The state, "MO," comes from the first two digits "01" and the coop, "60," comes from the second two digits. I have a table of a thousand or so projects in an Access database that I need to amend the descriptions of to include these prefixes. Is there a simple way to do this in Access or in Excel without writing code?
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
I want to filter my subform data, to only show records where field A is a higher value than field B.
Code:
Me.MySubform.Form.Filter = "A > B"
Me.MySubform.Form.FilterOn = True
This way it doesn't find field B.
Code:
Me.MySubform.Form.Filter = "A > " & MySubform.Form!B
Me.MySubform.Form.FilterOn = True
This way it seems to filter all record to the field B value of the first record.
Here is what I am trying to do. I have a query with 2 fields. "Time In" & "Time Out". What I would like to happen is this. Whenever a character, let's say a "t", is entered into that field I would like the current time to populate that field. Right now we are actually typing in the time. I have the fields set up as DateTime fields currently.
View 10 Replies View RelatedHey all,
I have two fields 1 & 2
field 1 is a simple combo list of user defined values ie A, B, C or D
Field 2 relates to a attribute of the data in field 1 and is not always the same for A, B, C and D. i.e
A could have a,b,c,d or e
B could have c,e,f,g or h
C could have a,g,h,i or j
D could have v,w,x,y or z
I would field 2 to have a combo box which only displays a,b,c,d, or e when A is chosen in field 1; c,e,f,g or h when B is chosen; etc
How do I do this?

I've just returned to work after kids and started managing a large Access database related to health, back-tracking over many years.
Currently in filling a form we physically enter:
Apples 2.2
red apple 2.4
red apple cut 2.45
Oranges 5.6
Cucumbers 8.5
Is it possible to get field 2 to automatically fill with a number code due to the text typed in field 1?
FWIW, I'm confident at more basic Access e.g making follow on default value = Dlast("field""table") type stuff but the more complex stuff I haven't touched since Uni over a decade ago and you will need to be gentle while I blow away the cobwebs
Within my table if Field 1 has an answer of Self (from drop down), then, I would like Fields 6-12 to auto populate; however, if Field 1 does not have an answer of Self, then leave Fields 6-12 blank.
I am not quite sure how to lay this out. I am using Access 2010.
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Customers(mfrm)....>Addresses(sfrm)...>Orders(sfrm Add)......>OrdDetails(sfrmOrders)
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
