Tables :: Autonumber Counter That Starts From 1 Each Day
Nov 11, 2014
I made a simple access project and I want to make a count for my visits, this counter MUST starts from one each morning "every new day", I use autonumber field to give each visit its unique code, I'm ok with that, but i need additional counter that resets each new day,, i watched some videos for making the autonumber starts from different number like 1000 for example using Append query but i didn't figure out how to use this method for resetting counter everyday.

The above image is of a table which I need to update according to a new data on daily basis. As you can see when I added two records at the last , the AutoNumber primary key of the table jumped by thousands . I have used the following query to update the table
Code:
db.Execute "INSERT INTO D_Counterparty (CPTY_ENTITY_ID,CPTY_DESC)"_ & "SELECT Ctpy_Entity_Id,Ctpy_Entity_Legal_Nm"_ & "FROM NewCU LEFT JOIN D_Counterparty ON D_Counterparty.CPTY_ENTITY_ID=NewCU.Ctpy_Entity_Id"
I never changed the AutoNumber from incremental to random and I have also tried re-seeding it but had no success. Also when I inserted the sample values using a sample table ,the AutoNumber was working fine . Here's that query
Code:
db.Execute "INSERT INTO D_Counterparty (CPTY_ENTITY_ID,CPTY_DESC,) SELECT a,b, FROM sample"
I did not use join in this query ...

I am having is that the auto-number value on his machine is different than on mine so anytime I try to add data in testing, it tries to create a primary key value that already exists in the table.Can I set the auto-number "counter" on my computer to a chosen value so I don't have these issues?

I need to set some 'global' variables with default values when my Access 2007 database is loaded. Depending on the user etc these values may be modifed after Access starts but defaults need to be set.
I declared the variables as 'Public' in a Module, then put a function in the same Module (to set the default values) then tried to call the function from an "AutoExec" macro, so it's the first thing that runs when Access loads.The macro throws an error - it can't 'find' the function(?)

I have a table, Purchases, which has a 1:N relationship with another table, Items. Each purchase can have multiple Items.
'PurchaseID' is the primary key of my Purchases table.
The Items table has a composite primary key, made up of PurchaseID (making it an identifying relationship) and ItemID.
As you can see, I have ItemID starting reverting back to 1 each time PurchaseID increments. PurchaseID is an autonumber on the Purchases table, however ItemID is just a Number and has to be entered manually. If I set ItemID to an autonumber, it will continue to increment even after PurchaseID changes.
What I am trying to do is to get ItemID to auto-increment but revert back to 1 each time PurchaseID increments.
The entry form for both looks like this:
The Record Source of the main form is the Purchases table, and the subform is a Multiple Items Form based on the Items table. Filling out the form will create a new Purchase record with an auto-incremented PurchaseID, and a number of new Item records with that same PurchaseID, and whatever ItemID's are specified in the subform. Currently the ItemID's have to be entered manually as 1, 2, 3, etc.
Is there a way to get them to auto-increment, but begin from 1 for each new Purchase record?

When I open my DB (I use Access 2003), Access flashes a window 'Security warning : This file may not be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer. Do you want to open this file or cancel the operation?'
How do I stop this annoying message so that my DB opens directly?

I need to write a query that shows all records if any 'L' field starts with D. I have written this, but it's only pulling records if L1 starts with D.
SELECT Item, Description, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8, L9, L10, L11, L12
FROM Table5
WHERE ((L1 LIKE 'D*') OR (L2 LIKE 'D*') OR (L3 LIKE 'D*') OR (L4 LIKE 'D*') OR (L5 LIKE 'D*') OR (L6 LIKE 'D*') OR (L7 LIKE 'D*') OR (L8 LIKE 'D*') OR (L9 LIKE 'D*') OR (L10 LIKE 'D*') OR (L11 LIKE 'D*') OR (L12 LIKE 'D*'));

I have access db sending report with outlook every Monday.
But the problem is if outlook is open when I start the db, email goes in to outgoing folder and msg box of outlook opens saying " outlook will close after countdown if I do not hit the "DO NOT EXIT" button or "EXIT AND SEND LATER" button.
If I hit "EXIT AND SEND LATER" button, it sends next time I open the outlook.
Is it possible to prevent outlook doing this?

Hi,
I need to create a table with 2 sets of different information both referring to job types. the problem is that i need the autonumber which created the job number to scale together. so both tables have a primary key of "job number" and i want the autonumber to only ever use 1 number in both tables.
e.g.
job type 1 - autonumbers - 1,2,3,4,6,7,9,10
job type 2 - autonumbers - 5,8,11,12
is there anyway of achieving this?
Any help greatly appreciated

OK, My main table has an autonumber field in it to make records unique.
At the moment, the number 5-34 are all in use on active records. But when I create a new record either in the front end form, or the back end directly in the table, it attempts to start the record off with an already existing number.
No idea why this is doing this at all.
Is it possible to reset the autonumber to say 50 so all new records start at 50, then 51 etc.
I really dont want to lose the numbers already assigned, as there are other tables that rely on that autonumber as the clients ID to record all the other data.
Its probably something very simple, but I cant carry on with my data entry at the moment.

I have three tables.
EAch has a field called ID that is an Autonumber that is the primary key.
When I enter data via a form each record has a different ID across the three tables.
Does this mean they are not linking up correctly?
I have attached my databaset if that helps.
Thanks.

My database exports data to one of our customers who then inputs the data into their system.
One field i have is "RO Number" which i have as an autonumber which works for the purposes of my part of the system.
However they have it set as "RO9999", (Their system has been set up for years, we are a new "branch") but they aren't in access.
They want the RO number to be a running serial from RO30000, RO30001 etc
The data in entered on a form.

Why one would want a unique index on an ID key ? It can't be effectively used in joins and is never used in a where clause. So why have one ?

I am creating a database for cases. I want to set autonumber into sequence, Let say if there are data numbering 1,2,3,4,5. If I delete no.2, The data will rearrange in oreder from 1,2,3,4. While If I add a new value it would be the no.5.
Instead of data value autonumber 1,2,3,4,5 as I deleted no.2 and add new records. The data has become 1,3,4,5,6.

I'm creating a database for a travel agency. There are 2 tables, one for customers and one for their bookings. I have established a relationship between the tables so the AutoNumber for customer ID links to a field on the add booking table.
In practice though, it would be easier to enter the customer NAME into the booking table and have it retrieve their ID that way to link them. This seems like I am missing something simple but can't fathom a way to do it.
The other factor is obviously more than one customer will have the same name so I may need to link first name as well to differentiate?

I need to restrict the random autonumber feature to 10 digits and a positive number for a primary key. I work in the medical field, and HIPAA privacy regulations require the use of random ID numbers to identify records. Also, I need the numbers to be positive numbers because we will be using barcode scanning equipment and the possibility of truncating the negative identifier creates the possibility (admittedly remote) of having a duplicate PK barcodes. I understand that we cannot change the Access feature, but any VBA code to generate a truly random 10 digit positive number I can use as a PK?

use an account reference from one field in a table on a second table and add a number after it... e.g.
Table 1 Table 2
PEFA PEFA/001
PEFA PEFA/002
PEFA PEFA/003
PEFA PEFA/004
and so on...

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 have 3 tables: [SurveyVendor], [Surveys] and [SurveyResults]
SurveyVendor has 2 fields:
[VendorID] - PK
[VendorName]
Surveys has 3 fields:
[SurveyID] - PK
[VendorName] - FK
[SurveyName]
SurveyResults has 3 fields:
[SurveyResultID] - PK
[SurveyName] - FK
[SurveyQuantity]
I used the LookUp wizard to establish the relationships, and I chose to include 3 fields when linking [SurveyResults].[SurveyName] to [Surveys].[SurveyID]. I'd like the ID, Survey Name and Vendor Name to be displayed when making a choice in the combo box. And I would like the column to only display the SurveyName.
However, what's happening is the VendorID shows up instead of the VendorName when I click the combo box for [SurveyName]. And the SurveyID shows up in the column results, rather than the Survey Name.

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?
