Tables :: Increment Number For Related Records Restarting At 0 For Each Parent
Sep 18, 2012
I have two tables, Articles and Versions, related 1 to many. In my Versions table I want to set up a field that will start at 0 for the first version record related to an article record, and as version records are added in relation to that same article record I want it to increment by 1, no gaps. It ideally would be editable. It will not likely count above 5.
I have created a table that acts as a header for my data and a second table that acts as line item data. What I need to do now is add a second child table that uses the line item data as its parent table and stores associated line items for each record. Is this possible?
I am creating a purchase request form for my company. The main form contains the PO Request # (autonumber) and general vendor and shipping information. The subform contains the item numbers on the order, the quantity and costs. What I am trying to do is make it so that users can click a "duplicate" button on the main form of an existing PO Request and have all the data replicated into a new PO Request. A lot of what we order is repetitious and it would time saving if users could just duplicate an order and modify as necessary. Can anyone help me with this one... Thanks!:confused:
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'm currently in the process of doing a an overhaul of the database including a table, some odd 17,500 records long.
What I need to do is to create a unique identifier from the existing part number, almost like an autonumber, but it only increments when there are duplicates. What I mean is that there would be for example, there would be five records of say, part 000135.
What I'm trying to get at is, how I would have to code to grab the existing part numbers (all formatted to be 6 digits), add an extra 2 digits to be its unique identifier, and then save it all to a Unique Identifier column, that I created.
An example of what I want is say, I have part numbers 000135 and 000136. The numbers would go up from 000135-01, 000135-02, 000135-03, 000136-01, 000136-02.... The dash is not as important as implementing the 2 digit unique identifier.
I have a master/child forms. in master form sale_id,collection notes are placed. and in child form all collection details like collectionnumber,date,etc., child form look like datasheet view.
When i select the record from the list depending on the sale_id all the collection records shown in datasheet view form. If no record is there ok. if more than one records are there in collections of sale_id.i need count of records in collection depending on sale_id and also if i select one row in collection, notes to be shown for that record when i clik on shownotes button.
If more than one record in collection automatically it increment. how many collections for the sale_id. collection number would be increment. How and also show notes depending on collection number and sale_id.
Hope someone can help me out on this one. Searched the forum but can’t find anything to help me out.
I have two tables: tblCustomers that contains unique customer records (names addresses etc.) and tblComments that contains comment data for the customers
Tables are joined one to many tblCustomers -> tblComments on account_ref
tblComments can contain several records per customer, all are datestamped.
I want just the latest datestamped comment record per customer, just can’t seem to work the logic on this one. Must be so simple but can’t fathom it.:confused:
Ideally, I’m producing a report of Customer data (Name, address, contacts etc) + the last comment record for each customer. Have started with a simple query, but have hit an impasse. Have tried sorting, group by, top 1, distinct etc, but don’t seem to be getting anywhere.:mad:
If someone can point me in the right direction, and give me a starter for 10 I’d be much appreciated.
Many sessions can have many employees - thus the joining table has been included.
When trying to delete an employee from the database using a form, I encounter the error:
The record cannot be deleted or changed because table 'tblEmployeeSessions' includes related records
Is there a problem with my table relationship structure? Or is it 'correct' that as the employee is supervising a session he/she cannot be deleted as this would interfere and maybe mess up the session record?
Looking to see if there is an easy solution to this problem I have.
I have a table which holds order information, the primary key for this table is orderID which is an autonumber.
The field in question is order number, which has a default value of "JJO"00000, which I have started manually at JJO10001, is there anyway i can get my database to automatically increment this number to save me from keep checking the last order number produced.
Lost count of the number of times I have gave the same order number to numerous customers.
I want to know how to reset (to start again from 1) my primary key field. As an example i have the "Customers" table with the field "customerID" as PK now i entered many values (20) then i deleted them but i want to start again and the "customerID" value starts with 21 i understand that but i want a fresh DB (i was testing things) and i want to start from 1 can i? how? i even deleted the relation between this table and the other table but no success!

I'm trying to code for a 'duplicate record' button on a form that, as well as copying the values of all the controls of the previous record to the new record, makes a certain control (which contains a number) increment as appropriate.
There are two controls on the form which contain the start and end values of a numerical sequence (of potentially any length) e.g. the range 48-82 shows 48 in text box boxREGSEQSTART and 82 in the text box boxREGSEQEND OR the single value 99 shows 99 in text box boxREGSEQSTART and text box boxREGSEQEND is empty. In a record, the value of boxREGSEQEND would always be higher than that of boxREGSEQSTART or would be blank.
The appropriate incrementing action would be:
After clicking 'Duplicate Record' button, If there is no value in boxREGSEQEND in the record being copied, then in the new duplicated record the value of boxREGSEQSTART should be 1 greater than the value of boxREGSEQSTART in the record it has been copied from.
i.e. the record being copied is records a single item, a single value, and the next record should show the sequence moved on by one
OR
If there is a value in boxREGSEQEND in the record being copied, then in the new duplicated record the value of boxREGSTART should be 1 greater than the value of boxREGSEQEND in the record it has been copied from.
i.e. the record being copied is recording multiple items, a sequence, but the next record should still show the sequence moved on by one
I can get the duplication to work no problem, and I can get the incrementing to work fine for the first set of conditions, but can't for the life of me get it to increment when there is a range!
The logic (in my head, expressed as best I can in the macro language ) for the whole sequence of actions goes like so:
RunMenuCommandCommand SelectRecordRunMenuCommandCommand CopyRunMenuCommandRecordsGoToNewRunMenuCommandCommand SelectRecordRunMenuCommandCommand Paste If [boxREGSEQEND]=[IsNull] Then GoToControlControl Name boxREGSEQSTARTSetValueItem = [boxREGSEQSTART] Expression = [boxREGSEQSTART]+1Else GoToControlControl Name boxREGSEQSTARTSetValueItem = [boxREGSEQSTART] Expression = [boxREGSEQEND]+1GoToControlControl Name boxREGSEQENDSetValueItem = [boxREGSEQEND] Expression = [boxREGSEQEND]=Null
Which I would assume would tell the program to copy the current record, make a new one and paste the copy, then if there was a range recorded in the original, start the numbering of the new record one number higher than the end of that range and clear the way in the new form in case it also records a range, otherwise just increment the sequence along by one.
I have a daabase that I am importing via excel. I want the entries to be numbered ex: MT0001 MT0002 etc....
I would like it to promt the user for the last number(or next number in sequence) entered, then fill in the blank records with the next increment number. The prefix will also change to so eventually the user would enter into the prompt RD0001. then autofill the 140 imported records with RD0002, rd0003... etc....
I can't really make seperate fields because the MT0001 number will become a barcode and putting them seperate causes many issues.
can this be done? Any help would be great I am still a beginner but slowly learning! Thanks!
I am working on a section of code that when a user clicks a button it looks at a table called TBLVersion and increments the version number. The version number format is 1.0.1 what I need the code to do is increment the last digit by one for example to "1.0.2". I got the flowing code to work in excel but could not figure out how to translate it to access.
Like other posters, I need the default value to be the last value plus one. I am using a subform, and the field I need to increment is ITEMNUMBER for items that are ordered for a specific project.
It is acceptable to me to replace ITEMNUMBER with 1 for the first item, I just want it to increment after that.
Clearly the use of DMAX in this situation will not work as ITEMNUM would continue to increment so that any given project might have ITEMNUM values as, for instance, 357-363 when it needs to be 1-7.
BTW - if I could use the maximum value I would set the default value of ITEMNUM on my form as:
I have a field in the parent table which indicates how many child tables there should be at the most. I'm uncertain about how to enforce this. I"m using access as the database to a Vb.net app. Should I do it in access or Vb.net or both.
I am working on a complex database, as i have to call sub tables in the parent table. but i don't know how i can create it. My database format is as below
Village name, UC Name, District, village basic information, village disasters history, village school safety plan, village DMC members, Hazard Map of the village,
After the field of District i have to call sub tables against each field with its details. How I can create it. in Hazard Map field i have to attach the map img files.
I have a table with an empty column called ActionID. I need to generate a numerical number that begins with 5000 and goes up by 1 number on each saved record. I have a basic form that links all of my other field to the table except the one I need to generate (ActionID) but will need that number saved to the table once its created.
I'm trying to create an Access database for my college so that our call centre can allocate students to a specific interview time/date. The problem I'm having is that each interview slot must only have a maximum of 10 students at a time.
I'm creating tables for the student details, address and for each interview slot available.
I'm using Access 2010.
How I can limit the number of records in a table to 10 so that when that interview slot is full it informs the user?
Currently I'm working on an invoicing database in which I can register my customers (or partners) and also make invoices and purchase orders. So far, it does exactly what I want it to do, but I'm struggling with the invoice numbers. What I want to have is that whenever I make a new record, the next invoice number in sequence is automatically assigned to it. Another desire is that this number is prefixed with the current year, and the counter should reset with every new year. So, for example:
2015001 2015002 2015003 etc.
Then
2016001 2016002 etc.
Don't worry about the maximum of 999 invoices, because I won't ever go beyond that limit.
I've created a database at my work place, in which I wanted to add my requisitions. What I wanted is to have an auto increment field for my reference number field, that field is like 001/Jan/15. In which first 3 digits refer to the requisition number, then month and then year.
How can I create an input mask with auto increment to solve out this problem.
I have two tables, identical in terms of structure (number & names of fields etc.) but different in terms of content (records not necessarily the same, some may be common to both, some may only be present in one or other table)
I want to set up a query to count the number of records which are present in one table (Table A) but not in the other (Table B) using a common identifier field, and put the numerical result in a text box on a form (i.e. use the query as the control source for the text box)
I've managed to come up with the following which provides the list of ID's :
Quote:
SELECT tblA.CommentId FROM tblA LEFT JOIN tblB ON tblA.Id = tblB.Id WHERE tblB.Id Is Null;
Which will come in useful elsewhere but how do I adjust this SQL to only return the number of records? I think I have to use COUNT(*) somehow but I'm not familiar with it and not sure of the syntax?
