Seeking Much Help With Generating A Card Number From Another Field
Jan 14, 2008
Hi guys,
I need some help here and any would be muchly apprieciated.
I am building a database for a theme park fast pass system where a customer can book themselves a place on a ride at three session times a day.
Now my problem is, that I need to generate a card number. 5555 1946 as the first 8 digits (this always stays the same) and then the last 8 digits is the customer ID number, which is in the same table. So there are 16 digits in total.
Let me give you an example:
A new customer registers and are assigned a customer ID of 1000 0001. Therefore the Card Number for that customer must be 5555 1946 1000 0001.
I have used auto number for customer ID so when a new customer signs up, there ID is 1 more that highest already in te database.
Simple question really...but how is this done?
A million marks for someone who breaks it! Hehe
Thanks

I have a small .mdb for invoicing. Till now I had to put invoice number, which had two parts, manually for the first part, for example 001 or 002 and automatically for the second part as Date part. So I had, for example 2006 or 2007. The complete number was, for example 001/2006 etc.
The problem was New Year. Now, all previous invoices from 2006 have 2007 extension and the first parts are not starting form 001 but they continue.

Hi,
I'm trying to make a database where a Date and a Service Number is entered into a form.
I have 2 buttons, one to automatically enter the Current Date and the second to automatically enter the Service Number.
The service number is incrimented by 1 each time and reset for every day.
eg.
Date Service Number
January 1, 2005 1
January 1, 2005 2
January 1, 2005 3
January 2, 2005 1
January 2, 2005 2
January 5, 2005 1
January 5, 2005 2
I already have the button that enters the Current Date. However, I am having trouble with the second button.
How can I code the button so that it searches the table for the Current Date and finds the record with the greatest service number for that date? After this is done, I want to create code that will automatically enter the next service number into the Service Number Textbox on the form.
eg. Using the Example Table Above
The date January 5, 2005 is entered into the Date Text Box and the Search Next Service Number button is pressed. The number '3' should show up in the Service Number Textbox
Sorry if its hard to understand, but thanks anyways.
I just realized that I placed this in the wrong forum, Sorry for the inconvenience.

First off, can it be done? I'm using Microsoft Access 2007, I'm wanting to generate an auto-number on the report. Basically I have an OrderTable, a PartTable, and a PackingListTable. I have a report that shows all orders ready to be shipped. But I need the shipping report to have a packing list number. I want this number to be auto-generated, and I was hoping I could do this when the report is opened. Right now the report is generated through a query of orders that are ready to be shipped. Yet I can't figure out how to put an auto-generated packing number on the report.

When I create a new record I am also generating a new Auto Number. This is so I have a sure fire way of returning the records that I want to return. I have read where it is a known issue that when using the Compact and Repair it can reset the Auto Number to a lower number and generate a duplicate Auto Number. That is the problem that I have at this time. I have tried using the Allen code but it doesn't seem to worked on linked tables. I use linked tables because I have multiple users who can access this system at any given point in time.how to have the Auto Number field select a number that is unique

I'm using the following code to generate a sequential number"
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.txtReceivedDate = Now()
'assign an EmailID when form loads
Dim CurMax As Long
Dim NewMax As Long
'poll the current EmailIDs for the largest number from current year and add 1
[Code] ....
Until recently, I didn't have any criteria on the DMax and it worked perfectly. It's now been decided that the EmailID should reset back to 1 when the calendar year changes.*
*EmailID is not my primary key - There is a separate autonumber field used as the primary key.
The table I'm using the DMax on has a field named ReceivedDate which stores a Now() when a record is created. The form I'm working in has a textbox named txtReceivedDate that is set to Now() when the form loads as can be seen in the code above.
What I'm trying to use as my criteria in the DMax is to match the Year() of ReceivedDate in tblEmails to the Year() of txtReceivedDate on the form.
For 2013, the current max (CurMax) EmailID is 21. If I set my computers date back to 2012 (where the CurMax is 3) the txtEmailID is still being populated with 22, even though txtReceivedDate shows a 2012 date.
I've tried a handful of permutations of the criteria string:
Code:
Year([ReceivedDate]) & " = " & Year(Forms!frmNewEmail!txtReceivedDate)
Year([ReceivedDate]) & "=" & Year(Forms!frmNewEmail!txtReceivedDate)
Year([ReceivedDate]) = Year(Forms!frmNewEmail!txtReceivedDate)
I've tried a few others long the way that I don't even remember, but there's probably little value in listing all the ways that don't work.
I've got a syntax issue within the criteria since it's the first time I've tried to use one and it contains a couple moving parts.
Once I get this sorted out a follow on question is about dealing with the users changing the txtReceivedDate to a different year. As of now, I have the same code (everything except "Me.txtReceivedDate = Now()") also present in txtReceivedDate_LostFocus(), but I'm not sure that's the best place for it.

I have a database with a bunch of related tables. One holds information on (let's say) types of food. A field in that table tells whether the food is HOT or COLD. Foods are grouped by MEALS in a related table - the PK of the foods table is stored as an field in the MEALS table. What people here are looking for is a report that lists all the foods in each MEAL, the temperature of the food, and whether the meal is HOT, COLD, or MIXED - foods are both HOT and COLD. I've got a report that lists all the FOODs, grouped by MEALs - it's just the overall temperature of the MEAL that I am missing right now.

Hi all,
I am new here, I am never one to ask for help, but I am desperate to get some assistance and hoping someone may be able to help me. I have just basic knowledge of MS Access, but no where near the skills needed to acheive what I am needing.
To explain, I am involved with a national memorial of all the Truck drivers who have been killed on our roads. I have a database in access, (near 1000 individuals and sadly growing) but wanting to create it into a form style. I also need to add a photograph of each deceased person and a second photograph of the plaque which they are on. Years ago I saw a form which I was impressed with, it looked so professional but never had the oportunity to investigate or disect it :)
I am hoping sks who will enjoy the challenge may be able to assist me.
more about the memorial can be seen at www.tarcuttamemorial.com
Thanks Dianne

I read about your different topics/discussions but still have issues.
The group I work for needs to track Customs entries, compile them for payment and make reports. They used to track the entries in Excel but they wish to do this in a Form = INVOICE TRACKING, be able to query and make reports. My Access knowledge is limited but I have created two tables and the above mentioned Form
The main table= Invoice Tracking (as per the group request) as 37 fields. Starting at the 8th field, data is updated by the users on a daily basis.
The source table = XLS 1127 as 7 fields and is refreshed and updated 2-3 times weekly by a live report on the Internet.
Up to now, when I need to update the main table, I run an APPEND QUERY. Once this is done, I run a FIND DUPLICATE QUERY and I delete the duplicates manually because some of the first 7 fields will get updated this time or some other time and therefore it will create duplicates Entry Nbr in the Main table. Meanwhile the other 30 fields are populated by users with the information supplied by the invoices.
Is there a macro or an expression that could be created to avoid the Query from selecting the duplicates randomly? I have a very basic knowledge of macros and VB but would it be possible to write something that would be like In record #1, IF the field 2 or 3 is empty than look at field 9 and others and if Not Null then get the data in the duplicate record #2, merge the
information from the two records??
When the Main table will grow bigger, it will be too much time consuming to delete XXX duplicates and can cause errors.
Thanks

Hello, I am working on a database of translators. Each of these translators can have multiple Source Languages, and multiple Target Languages. I understand that I must use a many-to-many relationship, but as the Language fields for both Source and Target Languages comes from one table (tblLanguages), I am having difficulty conceptualizing how I can get the table relationship to produce the desired effect; i.e. having a datasubsheet for each translator with fields for each their Source and Target languages.
My current table structure:
tblTrans
TransID
(name and contact data)
tblLINK_Language_Trans
TransID
LanguageID
tblLanguages
LanguageID
I thought that maybe if I create a separate LINK table for each Source and Target Language, I might get the desired effect, but this was futile, as only one datasubsheet was shown.
Any advice for a humble Access beginner would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Thanks!

Hello,
Does anyone know of an off the shelf application I can purchase to allow users access to my Access database over the web? I have select data I want to allow my customers access to dynamically via the web.
I am familiar with ASP however I am not at a level to develop something from the ground up.
I have access to a Windows Server, an established database and a great desire to get this done.
My vision is to have a daily upload of my back-end (for the sake of current data)to the web server for access via the ASP front end or whatever the case may be.
I am sure to all who read this you understand what I am looking for.
I will definitely entertain hiring someone to work with me on this project if need be. Best case scenario is someone has already done the work and I can just buy it...
Thanks.

The idea is that I have a table with products. It is joined to another table that has each products ID and then a series of fields that correspond to each month of this year (so 12 fields). These fields contain how many of each product sold in that month. However some products did not appear in inventory until a few months into the year, so they have zero's for those months in which they didn't exist yet.
What I need to do is find the first month that each product went on sale, and pass that field back to my main table to do calculations with.
First I tried to do with with a query, but I ran into a road block and realized that maybe a query wasn't best as I likely needed a loop. So I started writing a function at that point... but it is obviously non functional.
As an example, if I had a product like this:
Product: X
SalesID: 1111
Price: 9.99
Month 1: 0
Month 2: 0
Month 3: 1582
Month 4: 2790
Month 5: 4501
Month 6: 4210
Then the idea of this function would be to look at Month 1, see if it contained a zero. if it did, move to month 2. If it doesn't, then send whatever that value is to a new field in the database.
So in the new table, I would have:
Product: X
SalesID: 1111
Price: 9.99
Month 1: 1582
Month 2: 2790
Month 3: 4501
Month 4: 4210

Hi all,
I've read this forum for quite a while, but just now registered and this is my first post. It's full of great information and I really appreciate all I've learned!
I'm looking to contract / hire an Access Developer for a small project. Essentially, it's taking a CSV file, importing it into Access, then exporting the data within certain parameters into an Excel spreadsheet. There are a few other small details that pertain to how the data is handled in the actual db itself, but that is the overall picture of the project. It's rather small, but is above my Access knowledge level.
My most important goal is getting the DB functional, but then taking the finished product and breaking it down to learn from it.
Please PM me if you're available to assist on this project. Have a great weekend!

I am looking to create a catalog database. It is to serve as a finished product warehouse, as well as a product development tool. There are a number of fields, most of which are straight-forward.
One large problem I have is that the product descriptions are roughly 700 characters. Is there a way to have this information entered into Access and stored either in this database or elsewhere?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Last week some very altruistic folks here helped me solve a many-to-many relationships quandry, and I am hoping that there may some others out there who can help with another question.
I have a feeling this is simple, but I can't quite get my head around it, and have not been able to find it in the past forum threads, but....
I want to create a tblJobs that has information about our clients' Companies, as well as Contact. As there can be many Contacts for each Company, my current setup looks like this:
tblContacts
ContactID (Pkey)
Name
Lookup_to_qryCompanies_to_Contact(shows Contact's company)
tblComanies
CompanyID (Pkey)
Company Name
(Client info is included as embedded table based on qryCompanies_to_Contact)
qryCompanies_to_Contact
Company (from tblCompanies)
Contact (from tblContacts) (one-to-many)
In my new tblJobs, I would like to have a combo box in which I can input the company name, and then the next field will have another combo containing ONLY names of the contacts affiliated with the chosen company. (I will also eventually like to make a form that allows the same function, but am assuming that the process will be the same for updating the table trhough a form as it would be updating it directly).
Thank you for any advice!!

Date of Birth (DOB) field etc. in one program are text - how do I make another file with the same data into number fields for Date of Birth field etc? When I copy data to file that has number fields the 09252004 is changed to 9252004. Can I get reports with the correct Date of Birth in them by moving data from text file to number file?
There is data entered monthly in file and formula has been set up for January, February etc as ---quarter: Int(([month]-1)/3)+1. I would like formula for the fiscal year for April to be counted as month 1, May - month 2, June as month 3, July as month 4, August as month 5, Sept as month 6, October as month 7, Nov as month 8, Dec as month 9, Jan as month 10, Feb as month 11 and March as month 12.

I have a form where we fill in information for supply of equipment to employees.
Each item must be signed for on a printed report.
I am encountering problems trying to create enough rows in my report detail for each signature of the items supplied.
For example, on the form I will select the "equipment" - 4 hats supplied and 3 boots. On the report I want the equipment set as the group and the detail to be a number or rows which equals the number of selected items. therefore under the Hats group heading I want 4 blank rows which are made up of 3 text boxes - Print Name, Signature & Date and another group heading for boots but with 3 lines.

Is it possible to use a * (Wild Card) in a pop up box for a query?
I read the previous post about pop up boxes for quires and it worked worked great! I created one for my month field
My criteria in my search fieled is a follows:
05-May
06-June
07-July
08-August
etc...
As you can see someone would have to type a 08-August to get the results for August, can a wild card be used? Example 08* would return all of 08-August data. I tried it but it wouldn't return any data.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Scott

Hi,
I'm in a a lot of trouble. My graphics card has stopped functioning, leaving me with a perfectly good computer that I cannot use.
In order to retrieve the information from the harddisk, I got a cable between this computer and another one.
This is my plan:
When the "blind" computer is started, I will enter the cmd. From there I would like to be able to "share" one of my folders on the small network (ie the two computers). Is there a DOS command for this?
second question:
If I have VNC server installed, will I be able to see the desktop from another computer allthough I can't see it on the blind computer? Does that information go through the graphics card before it is sent over the internet, or after it has arrived in the VNC viewer computer?
Fuga.
