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.
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 "log_file" that I am going to be placing a nework. All I have done is create a new DB, create a table, and create a form. Now I want to make it so users open up the DB file and only see the form and cannot access/edit the table. Basically, It is okay if they go back and forth through the records and change those, but I don't want them to be able to edit the form either.
I'm just not sure where to go from here. If there is more info I should provide please let me know.
I am trying to create a multi user login form for my Access 2010 database. I will have 2 different types of users (administrator and staff). The administrator will be able to see all tables and forms and edit/ add to them. The staff will only be able to view a switchboard form and 2 forms (as well as using combo boxes to look up specific records). However, I don't want the staff to be able to view the tables or edit anything.
I've managed to create a multi-user login form with macro.
user1 is able to login with his password and user2 is able to login with his password. latter I noticed that user1 is able to login with any password in the table and use his previous password to login even after changing it.
I am working on a db for a restaurant expense account. I am trying to design a multi-user login form to allow administrator and other users to log in the data entry form. I am a newbie to MS Access.
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.
Here 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.
I have a table, at the table I'v got these fields:
ID | num1 | num2 | sum
I want that the user put numbers at 'num1' and 'num2' fields and then the 'sum' field will calculate automatically the operator (sum=num1+num2).
I've tried to put any combination at 'Default value' of the sum field (all the fields are numbers , also tried to change the sum field to text...nothing works).
I'm getting a message that 'num1' field is not recognize at the table
(I tried =[num1]+[num2], without the '=', num1.table+num2.table , ...nothing works)
I also tried to do it with SQL command but it dosn't work.
There is any way to do it, is it possible? Or other way to do it at least at Form or at Report ?
I would like a way to auto-generate a pdf when a user clicks a link based on available tables within my database.
Basically i have developed a pricelist database and our reps need a printable pdf version of that available items and there attributes.
I have done some research and it appears that visual studio and crystal reports may be what I am looking for. This is an access web database that is accessed housed in sharepoint.
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?
There 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?
Is there a way I can format AutoNumber for a primary key, for example, have the first ID start as C001 then for the next entry Access will automatically go to C002, and so on and so forth?
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.
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 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?
I 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.
I've seen different log in forms and tips on multi-user use but can't seem to find info on the following...
We have 6 people at work and I'd like to assign which user updated a form or created a new record...this would be particularly useful on the sales part of the database to track who made a call to a particular customer...
I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.
