Refreshing The AutoNumber Field.

Jul 9, 2006

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.

Controlling Autonumber Field - Start Autonumber From 1 Everyday (Composite Key)

Nov 21, 2013

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.

Date Refreshing AfterUpdate Of Different Field

Aug 23, 2005

Hi all.

Benn looking through other posts and have found some things which look quite similar but nothing which answers the question simply enough for my standard!

Basically I have a form with 5 fields...Number, Name, Location, Date and Owner.
All fields are locked apart from Location and Date.
I have a combo box which lists the field "Number" and then displays the record's data. The aim of the form is to be able to update the Location field easily.
A user entering the form would use the combo box to select say number "3243". This would bring up record number 3243. The date displayed would be the last updated date. Currently 23/08/05. I am trying desperately to get the Date to refresh to the current date as soon as someone changes the "Location" field. I have tried putting in the AfterUpdate part of Location...Me.Date.Requery.

I feel that I may be well off track but that the answer I require is not too difficult. Please could someone advise?!?!

TIA.

--Update--
Think I've sorted it now everyone!!
My code looks like this, seems to do the trick.

Private Sub Combo15_AfterUpdate()
Me.Date = Format(Now(), "dd/mm/yy")
End Sub

I guess I should learn to try my hardest before posting here!! :)

Forms :: Field On Form Not Refreshing Until Tab Is Switched

Feb 12, 2014

I've got a form built on a tab control. The form is a sales order form with multiple tabs. One of the tabs is used to enter shipping information and cost. The problem I'm having is:

A field I have added to this tab which is a stored total of the sales order total plus the shipping charge is not showing up after I enter the shipping charge until I switch tabs and return back to the shipping tab.

It's been a while since I've dealt with these refreshing problems. Which event is happening when a tab control is switched so I can call it to trigger my field total?

Btw, the shipping information on that tab is a subform.

Help Please, AutoNumber Field

Sep 7, 2005

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.

Copying A Autonumber Into Another Field

Apr 10, 2005

Hello

I am having a problem with my frmAddCustomer. I need it so when a new record is entered into tblCustomer (via the form) the autonumber made in CustomerID will be copied and entered into tblDelivery.CutomerID. Thus making a new record in tblDelivery. The form uses a query will all tblCustomer fields and tblDelivery's CustomerID.

How do i go about making it so when a new record from tblCustomers, the autonumber generated is automatically entered into CustomerID of tblDelivery (leaving other fields in tblDelivery empty ready to be edited at a later date)(also how do i make it so when I open up frmAddCustomer it goes straight to a blank record instead of viewing already entered customers)

Thanks

Relationship Using An Autonumber Field

Apr 3, 2006

What am I doing wrong that I cannot get this to work?

I have a table with Patient Details - the Primary key being called PatientID and this is an Autonumber.

I then have a table called Episode Details. I want them to be linked via the PatientID. When I set up the forms however, it won't work.(Relationship PatientID - PatientID one to many)

I think it is something to do with the Autonumber but can't work out what...

Field: AutoNumber, Fractional, Incrementing

Aug 25, 2005

I have a table <Table1> with field <Cust_ID> with datatype <Autonumber, LongInteger,Increment>. It means that as new record is entered each Cust_ID is auto-generated with incrementing number (that is not fraction). Now, I want to create a field that will generate incrementing fractional AutoNumber as I go on adding new record. (e.g. 1st record: Cust_ID = 1.00000001, 2nd record: Cust_ID: 1.00000002, 3rd record Cust_ID: 1.00000003)

Any help is appreciated. Thanx in advance.

Lookup Field / Autonumber Woes

Jun 21, 2006

So, basically my database has quite a number of lookup fields in tables as there is much repeated data, each one references to a seperate table with an autonumber field (ID) and a text field (Value)

Currently I have column one (ID) as the bound column in such cases, as this is what the guy who started me on access said to do, and it's fine until I try and export any query with such a field to Excel.

I have found, through experimentation, that setting the 2nd column (Value) as the bound column allows me to export the values rather than numbers, but I don't know if this is a sensible thing to do? (ie, I don't know what other unexpected effects this might have)

Any guidance here would be very welcome, thanks,
Bogzla

Copy Autonumber To Another Field In Same Table

Jul 31, 2006

I need to make changes to a table already containing data. Currently the autonumber field is simply there as a primary key, but I now wish to use it for another number field (Accession No) which was previously completed manually.

As this doesn't seem possible or practical (as I need the flexibility to overwrite the number sometimes), I just want the autonumber to also appear in the Accesion No field when a new record is added (but be manually overwriteable).

I've had a play with default values and lookups, but with no success, and haven't found anything on the forum. Where am I going wrong, or is this just not possible?

Thanks for your help.
Alison.

Adding An Autonumber Field Automatically

Apr 27, 2007

Hi,

Can somebody help...
I'm trying to put via an automatic way a field to a table that autonumbers. When I use a select-query: ALTER TABLE tablename ADD COLUMN Id Autonumber, Access doesn't recognizes the type "Autonumber". Even in VBA when I use the .createfield method, I can't set the datatype "Autonumber". I'm pretty sure it must be possible (as access can store anyway the indexes.. actually, I want those indexes as numbers in a separate field).

Thanks a million for any help!!!

Copying Primary Key Autonumber To Another Field

May 9, 2007

Hi,

The database I've inherited has a primary key autonumber set up which is randomly generating numbers. It also has another field which has yet to be used, of a clients reference number.

I thought it would make sense to use the reference number field as the primary key, as it seems redundant otherwise and it would give us another field to perform searches on (if we record a clients reference number on their paper file, then finding them on the database would be much quicker).

Because of the relationships in the database, I didn't want to remove the existing primary key as I'm afraid it would mess up the whole thing. I was wondering if there is a way of having the autonumber which is generated in the primary key to be automatically copied to the clients reference number field? This would leave the primary key intact but give us this extra level of information to search on.

Thanks.

Forcing Autonumber Field - Not Working...

Feb 21, 2005

On my form, there is a button that will auto-populate the subform.

If this button is clicked before the autonumber ID is established the code crashes. I have tried saving the record using...

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord

...but this does not save the record. After executing this command I can even go into the table where this record is supposed to have been saved and it is not there.

There must be something I'm missing here. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and have a question:
I want to create a table with an Autonumber field using a SQL statement,
in Microsoft Access Database, something like this:
Cnn.execute "CREATE TABLE newtable (id Long, Name Char(100)) "
is there something to put in place of "long" to make the field autonumber?
I tried the word "autonumber", but did not work.


Many Thanx.
