Problem With Sequential Fields In A Report
Jul 5, 2006
I'm making a database that has to do with ski lifts. There is a report I'm trying to make about some safety equipment, the way the boss wants it structured with six consecutive text boxes, like this:
[Function][location][check box][Function][location][check box]
Now the text boxes are filled with values from a table. The problem is that if you put two text boxes side by side it will just display the same values. I was wondering if there is a way to get it to display consecutive values from the table even if they are side by side.

I have a rental database and I print several contacts for leases etc. what I want to do is have a unique reference number or something inserted to the report every time that it's printed. What I am trying to achieve is to keep track of which tenant corresponds to the report (Lease) printed by using reference number.
There is a seperate form which holds the tenants details and I would like to have a field on that form which would show the same reference number as the report so I can track which report was printed for who.
Whats the best/easiest way to accomplish this?

I have an odd thing happening with my reports. There is a main report that gives class information (from query). There are two subreports (from queries also ) with scores (one for each type of test). There are some unbound controls on the main form that display a count of how many scores are recorded which are totals from the subreports. The controls all report the correct numbers however, when I scroll down to view each record, some of them change to #error, or #name, or similar for a moment. Sometimes they will stay in error form when I stop scrolling but change to correct if I scroll up just a bit. Is this because the controls won't calculate unless that report record has focus?

I have an unbound form with an associated report. When the user hits the 'print' button on the form/screen, the report is launched in the background. In the On Load event of the report I populate the report fields from the forms field as so:
Code:
Me.txtAddrMainLine2 = "NAME " & UCase([Forms]![frm_OrderRx].[txtPatientName])
This works like a charm as long as I call the report in Print Preview mode (i.e. with acViewPreview). But if I send the report directly to the printer, none of the fields print.
I've read about using other report events to populate the fields (e.g., On Format and On Print) and also something about using TempVars to pass the data. But I haven't read anything that's clear and definitive about the full answer.

I need a form to set up records
The table is something like
AutoID, Sequence , Low, High
Data would be
1, 1, 1 499
2,2,500,999
3,3,1000,9999
4,4,10000,999999
etc
Ho do I go about ensuring my sequences are correct
ie I wouldn't be able to add a record - 5,5,100,200
or if a user was to delete a record the user would be informed the sequences were out?
Thanks for any assistance.

Shall be grateful for clarifications for these two :
1. I have two fields - TheYear (set to take the current year) and another for sequential numbering. In fact I created this to replace the autonumber field. As suggested by a member I created a Generate button with the criteria as under
Private Sub Generate_Click()
If IsNull(Me![NumFld]) Then
Me![NumFld] = Format(Nz(DMax("[NumFld]", "[DiaryTable]", "[TheYear]='" & Year(Date) & "'"), 0) + 1, "00000")
End If
Me![NumFld] = Format([NumFld], "00000")
End Sub
It works fine. and when the year is changed, the numbering starts from 1 again. My question is how do I make it to auto generate the number so that the user doesnt have to click the Generate button everytime to get the number. Suggestions please.
2. Is it possible to change this sequential numbering midway i.e. to start from a different number and increment by one?
Grateful for help

Hi, Newbie Question,
what can I include in my code to prevent a user from entering a date into a textbox (via code via combo boxes)
that is an earlier date than the last or latest date field record entry. The two questions I s'pose I'm asking are how do I reference that
last or latest Record (which maybe the user just inputted via the form) & how do I approach the code. The user will be inputting data
for his club members for a monthly sporting event & I'm trying to prevent him accidentally entering an earlier date than the last meet.

Hello, I am very new to access and I am trying to create a simple sytem to help us create part numbers. We are using a 2 digit descriptor to help define the part some. Then we want to add a sequential 7 digit number on to that.
Example:
01 (is electrical)
02 (Shop supplies)
etc....
So...
01-0000001 would be a part number for an electrical part.
I do not understand how to have access add the zeros to the front. I would also like to be able to jump a bit out of line to reserve part numbers for certain projects and also include some that we already have.
If this make any sense to anyone, any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
james

I have an existing table with a field labelled Job Number (17 Job Numbers). Each month I import a new table and match each record via another field (serial number). For each new record, one or many, I want to attach a sequential Job Number. In this example the new job numbers need to start at 18 then 19 etc. How is this possible? I am fairly new to Access so please be gentle!. Cheers

Yo there - thought Id fire a question out regardin numbering:
I have a table players and a table team.
Players sign up to teams, and I have a report which shows each team, and the players underneath.
Team
Player 1
Player 2
Now, after all the players are assigned to a team, I want to assign each player within each team a random number, sequential.
So when I run the report, it will be like:
Team A
1. Player 1
2. Player 2
Team B
1. Player 1
2. Player 2
Any pointers!?

Hi all,
Simple question (I hope)...
Need to devise a way of updating a field with an ascending sequential number within a group of records of similar type.
e.g.
Say I have records which consists of numerous IDs and various job descriptions within the each ID
13000 Head of Maths 1
13000 School Secretary 1
13000 Head of Maths 2
13000 Head of Maths 3
13000 School Secretary 2
14000 Head of Maths 1
So in this case each 'Head of Maths' and 'School Secretary' sequentially increments until there is a new ID.
Any help appreciated.
thanks,
Alex

I need to generate line numbers for an access query. This query is run via VB code. After it runs, a Dlookup is performed to search for the line number of a particular order detail id. When it finds it, it puts the line number along with other unique order detail information into a text file to be used by a computerized saw that cuts the parts out. Here's a sample query:
DetailID SortID Frmlgnth Stilelgnth OrderID SeqNo
1874864127.12511.9375160004
1874866127.1259.6875160006
1874868127.1258.5160008
1874869127.1255.8125160009
1874867111.8758.8125160007
1874863110.12514.875160003
1874865110.12510.5625160005
1874871221.62514.3751600011
1874872221.62513.81251600012
1874873221.62513.56251600013
1874875221.62511.68751600015
1874876221.62511.6251600016
1874877221.62511.06251600017
1874870221.2516.31251600010
1874874219.12511.751600014
1874878219.12510.251600018
1874879219.1257.1251600019
1874862534.5103.375160002
1874861534.536.875160001
The query is supposed to be sorted with SortID Descending, Frmlgth Ascending, Stilelgth Ascending - in that order. The sort is working fine. However, the Sequential numbering is not. The OrderdetailID has NO bearing on the sort order. Here is my SQL code:
SELECT OrderDetails.OrderDetailID, ProductTypes.ProductTypeSortOrder, OrderDetails.FrameStileLengthActual, OrderDetails.FrameRailLengthActual, OrderDetails.OrderID, (SELECT count(*) FROM OrderDetails As x WHERE x.orderdetailid <= OrderDetails.orderdetailid AND x.orderid = orderdetails.orderid) AS SeqNo
FROM OrderDetails INNER JOIN ProductTypes ON OrderDetails.ProductType = ProductTypes.ProductType
GROUP BY OrderDetails.OrderDetailID, ProductTypes.ProductTypeSortOrder, OrderDetails.FrameStileLengthActual, OrderDetails.FrameRailLengthActual, OrderDetails.OrderID
HAVING (((OrderDetails.OrderID)=[forms]![orders]![orderid]))
ORDER BY ProductTypes.ProductTypeSortOrder, OrderDetails.FrameStileLengthActual DESC , OrderDetails.FrameRailLengthActual DESC;
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not too good with SQL, but I can figure it out (I think!). I've searched all the formus, but all the reference I can find regarding this don't work for me in my application...
I greatly appreciate any help you can give!

Hello Access friends,
Trying to have a sequential autonumber for the ScreenID with the DMax () function.
Please advise on what is wrong with the following :
=Nz(DMax("[ScreenID]","[Screenprep]","[ScreenID] = '" & [CarModel] & "-" & Left$([Category],1) & "'")+1,0)
Neither putting this code in control source or beforeupdate event of the form is not working.
I have looked around and from previous posts in the forum come up with this module. But it is not working either:
Public Function NewScreenID() As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim ScreenID As String
Dim CarModel As String
Dim Category As String
On Error GoTo Err_Execute
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT Max([Screenprep].[ScreenID]) AS MaxScreenID from [Screenprep];", dbOpenSnapshot)
If IsNull(rst!MaxScreenID) Then
NewScreenID = [CarModel] & "-" & Left$([Category], 1) & Format(1, "0000")
Else
NewScreenID = rst!MaxScreenID + 1
End If
rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
NewScreenID = ScreenID
Exit Function
Err_Execute:
'An error occurred, return blank string
NewScreenID = ""
MsgBox "An error occurred while trying to determine the next sequential number to assign."
End Function
In advance thank you for your time.Can someone please guide me on how to sort this out?

I've tried using DMax codes shared by the generous members of this group. But i can't get the results i needed. :-(
My table consists of the following fields:
ColID - PK
PolID - FK
AmountPaid
ORDate
ORNo
I added another field which i named "ColNo" - this field should assign a sequential number to a new payment record for a specific PolID.
My table looks like this:
ColID PolID AmountPaid ORDate
11125 123 2,000 10-Sep-06
11126 123 2,000 10-Oct-06
11127 123 2,000 10-Nov-06
11128 456 1,000 8-Aug-06
11129 456 1,000 8-Sep-06
11130 789 4,000 21-Aug-06
Again, my idea is to create a sequential number for the ColNo field:
ColID PolID AmountPaid ORDate ColNo
11125 123 2,000 10-Sep-06 1
11126 123 2,000 10-Oct-06 2
11127 123 2,000 10-Nov-06 3
11128 456 1,000 8-Aug-06 1
11129 456 1,000 8-Sep-06 2
11130 789 4,000 21-Aug-06 1
I placed the code Nz{DMax("field name","table name"),0)+1 on the control source of the ColNo field and i also tried copying numerous similar codes to the BeforeInsert, OnCurrent, etc.. events, but the result is ALWAYS THE NEXT MAXIMUM NUMBERFOR THE "ENTIRE" POLID.
What i mean is, if i enter a new record, it would give me a sequential number of "4". I figured out this is because 3 is the last maximum number as i have shown on my sample table. Even if i use the PolID "789", the number shown on the ColNo field results to "4".
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN "2". Considering that the last ColNo used for PolID 456 was "1".
Hope someone could help me on this..
Thanks!

Hello,
I have a field called "Project #" that needs to generate a unique number each time a command button is clicked. For example, when the button is clicked the blank "Project #" field is filled in with "653001". After the "Project #" field is filled in the button also runs a code to create a report exported into Excel. This report will only have the records with the Project Number of "653001".
Then, when more records are added and it's the end of the next week, the button is clicked again and the "new" blank "Project #" fields will be filled with the next Project number which would be "643002". A report will again be created but now with only the records with the Project number of "643002".
The first three characters will always be the same for the Project Number "653" but the last three will increase whenever the button is clicked to update any new records that have a blank "Project #". So, it should look like: 653001, 653002, 653003, 653004, etc.
I know it sounds confusing but I hope someone can help.
Thank!
Elizabeth

Dear All,
I know that there may have been many posts on this and I have searched for a total of about 2 hours in these forums before posting, so please don't shoot me down for asking this.
I simply need to know how I can create a unique, alphanumeric order number. I was going to use Autonumber, but from what I have read on these forums, that is not the way to go, as Autonumber is simply to identify the record.
What I need is an number like so: ST000. It needs to start at ST142 and increase by one each time. Obviously I would like to avoid gaps from records being deleted or not completed etc.....
I really have no clue how to do this, and would appreciate it if anyone can point me to a post that would help, or offer me the solution.
Thanks,

Hi,
Just trying to figure out how I can run a select query on some data I have and how to also include an additional field which has a value counting the number of rows.... eg in the first row there would be the usual results and the new field would have a value of 10001, second row would be 10002, third would be 10003.
I've done some searches for sequential numbering but couldnt find anything so far.
Thanks, j

I have a form with 3 tabs...each tab has the same subform embedded in it.
There are 3 sequential records in the database, and my desire is to have each record display on its' proper tab.
How can I set filter criteria for each subform to append the record sequence identifier to the link master/child fields to ensure that only the appropriate record displays on each tab?
Basically, I trying to use tab controls with embedded subforms to display the many side of a one to many relationship. The parent form contains the data for the parentrecord, and I want the subform, with a tab for each related record, to show the child side of the data relationship. One child record per tab, utilizing the same identical sub-form for each.

I've taken on the task of transitioning excel reports (and their format) to a database. One report summarizes all the parts of a piece of furniture, and the order of the machines each part goes to.It looks similar to this:
Part# Part Name Machines/Operations
M7264Top Panel 112114116120121325216
M7265Under Top Panel 112114116120121
M7266Base Assembly 411325216311310312316
The table this comes from has both operations and setups, so I used a query to filter only the operations.The query (qryOperations) result looks like this:
PART NUMBEROPERATION ORDER
M7264 112 2
M7264 114 4
M7264 116 6
M7264 120 7
M7264 121 8
M7264 325 9
M7264 216 10
M7265 112 2
M7265 114 4
M7265 116 6
M7265 120 8
M7265 121 9
i need to add sequential numbering (1,2,3,4...) to each line of the qryOperations and use the sequential numbering as the column header.How do I add sequential numbers to the query, that restart after each change in part number? I can do this in a report easy enough, but not a query.This is the SQL of the query I need to have the sequential numbers in...
SELECT tblparts.[PART NUMBER], tblOperationCodes.MachineCode, tblOperationsList.Order
FROM tblparts INNER JOIN (tblOperationsList INNER JOIN tblOperationCodes ON tblOperationsList.OperationCode = tblOperationCodes.OperationCode) ON tblparts.[PART NUMBER] = tblOperationsList.[PART#]
WHERE (((tblOperationCodes.Function)="O"))
ORDER BY tblparts.[PART NUMBER], tblOperationsList.Order;

Need a sequential number on report. Have an unbound text box and set it to list a running sum over group. The twist is that I'd like to have it start with an assigned starting number [Starting Number] and then add 1 to each subsequent record. It works for the first record but then the next record is last value + [Starting Number]. Basically it is a check run where I would list the starting number and the report would do the rest.
