Hi everybody,
I am appending the information I have in one table to another. The first table's name is Videos and it only has 5 records. When I append the information from the other table which has some of the fields of the Videos table (but doesn't have a primary key), the new records in the Videos table have as primary key value (the autonumber field) values that start from 44699657. Why is this happening?
I have the field called subject_id which is autonumber in the form of 10001,10002,... And I want the field with the same format to appear in another table. But appending it leads to different numbering, i.e. the filed becomes 1, 2, ... instead of 10001, 10002 as I've formatted it in its original table. How could I append/copy such a field?

:rolleyes:
I have two tables linked to each other in one to many relationship. Instead of auto number, the date and shift (Text) is being used as the primary keys (Composite Primary Key). Here is the tables structures,
Payouts Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night) : Primary Key
Bills Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night): Primary Key
Autonumber: Primary Key
The tables Payouts and Bills has one to many relationship. One payout row can have many bills. The problem is that I want to start the Autonumber in bills table everyday from 1. As date and shift are different for every day so even if i start bills from 1 everyday, it wont make same primary key. I can do it manually but I want to make it automatically.
I would like to create a query that has a new autonumber field. Any suggestions or add-ins available? Thanks.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
8 posts on the subject over a number of years and the answer seems to have been no, you can't have an auto number field in a maketable query.
Is there any reasonable way to create a sequential count of the records shown in the maketable query, not the underlying records?
Background:
I have a maketable query that selects fields from 2 tables which are ordered in a specific way. The sigma button is clicked to reduce this recordset to unique entries and this is what goes into the created table.
This newly created table is a row heading for a pivot table query and I want it ordered by the method used in the query. An autonumber or some method of counting/incrementing the records would do the trick.
I am currently creating the table and then adding the Autonumber field manually, which is hardly a solution at all. :confused:
An afterthought before I post: The reason I want the autonumber field is that the pivot table shows the records in alphabetical order rather than the order the table holds the records. Is there any way of forcing the pivot table to use the records as ordered in the table. A note of caution here, I get very confused when dabbling with pivot tables. :eek:
Any thoughts/solutions welcomed. And if I'm asking the wrong question, let me know! :)
When I produce an append query that has field names such as 2007/08, the field name is truncated to 2007/8, which results in the query failing. SQL:
INSERT INTO [tblTemp Input] ([2007/08], [May-07]
Becomes:
INSERT INTO [tblTemp Input] ([2007/8], [May-7]
when the query is saved and re-opened.
I could rename the fields of the source table but is there an easier solution?
I am using Access 2003.
I have a main form which does nothing except filter subforms through a cbo.
On the main form are two subforms. One shows top line data, the other shows a breakdown of the top line data, and are linked by an unbound textbox (it's how it works, and does so perfectly)
I'm running an append query to duplicate a record in the second form using vba/sql BUT... need to have one of the fields values changed based on a field on the parent table.
If Forms!frmmain!frmPost.Form.RecordsetClone.RecordCo unt > 0 Then
strSql = "INSERT INTO [tblposts] ( TopLineID, AccountID, TransDate, Cat, SubCat, Debit, Credit ) " & _
"SELECT " & lngID & " As NewID, AccountID, TransDate, Cat, SubCat, Credit, Debit " & _
"FROM [tblposts] WHERE TopLineID = " & Me.TopLineID & ";"
DBEngine(0)(0).Execute strSql, dbFailOnError
Else
MsgBox "Main record duplicated, but there were no related records."
End If
Credit and Debits are reversed as I want one to zero out the other.
In regards to the AccountID, I've tried allsorts and it's just not working... to the point I'm almost giving up and finding an alternative.
Whats the "Correct" syntax to attach a "WHERE" statement to the highlighted [AccountID]'s (which needs to be the value on AccountID on the Parent table)
I have a tbl that gets populated from an append query and a form that is crated from this table. there is one field that gets populated from the append query called departments, the department names are long and we have abbreviated versions of the department names that I would like to use.
In the table I have two columns “department” (for long name) and “updated department” (for abbreviated department name) When I use the append query to update the department (long name) I want the abbreviated department column to populate.
For example if department column reads "Drilling and Workover" from the append query, I want updated department column to slefpopulate to read "D&WO"
I want the updated department field to automatically fill with the abbreviated name. How do I do this?
I am using an append query to move data into another database. One of the fields being imported is a date field in text form (20141201). I need it appear in the final database in text form (01/12/14) I have tried using several date conversions and cant get this work. Ideally i need the final value as a text rather than date.
View 8 Replies View Relatedis possible to run an Append Query and update a field at the sametime?
i.e. I would like the MealDate field to be incremented by 1, just not sure how to write the code within the query!!!
This is what I have so far!!! not working
MealDate: ([MealDate](Date()+1))
I want to set a table field's default value to whatever is displayed in a certain field on a certain form at the time.In other words, say I have a database with a table called TABLE1, and two fields called NAME and SCHEDULENUMBER. I have a form called CreateSchedule with a SCHEDULE NUMBERCONTROL form and a NAME form, and I can enter names onto it, and it records to the proper SCHEDULENUMBER. So if I pull up SCHEDULENUMBER 4, and add three names, when I go back into TABLE1, I can see those three new names, and each one has the SCHEDULENUMBER set to 4.
What I'm trying to do is write an APPEND QUERY to copy a list of names from a different table, and paste them into TABLE1. The problem is that the other table doesn't have a SCHEDULENUMBER field. What I want to do is put a button on the CreateSchedule form that runs an APPEND QUERY, and sets the SCHEDULENUMBER to whatever value is displayed on CreateSchedule's SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL field.
I tried setting a default value in TABLE1's field properties for that SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL field, but I keep getting error messages. I just want TABLE1, whenever I add a new record (regardless of how I add the record: manually typing it or clicking the append query button) to look at the form CreateSchedule, and set it's own SCHEDULENUMBER field to whatever is displayed in CreateSchedule's SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL form.
I have two tables each with an ID field (autonumber/PK/No Dup etc).
I want to append two fields from one table to the other table. I have set up an Append Query to do this but it won't work - I get the following error - "The INSERT INTO statement contains the following unknown field: 'FiID'...."
I am giving two tables and I need to create a macro that automatically updates these tables depending on the value of a Yes/No field. If it's No, it's in the 1st table TableOne, if it's Yes it automatically updates to TableTwo.
So, the best way I saw to go about is to set up an append query and then create a macro that runs it
So my tables have the values FirstName, LastName and isValid (more but keeping it short)
So for my append query, I put TableTwo in the pop up I get. Then, where it asks for the field I put it
Field:FirstName
Table:TableOne
AppendTo:[TableTwo].[FirstName]
Criteria:[TableOne].[isValid] = 1
I do this for all (it was autocompleted except the Criteria field). I tried to keep Criteria with data only for isValid but that didn't work. I wrote it for all the field names, still didn't work. Whenever I click run it says it'll append 0 rows.
hi Guys,
I have been looking at different post and checking Microsoft help files as well, but still can't seem to fix this problem.
I am having 2 tables. The first table is connected to a form for viewing and entering data, and in the second table i am just copying 3-4 fields from the first table.
I am trying to use the insert statement to insert records in the second table, and everytime i click on the "Add" button to add the records i get the following error "MS access can't append all the records in the append query ... blah blah blah"
However if i close the form and reopen it, and goto the record (as it is saved in the first database) and now click on the add button to add the fields to the second table/database, it works.
What am i doing wrong???
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I have a field in one table that needs the sum from fields in another table.
How do I go about doing that?
Thanks,

I have a table with 6000 records. The last autonumber is 8810 and now my next autonumber wants to start at 2752. Is there a way that I can renumber that entire field to number correctly? I have tried compacting and repairing the database. Your assistance is appreciated.

I have deleted all records from a database and wish to re-set an autonumber field back to 1.
At present when we start re-entering records it starts from record 769 where the old records finished.
Can you please advise how we can do this.
Thanks
hi
I want to start value in autonumber field at certain number than 1
ex. start autonumber at 1000 then 1001 ......
how
thank you
I have an autonumber field that somehow got reset back to one. Is there anyway to reset this number, I need it to be back around 1900.
This is a big problem because I use the auto number as an order number and also use that number to link the options selected to that order. Now that it has reset to one, it is picking up options from the original order number one.
Any suggestions?
Addtl Info. This is in an Order Table. When the order is ready for manufacturing it is assigned a serial number and the order is deleted from the order table and put into a production table.
Hi
I want to renumber an autonumber field to remove the gap appear after deleting the record.
I know it is possible by deleting field and creating a new autonumber field having same name.
But all this I want to do with code.
I will be gratefull if any one help me.
Regards
:confused: Rahulgty
could someone please tell how i can reset an autonumber field to start from 1.
basically i have created a table and carried out a number of test with useless data. now that i have the table set up the way i want it and i have tested the queries etc i want to delete all the current data in the table and begin filling it with correct data. however i want my primary id to start from 1 which at the moment it doesn't because i have just deleted 50 records.
thanks in advance
I had a table with an ID field defined as AutoNumber. It contained a large number of records. When I deleted those records, and added a new record, it was alloted an ID which was an increment of the last ID when the Table was full previously.
I want that the AutoNumber ID be ReNumbered from start if any record is deleted.
I am creating a table with a field named Payment ID. I want the table to increment the number of this field automatically when the user is trying to enter a new record, i.e. set the field as an autonumber.
I know that this is very basic, my MS Access skills is really limited.
Cheers.
All,
I have trawled boards and sites, but cannot find the answer!
I have a make-table query, and I wish to create an AutoNumber field.
Now I know that if you put fieldname: "" , a Text field will be created and if enter fieldname: [] then a Binary field will be created.
Is there a code I can use to create an AutoNumber field?
Help appreciated!
