In my form i have SNo field. This field should get range of value is from 999999 to 9999999(that is only 7 digits). How i can write code in Acces. I am new to MS Access. If i enter wrong number(ie lessthan or greater than 7 digit) , other field should not accept the value or cursor shouldnot move from text box.
i created a small project in Access how i can make username and password.
The problem that I have is that when I add a new field to my form at runtime I get the following error Runtime Error '2424' The expression you entered has a field, control, or property that Microsoft Access can't find.
This error appears when I try to update any field. I posted this before and was informed that access has a field counter limit up to 750 on a form, this includes fields which were deleted or hidden. I dont deliberately add and remove fields, but this is the main form in my database so it is not unbelieveable that this may be at the limit and this is why the error is occurring. Does anyone know how to reset this?, or what I should do to get around this.
I have a table which will be completely emptied and refilled. The table has a field autonumbered it is also the primary key. When the table is refilled I want this field to start from 1. How can I do that. Yes some people will say this subject has been discussed search for it. But here the issue is somewhat different we have an existing field and I do not want to compact the database each time the procedure runs.
I have a combo box, 'Type' that has two values - "Instrument" and "Equipment".Another combo box control, 'Criticality', has an Enabled = False value set OnCurrent.
When the user selects "Equipment", Criticality goes Enabled = True and when OnUpdate to "Instrument", Criticality goes Enabled = False.The Criticality field correctly displays and switches off if someone selects Instrument.
However, if someone puts a value in whilst Type is set to "Equipment" and then Type is reset to "Instrument" and in the meantime the user has selected a value for Criticality, the value stays 'stuck' in the Criticality box, despite the field being disabled. It is a bound field.How do I purge any contents stored in Criticality when the field is disabled? I presume it's something like an SQL statement to set the value to null, but I'm not quite certain.
I have a SQL Server 2005 backend table with a varchar(1) field which allows nulls. The field is populated from a combo box in Access 2012. The field can be set to 1,2 or 3 via the combo box or left blank in which case its value will be null. Sometimes I need to reset this field to null. How can I do this via a combo box? I know I could just set this to an empty string but this would mean re-writing a load of queries which a looking for a number or null.
Something like 1;"First";2;"Second";3;"Third";Null;"Blank"
I have a question concerning combo boxes and the best way to implement them. When creating a field in a table I can choose to set the lookup for the field as a combo box and it will allow the use of a combo box in the table. I could also leave it alone and use a form with a combo box on it. My question is which method is better, or are there particular situations where one is preferred?
I can only think that using a combo straight from a table is good if you plan editing data via the table. If data entry is only to take place through the form then I see no need to set the combo box value on the table.
Auto number will not work for what I want to do. I am creating a simple database that will assign the user with the next incremental number in a field. The intent of the database is for the user to enter three text fields and then obtain the number. I believe that Dmax would work but do not know how to make populate the table.
My access database is used to process vehicle trips. Each shift, a vehicle is assigned a docket number (paper based), and on this docket the driver fills out each trip he/she makes. In a shift (thus on a docket) there may be 5 - 15 trips. I want to create an incrementing number for each trip in a new field - can be created as they are processed or after the fact by looping through the resultant data - whatever is easier.
So in simple terms, return all trips for each docket number then number each trip.
Using Access 2010: I have a query with four fields: ORG_NAME, PERS_NAME_LAST, CountOfORG_NAME, and BdMbrCount. There are a couple hundred companies in the database with 1-7 people associated with each company. I need to number each person so that they have a number, 1-7 in the MemberCount field of my query.
I have my query connected to VBA code.
I have experimented with code that I have found on the forum, just to see if I could get something to work and I am getting “Undefined function ‘BdMbrCount’ in expression. I am trying to pass [ORG_NAME],[PERS_NAME_LAST] to my function and assign the value of BdMbrCount to a new field in my query, BdMbrCount.
Code: Function BdMbrNumber() Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Set qdf = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("YourBdMbrsRRecognizedQry") 'Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [ORG_Name],[PERS_NAME_LAST],[CountofORG_NAME], [BdMbrCount] FROM YourBdMbrsRRecognizedQry") Dim ORG_NAME As String
Created a new Query (called qry_Temp) from and existing Query (qry_Test that has fields Field1 - Field5) using QueryDef , and inserted a new Field (FieldX) into it (see example below) using the .Parameters property, then opened a Recordset based on the new Query in order to attempt to enter data values into the new Field (FieldX) for each record in the query - but cannot assign any data values to this new Field (but can to the existing fields) in the new Query?
Dim DB As Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim qdfNew As QueryDef Dim strSQL1 As String Dim strSQL2 As String Dim Value1 As Integer
I need to assign those appraisers to an order based on what county they cover. My main table (orders) is simple. Just an order number, order date, county and appraiser.I have a form with entry fields for all these except appraiser. I envision a "assign" button that will then pick the next appraiser in the county that was chosen. It's just a "round robin" type of thing, so the first order placed for Monroe would be assigned to ABC. The next order would be for Cecil and would assign 123. Next order for Monroe would assign DEF. I know there are many way this can be done but I've been looking at this for hours and I'm drawing a blank on the easiest way to do it.
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
In my DataBase I want to reset the the records back to the first record. The only way to reset is to exit the form tehn go back in. Is there another way?
I have a autonumber function in my form, but i have deleted all the records and want to start again but the autonumber has not reset back to 1, is there a way to do this??
Ive written a program in .net and am currently using an access db as the backend. In the db I had 200 test records which i deleted to get the db ready for deployment. When i add a new record now the primary key on my "booking" table carries on from the old test number so 201.
Can I resest this so it starts back at #1 as once the db gets updated, the program i wrote then takes the data and updates the accounting system and uses the primary key as the invoice number and so I would like to start at 1.
I have an inventory split database. It has been working fine. I noticed when I try to enter a new record, it will not let me as it would create a duplicate record. It has actually started to use the autonumbers in the pk again reusing numbers that already exist starting at 1 and moving up sequentially.
How can I make it continue from where it left off or at least not duplicate any of the existing records. This database has many tables with a bunch of relationships. Thanks! Bill Hesson :confused:
just a small question. I have a database that assigns a unique 'audit id' to each entry. the ID is in the form of : DEA-[client prefix]-autonumber. Everything is working fine except the autonumber part. I have gaps in the numeric sequence. Ex: DEA-AAA-1, DEA-AAA-2, DEA-AAA-8, DEA-ABC17, etc.
is there a way that I can reset this autonumber so that it may look like this: Ex: DEA-AAA-1, DEA-AAA-2, DEA-AAA-3, DEA-ABC4, etc.
Insured patients have deductables and copays that usually reset on January 1st.
To be clear, a deductable of $500 is reduced each time the patient pays, but jumps back to $500 at the beginning of the next year.
The table containing patient records has a deductable field, where the form gets the initial value. I'll be making a running calculation of how much remains after each visit, but that calculation has to start over again each year.
Can anyone suggest code to do this or point me at something similar?
having tested my forms etc and now they all work! i would like to reset all the id numders back to 0 to start from scratch there are lots of links in the relationships how do i do that
