Table With Autonumber And Need Date Code
Mar 15, 2007
I have a table named tblProjectNumber that has a autonumber field. In design view under the format property I have "NC07-"00000, this returns the a new project number with the text in front of it. What I would really want is for the text the change dynamically with the year. So an example would be NC07-00000 for project numbers created this year but I will manually have to change it for next year and the all of the previous project numbers will change accordingly. I have tried "DateSerial(Year(Date())-"00000 , Date("yy") and I can't get it tto work.Any help would be great.

I'm making a new database and I want to assign Item Codes to my inventory. For example:
ItemCode (Primary Key) | Item | ItemDescription
I want to generate an automated item code containing the first letter of the Item (as prefix) followed by numbers. Example:
ItemCode: P001
Item: Paper
ItemDesciption: Ordinary white paper

In trying to respond to another thread, I have run into something that is confounding me (or maybe I'm just getting dense).
We have a subform. One field has an event on DblClick to launch a search form. When the user identifies the target, he/she clicks a button on the subform. This pushes the appropriate value into a field on the original subform using VBA code and closes the search form. This all works fine.
The behaviour that is driving me bugging is when the user clicks on a new record (i.e. new line) on the subform, we would like to automatically generate the next record (E.g. when you type in a field of a record with autonumber in datasheet mode, Access automatically generates the next record). Currently this doesn't happen - Access generates the PK for the record being modified, but doesn't generate the view of the next record.
What really confuses me is that I have created similar looking example in which this works just fine. I can't figure out which of the differences between the two samples is causing this behaving.
Also, typing information into the field on the subform does cause the next record to be generated. It is just doing this via code that works in one case but not another.
I have narrowed it down to the actual subform. Even as a standalone form the form exhibits the same behaviour.
For reference, the original thread is

Any suggestions?

I'm putting together a database application for a small business, and I've been asked to have the key field display as the year, month, and then an incrementing number. It would look basically like this:
2007030001
2007030002
...
2007039999
Is there an reasonable way to do this?
(I thought about concatenating an autonumber to the end of a date, but the autonumbers wouldn't reset at the beginning of the month. The first order in April HAS to be displayed as 2007040001.)
I appreciate any help anyone can give!

I have a textbox on my form that is for "week of", always a Monday. There is vba to populate the appropriate Monday when the user selects something other than Monday via the date picker. This code is in the on change event. However, this is not friendly to a user entering a date in this field. I did try after update event, but that requires user to leave the "week of" field. This is not acceptable in this instance, there are other form fields that change as a result of this "week of" value.I also tried evaluating the length of the text or else exiting the code. However, I was expecting the date being returned from the date picker to always be 10 positions, but for March 3rd, it would return 3/3/2015...which is only 8 positions.

Hello buddies :D, do you have any idea how to make this work?
To select data that falls within this criteria of date range between cboDate and cboDate2 (fields on my form). The date in [tblJobDetails]![timeIn] come in this format "08/17/06 10:24 AM", but the cboDate/cboDate2 (takes in date only e.g 08/17/06) what i am after is to evaluate specific hard coded time in addition to the date entered, i.e. even tho, i haven't entered time on the cboDate/cboDate2, I want specific time hard coded where e.g If i select a date range of 08/17/06 and 08/18/06 on my cboDate and cboDate2 it should really be evaluating: 08/17/06 8:00 AM to 08/18/06 8:00 AM.
This is the criteria i curentlly have on my query in design view tha works perfect in selecting date only.
([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Is Null) And ([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Is Null)
How can I incorporate 8:00am to 8:00am into my cboDate and cboDate2. What can i do to make this happen? Your kindness will be greatly appreciated http://www.naijaryders.com/forums/images/smilies/thankyou.gif

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.

I have a table that stores orders in. There is a form to input data into this table, that I choose the products from a products table (using a subform) for the order. Once I submit the form, it submits several rows according to how many products I chose (a row for each product and the order) to the orders table.
The orders table has a autonumber primary key ID, so each of these rows has a different ID number.
I also want a column to store an order number (field: OrderNo) that is the same for each row (each product) for this order in question and not be different, allowing me to do a query for that order number and see all the products under it.
So I need the form to lookup the last highest order number from the OrderNo field, add +1 then when I add a product, it gives the SAME number to each one.
I hope this makes sense and I hope you can explain to how I do this? :)
Thanks,
Nick.

How do I add a new column to an existing table, and fill it with number (starting at 1) so I can use that column as the PK? Step-by-step instructions would be great, I'm having a lot of trouble with this!

I have a form, its based on a query. That query contains an Autonumber(intID) from a Table(customers). I also have another table(dealers), that uses the ID number as well. Next to the dealer info, I can click the "+" and it'll show all customers pertaining to that dealer.
I've seen some that have had different ID numbers. In the form, one has the ID of 222...while in the Dealer Table it has the ID of 227.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Also...I have a subform where you can add a dealer to this Dealer Table if it does not exist in the combo box. Here's the code:
If MsgBox("Add New Dealer Number?", vbYesNo, "Warning") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "DealerContact", acNormal, , , acFormAdd, acDialog, NewData
Response = acDataErrAdded
End If
Thanks for the help.

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.

Hi :)
I have solved a m:n relationship by adding a junction table. The composite primary key in the junction table is made up of primary keys from the other two tables, and both of theses primary keys are set to autonumber.
My question is this: Is it correct to set both parts f the composite key in he junction table to number rather than autonumber?
I was thinking that since autonumber should be set only once, the junction table should just take on what ever value there is in the primary keys of the other two tables.
Kind Regards
Marie

Hi, I just a fresh user for the Microsoft Access. I have some question on the forms. I created a form and there is a field name Membership Id. In this field I created using AutoNumber format. I was requested this membership number needed to add also some Area Code and BranchCode infront of it. How could I add this into this membershipID so I could have this few info combine and shown in my form(textlabel) ? :p :p

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.
Hadi.

I have a table where one field needs to be an autonumber, however, that autonumber needs to be calculated. This field is not based on any other information in the database, but there's a very complicated mathematical process behind it, which I'm figuring out...I just need to know once I get that code complete, how do I tie it into the table?

I have a table that has a primary key that does an autonumber in increments. Then I made some queries that will append records by date and then also another query that will delete what was appended. Then I created a reverse sequence of this process in case I change my mind and would like to put back the records I archived, however, when I do this, the primary key is now thrown off and will still revert to the last primary key that was appended before the archive ever took place. In other words it still thinks that the records I appended before I did the reverse, are still there. So now it will not let me save the record because it is a duplicate.
Is there a way to set the autonumber for the primary key to where I want it to begin?

I have the field called subject_id which is autonumber in the form of 10001,10002,... And I want the field with the same format to appear in another table. But appending it leads to different numbering, i.e. the filed becomes 1, 2, ... instead of 10001, 10002 as I've formatted it in its original table. How could I append/copy such a field?

Hi, I'm trying to import a text file (just for a test at the moment) with the fields seperated by |'s.
The table I'm trying to import to has the fields -
ID, First Name, Last Name, Gender.
The ID is an autonumber though so what can I put there in the text file because I'm getting an error? :confused:

Hello,
I'm making a MS Access frontend for some tables on the Oracle 8 database at work. The tables are linked ofcourse.
One table has an AUTONUMBER field on the Oracle and it seems to give me trouble to insert new records.
When I try to insert a new record (leave the autonumber field blank) I get the following error: "ODBC — insert on a linked table <table> failed. (Error 3155)" followed by the error "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-01722: invalid number (#1722)".
When I look at the Oracle documentation I got this:
ORA-01722 invalid number
Cause: The attempted conversion of a character string to a number failed
because the character string was not a valid numeric literal. Only numeric fields or character fields containing numeric data may be used in arithmetic functions or expressions. Only numeric fields may be added to or subtracted from dates.
Action: Check the character strings in the function or expression. Check that
they contain only numbers, a sign, a decimal point, and the character "E" or "e" and retry the operation.
I checked the INSERT statement: "INSERT INTO AFM_HV_PROP_VALUE (HV_INST_ID, HV_PROPERTY_ID, TABLE_NAME, HV_PROPERTY_VALUE) VALUES (4, 'V_TESTJE', 'hv_inst', '123465')" and everything seems to be allright. The value that's causing the error is the "4" that gets in the "HV_INST_ID"-field.
Using TOAD to execute the SQL Statement, there is no problem at all.
When I look at the table design in MS Access I see that the Autonumber field is of the type "Double". That doesn't seem right to me...
Anyone some suggestions? I'm running out of courage :s
Greetings,
Niels R.

Hi All,
I am trying to create a make-table query, with a new AutoNumber field.
I know that if you are creating a new Text field you type FieldName: "" in Field and for a Number field you would type FieldName: [], but what do you type for an AutoNumber field?

I was adding an autonumber field to an existing table and I assumed the numbering would follow the order of the primary key but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I had a backup from a table that I saved to excel. Somehow we lost all the records from the table 10 minutes later. There where gaps in the id numbers due to some delete records in the past, and when I did try to put it back in the access table the records some how shift. is there a way of still using the ID nr that is an autonumber in the table and when I set the data back from excel and use the append when paste that they show up correctly? Maybe I can set the autonumber to start from the last record on the table?

I have a simple database that I inherited, that contains basic customer contact info. We want to start adding more functionality to the database, so I've done alot of research to learn about how to begin normalizing my data.The existing table does not contain a useful primary key, since we may have multiple individuals from the same company, companies with very similar names, etc.
I would like to add an AutoNumbered field to use as a CustomerID/primary key, but I can't seem to find a way to do so. Here is what I've tried so far:
I have tried to add a field to the table, and make it an AutoNumber data type. When I do so, I can error message saying that I cannot make a field AutoNumber if any other field in the table already has data entered in it.I have tried to create a new table containing only an AutoNumber PrimaryID field, and then import data from the existing table, but that just creates a 3rd table.

I got this to work easily on another form but on this particular form it doesnt work. I enter a command button and name it d1, then I enter this code for it to populate the current date in the field next to the box:
Private Sub d1_Click()
Date_Entered.Value = Date
End Sub
Can anyone see why it doesnt work :eek:
ERROR IS:
Run-time error '2465':
Database cant find the field 'Date' referred to in your expression.
When I enter a date field it enders whats in that field (blank) into the field I told it (Date_Entered) on my form.
