Hi,
I have the need to restart the autonumber field for each record back to 1 so I can see how many times a customer has been contacted. I have a table which contains the customers details, and another table to capture the contact history (currently empty until the customer is contacted and it is populated). The form I am using contains a subform (the contact history) which is where I need the autonumber to restart from 1 for each customer. Basically I only want 3 records/contacts for each customer on the main form and I want the subform to show what contact number I am up to (either 1, 2, or 3).
I hope this makes sense!
Here what I want to do. I want to use the autonumber facility which will restart by itself yearly in the following way. 1/2004 2/2004 3/2004 4/2004 . . 1/2005 2/2005 3/2005 4/2005
hi, after debug some functions in a form, my table has 15 records, after I deleted them my autonumeric field doesn´t start in 1, how can I restart to number 1?
I found an old post by sbaxter that appears to give me what I need. The problem is that there must be something I am not understanding.
Right now I am getting an "invalid use of null" warning, even though I know that there are values out there.
Everything is on SQL server and I am using an adp file.
The goal is to take the year from the "date received field." and check the table for all records that match. Then get the maximum "Claim_Number_Increment" value from the table. My new increment value will become one higher than that. (I haven't gotten to the point of handling the reset to one when there are no values year - one thing at a time.)
Here's my code, adapted from sbaxter's example:
Code:Dim dtCurrentYear As DateDim s As StringDim intIncrement As IntegerDim db As New ADODB.ConnectionDim rs As New ADODB.RecordsetSet db = CurrentProject.ConnectiondtCurrentYear = Year(Me.txtDateReceived) s = "SELECT MAX(Claim_Number_Increment_I) As 'Increment' FROM dbo.CSF_Claims_T " _ & "WHERE Year(Date_Received_DT) = " & dtCurrentYear Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset rs.Open s, db, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic intIncrement = rs.Fields("Increment") Set rs = Nothing Me.txtIncrement = intIncrement + 1
Somehow, it is telling me that I have no values - in reality, I should be getting a 4.
I was searching for a solution to this problem and found a thread called "Changing page numbers?" from 2012 but it is not clear : [URL] .....
I have two issues with my report. The first is the page number. The print control on the correlating form allows the user to print a range of reports based on the TransmittalID number. TransmittalID #1 is a 2 page report and #2 is a single page report but when I choose print from ID 1 to 2 the page numbering says page x of 3 instead of page 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 for ID #1 and page 1 of 1 for ID #2. Following along the thread above I managed to reset the page numbers to restart at 1 for each page but that is as far as I got. I'm not sure where to enter the code that was provided.
My second problem is that the report footer contains a signature line; however, printing a range is resulting in this only showing on page 3. How do I set this that for each new ID# start a new report. I've tried force new page, inserting page breaks but no luck.
I have a table which will contain project information, and want the ID field, which auto assigns a unique number to each record, to be formatted like this P12-001, where 12 = the last two digits of the year the record was created. I know that if I type into the format field "P"00"-"000 i get the ID number in the format I want, but cannot figure how to get the first two zeros, to be the date format.
Further, I would like the ID numbers to restart from 1 each year, so this year this first project, P12-001 and may run through to P12-063, then the first project I enter next year to start P13-001.
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,
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.
I have a question. I would like to be able to have an autonumber in the main form be applied to text boxes on the subform. So If I enter a name in the main form, an autonumber is generated, then that number is automatically entered into the boxes in my subform. My subform is a datasheet view with many records. I want all the records to have the autonumber generated in the main form. Is there a way to do this. Currently I have the boxes in the subform retrieve the autonumber by setting it equal to the autonumber text box on the main form. I would think that there would be an easier way to accomplish this seemingly simple task.
hello, I am using SQL INSERT INTO where I insert values from my form Me!value1 etc I have an autonumber in the table where I am using INSERT INTO, and when I exclude the autonumber it says that the number of columns does not match. I tried assigning a number manually in SQL and it works fine, but I can't use autonumber anymore. Is there a way to use autonumber and still do INSERT INTO or is there a way I can find the highest number and put the next highest in there through VBA?
How do I assign an autonumber to a table after the table is created. I know it ask after you create a table, but I answered no. Now I want it to assign each record an autonumber?
Is there any way you could renumber the autonumber, I have deleted some records in my table and the numbering orders have a gap and I would like the numbers to rearange automatically as the record or records are deleted.
I have a problem which I couldn't solve. I have two tables. There're relationships is one to many (1:N). The first one is Order and the other one is OrderItems. Order(order_ID,...) and OrderItems(order_ID, lineitem,...). The compound key of the relation OrderItems is order_ID and lineitem). What I exactly want? I want for every new Order_ID to have restarting count of lineitem.
I have a fairly small database I recently built that includes a particular table in which I meant for the primary key to be an Autonumber field. Apparently I forgot to set it this way and it currently sits as just a Number field. There are nine tables in this database with a couple hundred records in the main tables.
Is it possible to change this field to an Autonumber at this point? I have attempted to change it and it wants me to remove all the relationships. It also seems to be necessary to copy all the records out before reseting and then copy them all back in or it will not let me proceed.
Will doing it this way work? Is there a better way to do it? Please advise. Thanks.
Good Morning, Is it possible to have an autonumber field start at a given number, say 9999999 and count backwards?
I have a program that is generating badge ID numbers but I have a bunch that already exist and going backwards seems like the easiest way to mesh the 2.
Id like to know if there is a way to create an autonumber field via a create table query. ive been searching a lot but without any success. any help would be appreciated.
The record I was using as a key changed from an incremental to a random number. When I try to change it it won't allow me. I created a new project and imported the tables from the old one but all the attributes followed. Short of starting from scratch, what can I do to change back to incremental autonumbering.
I am creating a database for my company to register projects. And each project needs to have a unique Project ID number, which (due to the conformity of another software tool) must be 4 characters long. The first character is a specific letter based on the group the project is created by, followed by a 3 digit number. So, for example, one of the group code letters is C, so the first "C Project" would have the ID 'C001'.
I want my database to assign these automatically after selecting the group.
