I do same thing each month and would like to make it easier/faster: is there a way to run many queries, one after another?
I cannot use macro, cause Run SQL is restricted to 255 characters and my queries SQL codes are longer than that.
Is there a way to run them in a row? Like run query1, wait till its finished, then run 2..3..4.
I have two tables - one with parent Records, the other with child records. The ID links the two tables .I want to add a sequence number on the child table which resets at each ID change. What would be the best way to accomplish this?
Code:
PC_ID ID Name Address
P 1 Parent1 Address1
P 2 Parent2 Address1
PC_ID ID Name Address SEQ
C 1 Child1 Address1 1
C 1 Child2 Address1 2
C 1 Child3 Address1 3
C 1 Child3 Address1 4
C 2 Child1 Address1 1
C 2 Child2 Address1 2
C 2 Child3 Address1 3
I am looking to make a table which adds a sequence number to my records.
Example data would look like this
Acc no Date
1234535 01/01/2013
1234535 05/01/2013
1234535 11/01/2013
9876543 02/01/2013
9876543 22/02/2013
9876543 01/03/2013
I want it to add a deq based on the account no then date in sequence oldest to newest.
Acc no Date Seq
1234535 01/01/2013 1
1234535 05/01/2013 2
1234535 11/01/2013 3

How to extract or calculate the number of records in a sequence - e.g. in a table/query ordered by ID and date, the number of consecutive records by date for a given ID that have a value >= 50 in a given field. Is there a way of doing this purely within a query, or would I have to resort to a VBA loop through a recordset and keep a count of the consecutive records that match that criteria?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a set of transactions with a Unique ID field and a date. I want to add a field based that gives me the sequence of events for each Unique ID in order of when it happened.
For example, if customer X has 6 transactions, the sequence field would have a number (1-6) in each record that corresponds to the order in which those transactions occurred. The first transaction would have the number 1, the second would have the number 2 and so on.
Have two tables: Assignment and StudentHeader - they are related by AssignmentGUID
Have the SQL:
SELECT StudentHeader.[Student ID], StudentHeader.GUID
FROM Assignment INNER JOIN StudentHeader ON Assignment.GUID = StudentHeader.[Assignment GUID]
WHERE (((Assignment.[Assignment Type])="Q") AND ((Assignment.[Assignment Number])=2))
GROUP BY StudentHeader.[Student ID], StudentHeader.GUID
ORDER BY StudentHeader.[Student ID], StudentHeader.GUID;
This returns:
Student IDGUID

How to sort a field of data in a table that contains the letter S that is always in a specific place in the sequence? For Example:

creating sequence number in a query using a starting number. For example i want to use the starting sequence number as 5
---SEQNUM---------COLOR-----------
-----5------------------blue--------------
-----6------------------red---------------
-----7------------------orange-----------
-----8------------------black-------------
The title probably doesn't give an idea of what I need, so here goes.
We currently have reference #'s for our bills that include the date requested in mmddyy format, the first 3 letters of the customer, the initials of the order taker and finally a sequential number to show the sumber of bills that day.
example: 120705SEAGMM02 2nd order taken by GMM for Seagate on 12/7
120705SEARLH01 1st order taken by RLH for Seagate on 12/7
I want to generate this number automatically based on the date entered and the initials given of the user. We only deal with one customer at our desk so that will always be "SEA".
I have a query that generates the first portion (date, customer, and initials):
SELECT Format([REQDATE],"mm") AS [Month], Format([REQDATE],"dd") AS [Day], Format([REQDATE],"yy") AS [Year], Format([REQDATE],"mmddyy") AS [Both], [Both] & "SEA" & [PickUpReqData]![INITIALS] AS REFNO
FROM PickUpReqData;
But I can't seem to get my head around the part of generating the number. I know I had done this in a database I created 2 jobs ago but all my files were flooded out in Katrina. (I have since relocated to Atlanta, although I'm not looking for sympathy. But I will take what I can get!)
Anything to point me in the right direction will be appreciated. I am looking to have this on a form and feed the REFNO field in the PickUpReqData table.
Thanks.

Hi!
1. If accidently a record or two in a sequence are deleted, how will you know that this has happened! What type of validation can be enforcedto prevent this?
2. How do you make your Tables, Quries, Forms, Reports, Macro tamper proof?
Please help!

I have a query that captures date values from a table based on a between function that works fine. What I would like to do is associate a sequence number fro each date value returned and either perform a make table or leave it as a select query. If I create a table I know that I aam able to add an autonumber field but the query is executed frequently and performing the addition of the autonumber field is not feesible. Any thoughts how I can generate the sequence number each time the query is executed?
Thanks
i want to know such a method that if i give a number, the database find me the next available number from the given list in the table.for example, i have a table having list of numbers like 6500, 6501, 6502 etc, I give the number 6500, the database should give me the next available number in sequence from that given list in the table.

All I need is a way to number rows with a value higher than the previous for that particular ID_NUM.
I'm trying to code for a 'duplicate record' button on a form that, as well as copying the values of all the controls of the previous record to the new record, makes a certain control (which contains a number) increment as appropriate.
There are two controls on the form which contain the start and end values of a numerical sequence (of potentially any length) e.g. the range 48-82 shows 48 in text box boxREGSEQSTART and 82 in the text box boxREGSEQEND OR the single value 99 shows 99 in text box boxREGSEQSTART and text box boxREGSEQEND is empty. In a record, the value of boxREGSEQEND would always be higher than that of boxREGSEQSTART or would be blank.
The appropriate incrementing action would be:
After clicking 'Duplicate Record' button, If there is no value in boxREGSEQEND in the record being copied, then in the new duplicated record the value of boxREGSEQSTART should be 1 greater than the value of boxREGSEQSTART in the record it has been copied from.
i.e. the record being copied is records a single item, a single value, and the next record should show the sequence moved on by one
OR
If there is a value in boxREGSEQEND in the record being copied, then in the new duplicated record the value of boxREGSTART should be 1 greater than the value of boxREGSEQEND in the record it has been copied from.
i.e. the record being copied is recording multiple items, a sequence, but the next record should still show the sequence moved on by one
I can get the duplication to work no problem, and I can get the incrementing to work fine for the first set of conditions, but can't for the life of me get it to increment when there is a range!
The logic (in my head, expressed as best I can in the macro language ) for the whole sequence of actions goes like so:
RunMenuCommandCommand SelectRecordRunMenuCommandCommand CopyRunMenuCommandRecordsGoToNewRunMenuCommandCommand SelectRecordRunMenuCommandCommand Paste
If [boxREGSEQEND]=[IsNull] Then
GoToControlControl Name boxREGSEQSTARTSetValueItem = [boxREGSEQSTART]
Expression = [boxREGSEQSTART]+1Else
GoToControlControl Name boxREGSEQSTARTSetValueItem = [boxREGSEQSTART]
Expression = [boxREGSEQEND]+1GoToControlControl Name boxREGSEQENDSetValueItem = [boxREGSEQEND]
Expression = [boxREGSEQEND]=Null
Which I would assume would tell the program to copy the current record, make a new one and paste the copy, then if there was a range recorded in the original, start the numbering of the new record one number higher than the end of that range and clear the way in the new form in case it also records a range, otherwise just increment the sequence along by one.
Hi -
Suppose I have a generic query that returns a group of records.
Is there some way to generate a field containing the number sequence of each record? E.g. if there are 10 records, generate the numbers 1 through 10?
Must be a simple way to do this, I'm just a bit dense today...
Thanks,

I have a table in a database with 7 columns. The data is sorted by Date1 in descending order.
For each pid I want to put the sequence numbers
First record has two conditions
If string 2 is null then start numbering from sequence1
If string 2 is not null then start numbering from sequence2
If string 2 = string1 then
Sequence1 = 0
Second record has two conditions
Number sequence2 with the value 2 or 3 depending on the line one
If string 2 = string1 then
Sequence1 = 0
Else
Sequence1 = next number
Same condition for the rest of records
I have data in a table that looks like the first table and I would like to write a query to update the sequence so it looks like the second table.

Occasionally a user of mine needs to reset a sequence number in a table.
A few months ago I made him a simple app that has two text entry boxes and a button. The first text entry box uses a dlookup:
Code:
=DLookUp("sSessionNumID","qryGetAPIsessionLastValue")
...the other textbox ties to an update query, which updates the sequence number with the new value supplied by the user. Simple.
Then about a week ago it stopped running the dlookup part - nothing shows in the text box that is to show the current sequence num.
Oddly, if I enter a value in the update text box and press the button to update the sequence number (which still works) -- the previously dormant dlookup textbox now shows the new value - so it works ...it just doesn't want to work on this one workstation unless the update query is run first.
What can this be? The update button merely calls a DoCmd.RunSQL with both an insert (storing old value locally in ms access table) and an update (updating the sql server table's seq number using an ODBC DSN and sql server driver).
It's almost like the dlookup falls asleep now and won't wake up until the update is run...
I have a Primary Key field named Member ID(Number format) in a Table named Mail List. The field is populated with existing ID numbers and my need is to use my Member Entry Form to increment by 1 from the last entry.
I have gleaned from other references that this can easily be achieved by the following entry in the Default Value of the property sheet for the relevant field;
=DMax("Member ID","Mail List")+1
The Form saves without error but when I attempt to add a new record in the entry form, the ID Number reads "#Error".
At present I am running Revit Architecture with DBLink to access to edit fields for shelving etc.
What i am doing is fitting out warehouses with 600+ shelving units and they are all numbered.
These numbers are tagged in the drawing.
What I am hoping to do is export the data to access (completed) then amend any changes within access.
Normally, we would put say 600 shelving units on a drawing all tagged 1-600. But then the client may want to delete shelving unit 321.
Leaving the drawing with all shelving units tagged 1-320,322-600.
How would i go about it so access renumbers all data after the deleted field (ie number 321)?
I do not want to use AutoNumber to generate my Stock Control Number. I need to somehow automatically generate a number so that when I enter data and then make an error it does not mess up the numbering system like AutoNumber does.
I am a novice who is will to try to do what it takes to get this going properly. I cant find anything online relating to Access 2010.
I am trying to get the max of an integer field if the ProjectNumber field is equal to the ProjectNumber field in the current record. I have used code similar to the one below before but it was on a date field, then add one.
Me.RevisionNumber = Nz(DMax("[RevisionNumber]", "dbo_ProposalLog", "[ProjectNumber] =" & Me.ProjectNumber), 0) + 1
The ProjectNumber field is a text field.
791335.12pack. This is the object that is in one of my access fields. I need to extract the 12 and place that in another column called qty.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
Im trying to combine 2 fields below into one column.
ID - 001 (This is formatted in table using 000)
Sometext - "BLAH"
In the query I have written this ...
Newfield: [Sometext] & [ID]
But when I preview the query the data displays as "BLAH1" and not "BLAH001"
what should i do to correct this formatting issue?
many thanks!
I was about to post a question yesterday, but I found a solution myself and would like to share it. When a new column is computed in the query, there is no way to prescribe the data format of the computed column (=field =variable). It is done automatically by access and it can go wrong. I tried to use Format() function but it changes the look but does not change the type of the column. So what you have to do is to wrap your expression in a data convertion function. I used CDBL() as a wrapper for my expression.
I consider it as a bug of Access because in my situation I had a swich() function that took only numeric fields and produced only number but the data type of the column was set to TEXT. I noticed it in the pivot table later on , when I could only use Count() as aggregate function.
Good luck! and take care of data conversion by yourself, do not let it go automatically!
P.S. If anyone knows a better way to prevent such conversion errors, be my guest!!!

I have three tables the tblStudentInfo (holding the persons main data), the tblEducation (holding the students education records) and the refInstution (holding all university's and college information).I am pulling PersonID, name, etc from the tblStudentInfo, education records from tblEducation.
the problem is that in the query it displays the institution ID instead of the Institution name. How do i get the query/rpt to show the name instead of the ID?
On the form Institution this is pulled from the refInstitution table and the ID InstName etc is a combo box 0; 1.0; etc so the display on the form shows the name of the university instead of the ID number.
