Tattslotto Number Checker
Mar 19, 2006
Hi All,
I have a database which contains all historical draws from our Tattslotto system here in Australia.
I want to get some comments on the best way to tackle checking two tables as listed below.
tblDrawn_No 'This is the table with drawn tattslotto numbers so only one row per draw
fldDraw_No
fldDrawn_No_1
fldDrawn_No_2
fldDrawn_No_3
fldDrawn_No_4
fldDrawn_No_5
fldDrawn_No_6
fldDrawn_No_7 'Supplementary number 1
fldDrawn_No_8 'Supplementary number 2
tblTicketNumbers 'This is a table with 24 rows and 6 coloumns, consisting of 6 numbers selected from 1 - 45 for 24 games.
fldRow ' field to describe each row "A - X" on ticket
fldTicketNumber1
fldTicketNumber2
fldTicketNumber3
fldTicketNumber4
fldTicketNumber5
fldTicketNumber6
So I suppose I want to compare the last row of tblDrawn_No, being the current draw with each fldTicketNumber(1-6) game on the ticket of tblTicketNumbers. Sample attached.
I was hoping to display the output on a form somehow?:confused:
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Guys
Just like to say that I am almost ashamed at how little I know about access, so I guess over the months I will be taking out alot more than I will be putting in! Anyway, I have the following project to do.
Basically it will be necessary to download from an ODBC database on a daily basis, and there will be around 300 products. Each product will be made up of 12 individual fields. What I would like to do is manually key in against these fields from a paper reciept and it will be only shown if the manual input matches what has been downloaded ie Say one of the fields is "Colour", and from the download it says 'Red', therefore if I manually type in any other colour an error message will come up. The basic reasoning behind this is I want access to act as a kind of manual checker from our downloads, with an audit trail of what is being checked. Any typos would be negated as the field would be highlighted, and therefore the inputter can double check any incorrect fields. The current process is done by sight and obviously this means that errors get made as well as no audit on what has been checked.
Anyways thats the theory behind it, can anyone offer me any tips to help me off as I have no idea where to begin! Indeed, is Access suitable for the job? I am presuming that every field will have to have a Vlookup when text is manually keyed in against the download?
Any help is appreciated. Literally any as I am in way over my head!
Regards
Mike
Sorry for the typo in the heading!

Hi firstly I want to say I am not a programmer or anything like that, I know enough about Access to get me by with simple things but after that i get a little stuck so please dont baffle me with loads of technical coding terms :D
Ok..I have a database with a form where the users enter a subject and description. I have a spell checker running on these 2 fields which works fine up to a certain point. If the users goes in, adds a new record, tabs off the field, the spell checker runs, etc then it works fine. If the user then creates a new record and it picks up a spelling mistake in the new record it jumps back to the previous record that was created and spell checks that again.
If you close the form and open it again before creating the second record it is fine. Could anyone possible shed any light on the situation? Below is the code that I am using (found it on the internet somewhere)
Private Sub Description_AfterUpdate()
'If the textbox contains data run the
'Spell Checker after data is entered.
If Len(Me!Description & "") > 0 Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Description_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
End Sub
Private Sub Subject_AfterUpdate()
'If the textbox contains data run the
'Spell Checker after data is entered.
If Len(Me!Subject & "") > 0 Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSpelling
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

I have a form [IUDATA]
I have a add record button.
I have a date field [DATEIN]
I have a text field [DRPNO]
If the [DPRNO] field is empty, I would like the user to have the [DPRNO] field be automatically populated after the user enters a date.
I'd like the format of [DPRNO] to be "dpr YY-XXX"
Where:
YY is the year of the [DATEIN] field and
XXX is number of records in that year.
So for example, if it was the 4th record with a 2013 date the [DPRNO] would be dpr 13-004.

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.

Date of Birth (DOB) field etc. in one program are text - how do I make another file with the same data into number fields for Date of Birth field etc? When I copy data to file that has number fields the 09252004 is changed to 9252004. Can I get reports with the correct Date of Birth in them by moving data from text file to number file?
There is data entered monthly in file and formula has been set up for January, February etc as ---quarter: Int(([month]-1)/3)+1. I would like formula for the fiscal year for April to be counted as month 1, May - month 2, June as month 3, July as month 4, August as month 5, Sept as month 6, October as month 7, Nov as month 8, Dec as month 9, Jan as month 10, Feb as month 11 and March as month 12.
Thank you

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.

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,
I'm trying to get the maximum number in a table field to increase it by one depending on the member that is selected in a drop down in a field.
I have three tables: members, programs and times. Each member can have N programs and each program can be broadcast N times.
Each member has a three digit code, like XXX. Each program has the three digit code of the member + three numbers that are supposed to auto increment. That is, the first program of member X with the member code XXX is called XXX001.
What I'm trying to do is that when a new program is filled in and I select the member, then the program code should update automatically, adding one to the latest program by that member.
That is, if the last program by member X that was inserted in the database is XXX010, then if a new program is inserted it should automatically be XXX011, even though programs by other members have been added in between.
This is the code I use now, for the AfterUpdate when selecting the member in a dropdown in the form. But although I've played around a bit, I just get error messages...
Private Sub medlemsruta_AfterUpdate()
Dim medlemskod
medlemskod = Me![medlemsruta].Column(2)
Dim strMax As String
strMax = DMax("programs_kod", "table_programs", "Left$(programs_kod, 3) = medlemskod")
Me!program_kod = Left$(strMax, 3) & Format$(Val(Right$(strMax, 3)) + 1, "000")
End Sub
Medlemsruta is a dropdown where one selects the member from the members table, where the three digit code is in the third column (Column(2)).
I'm trying to use DMax to get the maximum number for the particular member and after that adding 1 to that for the new program code.
Grateful for any advice! Thanks!

I have a access table with 32 columns and 42,000 rows of numbers. I need to find the MIN number in the row and if the MIN number has duplicates then I need them all placed into another column by column name.
Example:
Starting file
DEST,ORIGIN1,ORIGIN2,ORIGIN3,ORIGIN4, ETC
05512,3,2,4,2
ENDING table needed
DEST,ORIGIN1,ORIGIN2,ORIGIN3,ORIGIN4, NEWCOLUMNname
05512,3,2,4,2,2 ORIGIN2 ORIGIN4
Where the new column name contains the MIN number in the row and all of the associated duplicates column names.

Well, here's my database :
Name : String
Address : String
I want to add an automatically generated column, "no.", to show which number it's in. Like this :
No. Name Address
1. A Unknown
2. B Unknown2
The problem is, I can do that with Auto-Number, but if the user delete row 1, the number in row 2 is still 2, not 1.
Is it possible to generate query that have "no." column in it ?

I've created a report and report has the same number of pages as the number of records that it's displaying.
If there are two records, the report has 4 pages...the first 2 are the actual report and then the other 2 are a copy. If there are 3 records, the report would have 3 copies (...6 pages).
Any idea how to change this so that I have only one copy of the report?

I have a table with an auto number PK. This table will contain orders. I'd like to use the PK from this table as the Invoice number on the invoice. I'd like to have it start at a number other than "1" just because it looks better on an invoice. I don't know how to do this. I looked at the table design to see if there were options available to me there but couldn't find anything. Is it possible? (I do not know how to use code.)

I am working on a form and need it to be able to generate a random number to use as an invoice number. The only parameters i need it to meet is that it is at least 5 digits in length. I was hoping i could use a button to make the number generate in a separate box.

The title probably doesn't give an idea of what I need, so here goes.
We currently have reference #'s for our bills that include the date requested in mmddyy format, the first 3 letters of the customer, the initials of the order taker and finally a sequential number to show the sumber of bills that day.
example: 120705SEAGMM02 2nd order taken by GMM for Seagate on 12/7
120705SEARLH01 1st order taken by RLH for Seagate on 12/7
I want to generate this number automatically based on the date entered and the initials given of the user. We only deal with one customer at our desk so that will always be "SEA".
I have a query that generates the first portion (date, customer, and initials):
SELECT Format([REQDATE],"mm") AS [Month], Format([REQDATE],"dd") AS [Day], Format([REQDATE],"yy") AS [Year], Format([REQDATE],"mmddyy") AS [Both], [Both] & "SEA" & [PickUpReqData]![INITIALS] AS REFNO
FROM PickUpReqData;
But I can't seem to get my head around the part of generating the number. I know I had done this in a database I created 2 jobs ago but all my files were flooded out in Katrina. (I have since relocated to Atlanta, although I'm not looking for sympathy. But I will take what I can get!)
Anything to point me in the right direction will be appreciated. I am looking to have this on a form and feed the REFNO field in the PickUpReqData table.
Thanks.

This has to be a simple way to convert a positive number to a negative number. For example, convert 5 to -5. The field is quanitity and I wanted to convert to negative number. I tried to use negative = "-" & [quantity] but it doesn't work.

I have a table called "OrderDetails" with following fields:
Num
OrderID (Primary key)
Product
Quantity
Price
I want to create a data entry subform that can used to enter order details in this table such that, for a given OrderID, the Num field is automatically set to previous number + 1. For example, for OrderID = 12, if there are 4 products that need to be entered, the 4 records should automatically take 1 , 2, 3, 4.

Hi, I have a form with some fields on it, there is one called Pro Number. what I would like to happen is when a new record is created, it starts at a certain number and continues to increment by one. In other words, the first record would be 5600 and the next new record would be 5601 etc.
I did have this working in an previous database, by creating a append query to start the number, but that does not seem to be working now...
Any help would be very much apprecited.

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 am using a template database that I downloaded from the Microsoft Access template website and have been modifying it and adding new forms and tables etc. I have used the forms wizard to create a number of new forms to edit a number of the tables. The forms are "split forms".I can't seem to get many of the forms to stay the size that I set them to! They seem to have a mind of their own and often when I think that I have sized them correctly, I then open the form and they display in full screen mode or larger!
