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 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created a report from the information submitted on a form. When I pull up the report, I would like it to sort differently than it is. I am not sure what it is using to sort from but I want it to sort by a designated # I have assigned it.
Is there a way to make it so the access's record # will always match our companies record #?
Today I entered information in a form that should have gone in as record 96 but when I went back to look at the record in the report, it was record # 72. ??????? Now what do I do?
I've got a rapidly expanding database that I designed to do my quotes for work and now I'm trying to expand it to add up the invoice amounts when the jobs come to fruition. I've got 99% of it working well but as I'm not the only one entering data I'm trying to make it as foolproof as possible and here is my problem.
I have a multi-line textbox that receives 'vehicles' in an abbreviated format and I need to get them in order based on a sort column number in the appropriate table. This i can do but the code I have found removes the duplicates which I don't want as I can can two identical vehicles on the same job.
e.g
Vehicle Sort Order
UNT/FL 500
FL4/45 400
E7/F5 600
UNT/FL 500
I want as
FL4/45 400
UNT/FL 500
UNT/FL 500
E7/F5 600
I would like to get the Min + Max values of the data currently in the form, but without changing the sorting currently on the form.
So I was hoping for this, but it is not working. The data in the recordset are not sorted.
Code:
Set R = Me.RecordsetClone
R.Sort = "SendOn ASC"
R.MoveFirst
MinDate = R!SendOn
R.MoveLast
MaxDate = R!SendOn
Any other method except iterating through the entire recordset?
Hello,
I have a simple invoice database with a primary key in the main table (with autonumber as invoice no.) and a subform with the item details which is without a primary key with the data type as numbers. In addition, I had the tables linked as one to many relationship. What happen is that when I am entering the data, the number jumps . For eg: It was suppose to be 7123 but the next entry was 7150. Pls kindly advice.
i am going to use the autonumber as an order number but I want " SC2015 in front of it so i end up with " sc20151 , sc20152 but next year i want it to change the year SC201650 .how to put the sc2015 in my report without any input from the user

I'm designing a report that should be sorted by field A, B, C, D, or a combination of BD or CD.
Problem is (it seems) the report ignores the sort order and lists the results in ascending order of the autonumber field - 1,2,3,4,5 etc.
The reports run off queries and the queries work fine - they sort the fields in the proper order.
Is the autonumbering somehow interfering with the sort order in the report?
HELP!!!
This is something I occasionally see in Access and has been bugging me for quite a while.
As an example, when I have a table (all text fields except for the ID field which is an Autonumber with a unique index - ie just what Access creates when you import data) and I try to make a new table from a query by indexing the Autonumber field in descending order (ie to reverse the order of the table), it doesn't work properly.
So if I have:
SELECT [mytable].* INTO [mytable sorted] FROM [mytable] ORDER BY [mytable].[ID] DESC;
When I preview the data (ie run the select query to have a look at it), it looks fine.
When I change the query to a 'Make Table' and I then I check the table it makes, the order changes part-way down the list, so looking at the ID field it runs from number 2669 down to 2087 correctly, then it goes from 1960 to 1956, then 1803 to 1799, then 1751 to 1747, etc etc etc. After a while it seems to correct itself again, and orders normally down to #1
I'm using Access 2002.
I am trying to use the template provided in the Access database wizards, pages and projects. Its called Order Entry. What i would like to do is edit the template to fit my needs but i need to change the Product ID feild from Autonumber to a product id of my own. I would however like to keep it as the Key.
Any Suggestions?

View 8 Replies View RelatedHi,
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.
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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedMy 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've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks

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?
