I have a primary key field called "Issue Number", with the properties set to auto-number.
After testing, I need to set it back to zero before going live.
I deleted all the records and did a compact and repair, but the first number that comes up is the one after the last one used during testing.
Help????
Thanks
I have a number of tables (I know someone is going to say you don't need a primary field for these tables but I want to use one) that are basically lookup tables for combo boxes. Generally I use an autonumber to identify the ID of each record. There are occasions when all the records need to be changed (i.e. delete all old records) - does anyone know how I can programmatically (or otherwise) reset the autonumber from the last used back to "1" if all records from the table are deleted.

In month-end posting - I basically delete all the records from my transaction file. And in doing so - it seems to be resetting the auto number index - which is causing me major problems.
The resetting of the index after deleting all the records is normal.
I am working in VB 2010 - using a 2003 MS Access database.
I have created quite a substantial and effective database for a small gliding club with all the major data tables being linked. I need to be able to re-index tables periodically so that running totals, which are needed to calculate statement balances, works correctly - all well and good. The only problem is that the process of re-indexing requires the data in the main table to be stored temporarily and the original data deleted. When the temporary data is appended to the main table the auto-numbering just keeps clocking up.how to reset the auto-numbering in a local table.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm redeveloping a DB for a new project, so have removed all previous records from relevant tables (to start a-fresh)
One snub, the ID fields in the tables are auto increasing from where they left off, rather than from 1
If anyone knows how to reset the auto counters, it would be very much appreciated
Thanks in advance
I'm trying to get an invoice number field to auto generate the next number, keeping the format as "00000"...this is what I have, which gets the next number but drops the leading 0
Code:
Private Sub Customer_AfterUpdate()
If Len(Me.[InvoiceNumber] & vbNullString) = 0 Then
Me.[InvoiceNumber] = (DMax("[InvoiceNumber]", "[tblInvoiceNumber]") + 1)
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
End If
End Sub
invoice numbers are 04024, 04025 etc...how I keep the formatiing?
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...
Here is my issue. In a table with an Auto Number index some records have been deleted. I have been able to recreate them along with their original auto number. The problem is that I do not know how to append these records forcing the original auto number. I have tried changing the auto number field to a number field in the table, this works except I cannot change it back to auto number.
I am sure I’m not the first with this question or issue. I did search through a couple hundred entries about auto number before I posted this question.

Hi guys,
Just a quick one ( I think )
I have a table which already has an autonumber ( the id field )
But I need to create another field also with an auto generated number which will generate reference number which i need to start at a pre-defined number.
The problem is, im not allowed to use 2 auto number fields, and access is prompting me to use a number field instead.
The question is, is there a way around this ?
Can i create another field which works the same way as an auto number and increments the number by 1 for each new record entered ?
Many thanks in advance for any help.

I have an order table [OrderMain], which contains [OrderNumber] "Auto Number" along with various customer related only info
Then i have a order line table [OrderLines] which contains the items ordered. Which looks like
OrderNumber
OrderLine
PartNumber
These tables are in a form, relationship of [OrderNumber]
This structure enables me to order as many parts as i'd like against 1 order number.
What i would like to do is set something similar to a auto number in the OrderLines table. This would be in the Lines Field.
The problem is, AutoNumber can't be used in the [Lines] field as each new order line # would continue from the last #.
The result would look like:
The big issue is wanting to create the following records in a subform every time a new record in the subform is added. I can populate the Ticket field and know how to cast fields as strings to append them (so I can get the Cylinder field). The output is used to populate a table called Cylinders. My question is:
How do I create a field of letters (or numbers) corresponding to the row in the subform without continuing from the previous letter (or number) in the Cylinders table?
Ticket
Letter
Cylinder
1589
A
1589A
1589
B
1589B
1600
C
1600C
1600
D
1600D

Hi, basically what i want to do is append a record to a table using vba. I would like to take two values from my form (productID, supplierID) and insert them into a table (supplierProductsTBL) under the same headings. I've constructed an sql statement but am getting the following error:
runtime error '3346'
number of query values and destination fields are not the same'
I think this happens because the table also contains an autonumber field (supplierProductID) and i'm not referencing this in my sql statement (below):
mySQL = "INSERT INTO SupplierProductsTBL ( SupplierID, ProductID ) VALUES ('" & SupplierID & "'), ('" & ProductID & "')"
i wuld just get rid of the autonumber field but i need this.
Any help on this would be appreciated, cheers mark.
I don't know why is it so complicated to add an auto number field in a query. I would like to add a increment number (auto number) on each line and then an auto number on each product.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Adding a second auto number field to current table and auto numbering current entries?
I need to combine some records from the same order number that currently have detailed names. I'm trying to simplify them, but I can't because it creates duplicate records.
I need some kind of function (I been told) that generates 3 different alphanumeric autonumbers in the same field when adding a new record, starting such field from A-1, B-1 and C-1 to infinite.Because the record gets inserted in the table with an append query and not manually through a form, I believe the function should be placed in the Default Value setting of the field.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAt 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 have a table (tblContact) with an auto number key field that is numbered sequentially (1-8) there are no deletions, each new record is appended.I wrote a simple FindFirst line to locate a record that is the first record in the table. The FindFirst failed to find the record.So, I wrote a Do Until Loop that cycles through each record looking for the record that I want to find (the first record with key field 1).
Code:
rstContact.MoveFirst
Debug.Print "ContactID: " & rstContact.Fields("ContactID")
Debug.Print "CEmployerID: " & rstContact.Fields("CEmployerID") & vbCrLf
Do Until rstContact.EOF
Debug.Print "ContactID: " & rstContact.Fields("ContactID")
Debug.Print "CEmployerID: " & rstContact.Fields("CEmployerID") & vbCrLf
This works to find the first record... eventually, because it does not begin its search at the first record. The results in the immediate window are below.
Code:
ContactID: 4
CEmployerID: 2
ContactID: 4
CEmployerID: 2
ContactID: 5
CEmployerID: 4
[code]...
I believe the field CEmployerID is unrelated to the issue. I am also attaching screen shots of the table "tblContact" and code with immediate window. I have tried indexing and not indexing the CEmployerID field in the Contact table to no avail. Even though the Do Until Loop eventually finds my record,
I have
Table called "Products"
Field 1= "Product ID" which is a text field (PK) but numbers are used (ie 1 -20)
Field 2= Products -showing our list of 20 products
When I enter a new product, currently I have to look in the table to find the last ID used then use the next one available. I have created a form to be used for data entry to enter new products
What I am trying to do is :- 1, have the form open at data entry level but still able to scroll and see all records and 2, Have the form auto generate the next number available. For example, I have 20 products entered so when the form opens to enter a new product, the ID is automatically at number 21.
I wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.
