Tables :: Consecutively Number Table Rows With User Determined Start Number
Jul 13, 2014
I have an Access2007/SQL Server 2012 system with 20 users for an insurance company. The company does most of its business via a network of vehicle dealers around the country. If someone comes in to buy a motorcycle, boat, or recreational vehicle at a dealership they need insurance to take it home, and our dealers send the quotes to us.
The dealers, in turn, receive payment from us each month for their efforts. Some are paid a % commission on the premium, some are paid for each quote they send regardless of whether the policy actually sells or not, and some are paid a set amount per sold policy. (Yes, that is relevant information!)
We already have reports that tally the amounts due each dealer based on their payment scheme, but last month our bookkeeper had to write about 650 checks manually because the check writing is not automated. She'd look at the report, and then enter name, address, and amount (in digits and words) into Quick Books and print the checks from there, a horribly tedious process. I've been asked to print the checks from Access. Basically one click would print all 650 checks.
I've opted to use a Make Table query to move the commissioned dealers amounts to a single location, and then to run two append queries to add the records from those paid per quote and those paid per policy. At the end of the day, one table contains all the information necessary to print the checks...except one.
The check number.
I need a way to sequentially number each record in the new table with a user generated starting point, the first check number.
By the way, the check blanks are on standard letter sized paper, three to a page, with tear-off perforations to separate them, in case that information has any relevance.
I think the best way to accomplish this is from the report itself. I've created a blank field on each record for the check number, and what seems most logical is that the sequential number is generated on print and written back to the table, rather than just generating all the numbers at once. That way, should print ever be interrupted, it will be easy to take up where we left off.
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.
The above table suits me well for data entry.For analysis reasons, I want it to have another table or query or something (let's call it "Teacher Info") that looks like this:
Is there any way that I could do this? I have been struggling with this for a while.Just so you know how this data is connected - At the moment, I have a form where I put in new Teacher information. I have a subform attached to that, where I put the student names and numbers. This way, the students are linked with their student #s, and each of them are linked to a teacher. Unfortunately, the table ("New Teacher Registration") that this creates looks like this:
id....Teacher Name 62...... Alice (+ tab).........A.........432 ...................B.........674 ...................C.........875 18.......Katie (+ tab).........D.........934 ...................E.........345 4........Dan (+ tab).........F.........134 ...................G.........734
I created the "Student Info" table (above) from this to work with data entry (drop-downs and such). Now I'd like to create a "Teacher Info" table (above) for analysis.
I need to do a count of the total number of rows in a table or query. Say I have a table with 7 records, I want to be able to get total number of rows instead of the sum of the row and save it to some other table.
I need to write a code that checks if every 6 lines in a table contains a string. If it contains the string, then carry on looping, but if it does not, it will delete the current line and the previous 6 lines before it. The program should then continue looping through the entire table.
For example,
Code: Apple a b c d e Apple f g h i j Apple l m n o p q Apple . . .
I need to find the string "apple" in every 6 lines. So, that means that the first 2 Apples are fine, but for the third one needs to be deleted as it contains 7 lines instead of 6.
Started a new thread: Rebuilt database and still working with auto number for multi user form. The code I have works for single user but not multi user. Also if someone opens the form and closes without adding anything to the form the number is used with blank record.
This is what I have thus far:
Private Sub Form_Current() Me.[PO] = Nz(DMax("[PO]", "tblPurchaseOrder"), 0) + 1 End Sub
I would like to know if there is any procedure to restrict/stop auto number increment for certain number of record count (say 50), then increment by 1 for next 50 records.
Hi How can you set a primary key number (autonumber) to start from a particular number - eg "10000" I have invoices issued from an old accounts package - and am creating a new database to replace it, but do not want to duplicate old invoice numbers. I seem to remember in the past a way of setting this but cant remember - any help please ? Thanks
I am trying to avoid the creation of a lookup table where I know I should be able to calculate this. I need to determine the start and end date of a week number. I did find this post from 2002: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=33116&highlight=start+end+dates+week but it doesn't seem to work.
What I am trying to do is show all projects that were opened at the start of a week number. For example, week 2 is from 1/7/2008 and ends on 1/13/2008 (provided that your week starts in the week that 1/1 occurs and that your week starts on Monday). I need this start date so I can show all projects that started on or before 1/7/2008 and were in an open status.
If I can't calculate this then I will have to create a table and relate the query to it.
I create autonumber as primary key in a table, then i tried to enter a record in that table. Then i deleted it, but when i enter a new record, auto number started with the next number. Ex: i enter a record and autonumber for it is 1. I deleted this record and entered a new record, but i found autonumber is 2. I want the number is 1,
I am working in ms access database form. I have a form with detail section. In detail section i would like to make sr.no field auto increase each time new quotation is created. Using AutoNumber didn't work because because it doesn't start the serial number from 1 for each new quotation.
I am calculating number of weeks between start and finish date. Some of the users have questioned the validity of calculation as they are not too sure if this is being calculated as Monday to Friday week or does it work by calculating 7 days. If the latter is true, then I should see a decimal value. I am using date diff formula.
Hi Everyone I have been searching EVERYWHERE, but was unable to locate even the correct wording of my problem, so I decided to see if there is anyone here solve this riddle for me:
I have a simple table with 2 fields ie : NAME NUMBER George 5 John 3 etc... I have the need to make a report that makes stickers and make 5 stickers with the name George on it and 3 with the name John etc... I cant even think of a query that would produce 5 rows of George followed by 3 Johns (;}).. The actual problem is more complex than this ( many times ) but this is what is holding me back atm.
Thanks in advance people, and I would like to say that I have learned VERY VERY MUCH from this site alone , and within a month from starting to learn Access for the first time, I have succesfully made a database that is working just fine for invoices and keeping track of inventory....
i want to know such a method that if i give a number, the database find me the next available number from the given list in the table.for example, i have a table having list of numbers like 6500, 6501, 6502 etc, I give the number 6500, the database should give me the next available number in sequence from that given list in the table.
I have made a query from different tables; however, my query is returning about 5 rows for each person because some fields in the query return more than 1 row.
i have created a Union sql Table View, that i have connected to in access. Its a list from 5 different companines of Supplier accounts. I need to create an autonumber for this table? Not sure if this may be more SQL based than access
SELECT PLSupplierAccountID AS AccountID, SupplierAccountNumber AS AccountNumber, SupplierAccountName AS AccountName, 'RWL' AS Company FROM Roth.dbo.PLSupplierAccount UNION ALL SELECT PLSupplierAccountID AS AccountID, SupplierAccountNumber AS AccountNumber, SupplierAccountName AS AccountName, 'FAH' AS Company FROM FAH.dbo.PLSupplierAccount UNION ALL
I am having a table for invoicing and vouchers, and I need to have two fields that will have auto incremental numbers. How I can have two fields in the same table with autonumbers and how can I get one of them to start from a different value.
Eg. Record 1 - [inv No] 1 [Vno] 0005 Record 2 - [Inv No] 2 [Vno] 0006
I have an address database where people have been allowed to type in any characters they want in place of just leaving a missing field blank. For instance the Zip code was not a required field (don't as me why because I don't know. It just wasn't) so over the years when the person entering the data didn't know what the zip code was they would put a ?, a 0, a 000 or a period or what ever else they could think of at the time.
I would like to add a filter in my query where I could eliminate any thing with less then a certain amount of characters.
I thought something like this would do the trick
Zip: IIf(Len([V_ZIP]<5),[V_ZIP],"0")
But I am getting a data type mismatch in criteria expression. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
I am looking for a way to limit the number of rows that are added to the subform of a main form. Is there anyway that the allowable number of rows be defined using a field on the main form.
I have an ... interesting issue. I am wondering if others have dealt with this. I have a solution, but am not the happiest with it.
I basically have 2 databases here. (Or I will when I'm done making them) and one is dependent upon the other. In fact, the 2nd's tables are dependent upon the fields in the first database's table.
This database is for quality control checking purposes.
First off,
Database 1: Basically a list of standardized audits and what needs to be checked for those audits. What needs to be checked can change as things progress, but stays pretty standard.
Database 2: This will hold the checks that the QC branch will do, based on what type of Quality Check they are doing, they have an audit standard. This audit standard exists in database 1.
What basically ends up happening is that the data in Database1 become Table fields in database2.
Example:
Database1: Radio Check Audit Standard. Needs to check following: Process Specs EDMS Drawings Manuals SoP / Policy Used Radio callback Used radio during emergency Etc.
Another Random Check Audit Standard Needs to check the following Process Specs EDMS Drawings Manuals SoP / Policy Did something specific for this Audit Didn't do something else, also specific for this Audit. Etc.
Continue on with other Audits.
Database2: Will keep track of all the quality checks that have been preformed.
Today we will check Radio Protocol Did they: Process Specs EDMS Drawings Manuals SoP / Policy Used Radio callback Used radio during emergency Etc.
Yes, No as necessary.
2 Days later, we need to do another QC on the Radio Protocol Need to check if they did: Process Specs EDMS Drawings Manuals SoP / Policy Used Radio callback Used radio during emergency Etc.
Etc.
But what will be checked for in Database2 depends on what the standard is for the "Radio Check Protocol," or etc.
Right now, i see 2 options:
Option1 Make the 2 databases, and when a user "Picks" the Radio Check protocol, a linked table is filled with the Name / object that needs to be checked with a field in the same row to hold the data if the object was done / not done etc. The fields in Database1 are automatically put into this specific instance of Quality Check, etc.
Only problem with this: Requires coding to auto update. Easy to do, but if errors occur, things will screw up.
Option2: When the user picks the Radio Check protocol, simply allow a subform with a refreshed drop down box. Allow user to pick items they need (Limit it to only this Audit list, etc) to set to true. Assume false for other items not specifically chosen by user.
Problem with this: If an Audit standard changes to remove an item, or add item. Any quality checks done will also change for the assumed false items. If another Item added in, then all old QCs will now also have that item added in / reported assumed false. And if it is deleted, all old QCs will loose the item that was reported false.
I'm seen the first option as the only viable one.
Am I missing this, is there some other way to do this that would be better / wiser? Etc?
Validating field from a query. I have a table with a field that has a value number that I need to validate that that number exist in another table in a field
Table1.field1 Number Table2.field1 number
So let's say a have in table2.field1 the list 1 2 3 4 5 8
In table1.field1 I need to validate that the number I enter is present in table2.field1 so 1 would be ok but 6 invalid and it can't be a from list statement because I need the person to enter a number and get no error or get invalid number.
I am making a basic hospital management system in Access 2013.I have two tables named "Bed" and "Receipt". Bed(BedID,AssignedDate,PatientID,DischargeDate,Bed Charges) Reciept(ReceiptID,PatientID,BedCharges) I want to calculate "BedCharges" by calculating the number of days using "AssignedDate" and "DischargeDate" and then multiplying with a constant amount of charges per day. Also the BedCharges calculated in "Bed" Table also needs to be in the "Receipt" table. How can I count the number of days and then calculate the "BedCharges" in both the tables?
