Adding A Auto Increment Text/Number

Jan 4, 2005

I have a daabase that I am importing via excel. I want the entries to be numbered
ex: MT0001
MT0002
etc....

I would like it to promt the user for the last number(or next number in sequence) entered, then fill in the blank records with the next increment number.
The prefix will also change to so eventually the user would enter into the prompt RD0001. then autofill the 140 imported records with RD0002, rd0003... etc....

I can't really make seperate fields because the MT0001 number will become a barcode and putting them seperate causes many issues.

can this be done? Any help would be great I am still a beginner but slowly learning!
Thanks!

Tables :: Text As Primary Key Vs Auto Number

Jun 19, 2013

When I first was making my database I used all auto numbers for PK's. But then I read an article or two saying that you really don't need to do that if you don't have to (actually, the article said "don't use autonumber if you want anyone to understand your database). I have a few tables (most employee experience type tables) where I just use the word as the PK and there is no auto number in the table at all.I continue to build my database?

Primary Key With Date And Increment

Apr 7, 2006

I'm not sure if it's a simple task, keep in mind I'm new to using access. We have a need at work for a small db just to keep track of some things and access seems appropriate.

I was attempting to set up the primary key in a date / increment format.

Basically the format would be year, month, day, increment (starting at 001)

060125-001
060125-002
060125-003

etc

next day I would like the key to change according to date and reset the increment to start again at 001

060126-001
060126-002

etc

I do realize they are different data types, I'm just not sure how to attack setting it up. Thank you in advance for any help / suggestions. :)

Auto Increment Value

Mar 23, 2008

Hi All

How to assign value to a field based on the value of the same field in the previous record?
Autonumber has its limitations for my purpose. Because, after I start filling up a form, I some times cancel the form filling process, and it affects the continuous numbering.

I guess the issue can be resolved by using some thing like record count facility. i.e. current' record's field value = number of records till previous record + 1.

How to exactly codify or execute the above by vba coding.

The Field Name is "SerialNo.", and Table Name is "StudentData"


Thanks

Modify Auto ID Increment

Aug 22, 2007

Hello,

Can someone tell me how I can change the increment in an existing database.

The PK is currently Auto ID with each new record currently 1001, 1002 and so on.

What I am trying to do is say starting monday the next new entry begins at 5003 versus 1003, in essence I am trying to change my first number to a 5 versus a 1.

Is this possible?

Thanks..

I'm redeveloping a DB for a new project, so have removed all previous records from relevant tables (to start a-fresh)

One snub, the ID fields in the tables are auto increasing from where they left off, rather than from 1

If anyone knows how to reset the auto counters, it would be very much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Auto Increment Field In A Sub Form

Aug 7, 2006

Basically, we have different camera modules on which we perform a given test a number of times, giving rise to 2 tables, tblCamera which will store basic info about the module and tblTest which will hold info for each test perfomed.

The camera module has a unique ID (CameraID, the Primary key in tblCamera and foreign key in tblTest (one to many)). The primary key in tblTest will be a compound key of CameraID and an incremental number for each test performed on a given camera (TestNo). The data for the tests will need to be entered through a form, so I can build a form based on tblCamera with a subform based on tblTest (which would be in datasheet view)... What I am looking for is a way to increment TestNo in the subform, starting at 1. I have tried using

=Nz(DMax("TestNo","tblTest","CameraID = '" & [Forms]![frmCamera]![txtCameraID] & "'"),0) + 1

in the Default Value box for this field, which works to a point but has the curious effect of adding each number twice (as the default value for a new record seems to be added as soon as you start typing in the current 'last row')

I just can't seem to get my head around this one, any suggestions would be much appreciated...

Thanks,
Bogzla

Appending Records With A Desired Auto Number In A Table With Auto Number

Oct 26, 2005

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.

Tables :: Auto-increment Part Of A Composite Key

Oct 17, 2014

My table key looks like this. Its a table that keeps a master record of conferences that occur during a calendar year

ConfYear (Date/Time) primary key
ConfNo (Byte) primary key

As you see its a composite key. Now each time a new record is created i want the ConfNo to autoincrement within its ConfYear. I used a byte as its not usually more than 4. Autonumber does not work as part of a composite key i found out.

2014 1
2014 2
2014 3 etc

And revert to 1 when ConfYear input changes to 2015

Is there a simple way to do this with say, a macro, or is the only way with VBA and DAO?

Auto Increment Field Based On Value Between Two Numbers

Apr 25, 2013

I have inherited an Access DB that is supposed to be kept "alive" but not made much better. On a weekly basis I get an Excel CSV that I'm supposed to import into one massive table; that works just fine.

However, there is another query that takes values from a table named "New Users From Import Table" and appends them to the current "User" table.

But before running that query I have to manually update a field called "Display Name ID" with the next highest number from the User table but only the highest value that isn't in the 9000 number range.

For example, my next highest "Display Name ID" is 1144, which of course does not include the records that range between 9000 - 9008.

I had to manually enter 89 "Display Name ID" values yesterday and I know there has to be a way to update that field when I pull the data over from the temp table without having to do it all manually.

Here's the query that pulls the data into the "User" table (after I've manually entered the incremented values).

INSERT INTO Users ( [Display Name ID], [User Type], Organization, [Display Name], [Alias Name] )
SELECT [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name ID], [New Users From Import Table].[User Type], [New Users From Import Table].Organization, [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name], [New Users From Import Table].[Alias Name]
FROM [New Users From Import Table];

Auto Increment Numbers Based On Value In A Different Field

Feb 22, 2012

how to auto increment one field based on the value in another field. What I have is a table with six fields. There is a foreign key assigned to each record and linked to another table. Four fields in this table are number fields indicating accordingly a number for a category, a number for a subcategory, a number for a subject for a subcategory and a number for an instruction for each subject of subcategory. The last field is the text field for each instruction. Numbers are required to be included in the report. Also, number of categories, subcategories, subjects and instructions vary by each record in the the table which this table is linked to. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have numbers in the subcategory to auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the category field, numbers for each subject field would auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the subcategory field, and numbers in the instructions field to auto increment for each number in the subject field starting, again, with "1". I also need these numbers to restart with "1" for each new record in another table.

Basically, the table would look like this:

cat subcat subj instruction
1------1-------1------1
1------1-------2------1
1------2-------1------1
2------1-------1------1
2------1-------2------1

3------1-------1------1
3------1-------2------1
1------1-------1------1

(if the record in another table is a new/next table)and so forth..I have been looking for anything that could remotely work for me. Every VBA code I've tried is either don't work the way I need it to work, other codes making the field to continue increment numbers if the number already exists in the other field.

Modules & VBA :: Auto Increment Field Based On TWO Other Fields

Jun 5, 2013

I'm making up a stock system for the independent jewellers I work for. Each stock pattern needs an individual code which can quickly be recognised read as tickets are often taken off the jewellery and can be mixed up easily. To this end we categorise based on two criteria:

1. Material
2. Type

At the moment these are as follows:

MATERIAL

IDMaterial
0Base and Miscellaneous
1Silver
2Gold
3Palladium
4Platinum
5Pewter

TYPE

IDStock Type
0Previously Owned
1Ring
2Pendant
3Chain
4Necklace
5Bracelet or Bangle
6Earrings
7Brooch
8Gents
9Gift, Clock or Miscellaneous

So if I had three pairs of silver earrings I want the first to be No. 161, the next 162, the next 163. If I had three Gold Bracelets I'd want them No. 251, 252, 253 and so on...Material and type are both selected form separate Comboboxes on a form.
