I have a table which will be completely emptied and refilled. The table has a field autonumbered it is also the primary key. When the table is refilled I want this field to start from 1. How can I do that. Yes some people will say this subject has been discussed search for it. But here the issue is somewhat different we have an existing field and I do not want to compact the database each time the procedure runs.
View Replieshow to reset autonumber field.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThere is a autonumber column in one table Order.Everyday I need delete records in Order and then append records into it.Doing so, autonumber keeps on increasing.Is there any way to reset Autonumber from 0 after deleting records?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a BE database that we have been using for over a year. I imported data from an external database into this database. Now I've found that my Autonumber has reset to a very low number -- that was imported from my external database. Is there a way to change this autonumber BACK to what it was and increment up? The lowest autonumber in this database is 275944, so I don't have to worry about duplicates in the near future. I would like it reset to 457230, or at least higher than that number.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to reset the auto numbering? I import new data then archive the old data. As I do this weekly my auto numbers are getting high and my users do not care for this aspect

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need some kind of function (I been told) that generates 3 different alphanumeric autonumbers in the same field when adding a new record, starting such field from A-1, B-1 and C-1 to infinite.Because the record gets inserted in the table with an append query and not manually through a form, I believe the function should be placed in the Default Value setting of the field.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I have decided that I want my ID's to be AutoNumbers, but at the moment they are currently set as Numbers. I have already inserted data, to test, which has been deleted, however I am now unable to change the ID field back to AutoNumber.
How can I duplicate the tables so that this field can be changed again?
I have like 10 tables with heaps of feild, so remaking them will take long, but I know there is a way using queries, I am just not sure how...

As part of a larger multi-user system there is a time recording part with a simple table called tblTime with an autonumber field. Today at 11:45 users started reporting receiving a 3022 error. On looking at the table I noticed that if I tried to manually add a record then the ID field number inserted automatically was not the next number in sequence, but one that already existed, hence the error.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere is my issue. In a table with an Auto Number index some records have been deleted. I have been able to recreate them along with their original auto number. The problem is that I do not know how to append these records forcing the original auto number. I have tried changing the auto number field to a number field in the table, this works except I cannot change it back to auto number.
I am sure I’m not the first with this question or issue. I did search through a couple hundred entries about auto number before I posted this question.

Using Access 2007..I have a table where the RecordID is an autonumber, and PK.To set this table up I have a load routine, (becuase I have done this multiple times for testing and further deveopment and I compact and repair the DB prior to loading) - the 690 records are correct numerically and autonumbered.This table has transactional data where existing records are updated and new records are appended.
I found the autonumber was not incrementally increasing - so no reseed the auto number (using ALTER TABLE 3IWSPLans ALTER COLUMN RecordID COUNTER (1000,1)) prior to starting the transactions.
New transactions will append correctly, up untill I amend a existing record (using a delete and append query via a staging table) - then the autonumber tries to reuse a number already in the table and because its not unique it errors.why the auto-number is not incrementally increasing correctly
Need to have a command button at form.. what i need to do is is saving a record through command button one time so produce same id for all parts like;
if i am having a field as parts and id now if i put parts as;
Parts ID
Wheel
Tyre
Rim
so at the time of button click (command button) the id number to be issued as same as 1 for all three parts, when adding more parts after few minutes or after the click then after addition of next parts the id should be 2 for all, means what i need is to have id number as respect of button click but once click then 1, then after =2 and so on..
When I first was making my database I used all auto numbers for PK's. But then I read an article or two saying that you really don't need to do that if you don't have to (actually, the article said "don't use autonumber if you want anyone to understand your database). I have a few tables (most employee experience type tables) where I just use the word as the PK and there is no auto number in the table at all.I continue to build my database?

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.

Record 2 - [Inv No] 2 [Vno] 0006
I am creating a Access Data Base for Product Complaint. I have created several tables that share an auto complaint number (Primary Key). How do I make that auto assign? Below is the format of my Complaint number;
A Complaint Number is assigned using the format: PCYYMMXXX
Where:
PC = Prefix indicating Product Complaint
YY = Last two digits of the year when complaint originated
MM = Two digits for the month when complaint originated
XXX = Sequential number starting at 001 for each year
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?
View 14 Replies View RelatedStarted 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.

I Want to automatic Generate the Numbers (Me.RID) when everytime loading the form.
EXAMPLE "14011701", "14011702", "14011703", "14011704"....
140117 mean "yymmdd" and the last 2 digit mean autorun Number.
But in the next day 140118 I want the last 2 digit auto Reset and start form 01 example "14011801", "14011802", "14011803", "14011804"....

I am trying to construct a system in access where I can have a user type in a part number, revision of a part, job number, serial number quantity, and generate a serial number based on the quantity that they need.
I am getting hung up on even how to construct the tables effectively to accomplish this, let alone the forms, queries, etc.
The numbers have to be in the following form. XXXX-XXXX
For an example:
I have part ABC and I need 5 serial numbers.
I need to be able to create a batch of serial numbers automagically that reads like:
9001-0001
9001-0002
9001-0003
9001-0004
9001-0005
Then for the next part XYZ I need 3 serial numbers. It would be constructed like this:
9002-0001
9002-0002
9002-0003
With the goal of eventually being able to search a part number and revision, or a job number and return all serial numbers assigned to that.
Is this possible in MS Access?
I have a few questions about tables and forms joining, and auto-population of data.
If I join all 8 of my tables one to one to one to one to one, is that possible? That is my first question.
Secondly: If I have my RSN number that I'm using to track each record, is it possible that if I type in the number on a different form, and two of the fields are similar on every form that they will auto populate since the tables are joined?
And if they're filled out in one form, they should know that these were the fields we said were attached to this number it'll just appear? Is that a real thing?
Hi guys,
Just a quick one ( I think )
I have a table which already has an autonumber ( the id field )
But I need to create another field also with an auto generated number which will generate reference number which i need to start at a pre-defined number.
The problem is, im not allowed to use 2 auto number fields, and access is prompting me to use a number field instead.
The question is, is there a way around this ?
Can i create another field which works the same way as an auto number and increments the number by 1 for each new record entered ?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Max
