This then gives me a unique number. Once i have entered a job in it will generate a number. Now this part works fine but it does not update the Maindata. How can i get the this to transfer the data to the maindata table???
I am trying to create an automatic unique 'number' (actually text) in a form. Here is an example of the format...
1456.R1 1456 is the project number R stands for revision 1 is the first revision
So, in this database there could be 1456.R2 etc. but there could also be other project numbers, say 2323.R1, 2323. Looking for expression I need to enter to have Access look up the last revision for a specific project and then add 1 to it?
I want Access to automatically generate a reference number for a record based on the values in on two other fields for a given record using a form.
The first field is called Operation Number.
The second is Bag Number.
The reference number needs to be in this format: 19C.3.1
Where 19C is the Operation Number, 3 is the bag number, and 1 is automatically generated. Additionally I need the last number --the automatically generated one--to go back to 1 if with each new bag number.
This is kind of like library catalog numbers. Not sure how to do this.
I have a form with a combobox where I select the Carrier witch then populates a multiselect listbox with all the record from that carrier in the specified date. When I select them and click save I want all the record ID(ConID) saved under the same ID(manifest ID) ie,
1 223 1 225 2 344 2 4444 Ect
It saves it in a table called Manifest With the fields Manifest ID and CONID which is a lookup field to a different table. Here is my current code for the on click command
Code: Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set db = CurrentDb() Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Manifest", dbOpenDynaset)
[Code] ....
Now I've done some searching and I thin dmax is what I want to use.. But I am not sure how to make it work...
What I want to do is create a new field that automatically populates based on what is entered into the above fields.
Essentially creating a single field with unique data generated by multiple fields.
For Example if I entered the following informaiton: EmployeeID: 1 (AutoNumber) FirstName: John MInitial: P LastName: Doe Company: FederalGov Department:Test
The new field can be generated as followed: JohnPDoeFederalgovTest
What i plan on doing with this is making this "generated" field an index so no new duplicated records can be added.
So I have this field in a form/table called "CustomerID". This is to be an ID number for our customers that includes the first four letters of their last name (LastName field) followed by four digits.
This ID is created when a button is pressed in the form. After that, code needs to grab the first four letters of the last name (LastName field in the form and table) and then go to the Contacts table and see if there is already a CustomerID that starts with those four letters. If there is not, then the CustomerID will be those four letters followed by "0001". If there is, it needs to be those four letter followed by the next number sequence that still does not exist for those four letters.
For example: First four letters of last name = zabo Check to see if those four letters exist in CustomerID returns negative then CustomerID assigned = zabo0001
Another example: First four letters of last name = zabo Check to see if those four letters exist in CustomerID returns zabo0001 and zabo002 then CustomerID assigned = zabo0003
I am setting up a basic Data Licence database. For each new record I enter I want a unique number to appear at the top of my form that can not be changed. I would like the number to be the date it is entered plus the auto number so, YYMMDD-(auto number) eg 071001-1. I'm sure it's something simple but I am only new to access.
Also while I'm here, on my form I have a Product field, how can I make it so I can enter in more then one product?
How i would best combine values in a table to produce a 'primary key id number.'
For example: the first letter of a city in the ID and the next number available/auto number - Portsmouth -> P233
I know i can create this in a query however i want it as the unique ID for that record entry in a table. If that doesn't make sense i can try to elaborate some more.
if I got a 4 x 4 matrix table - 4 rows and 4 columns - MS Access 2007/2010 the values should exist as below with no repetition of any number in any of the cells.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
a number should not repeat in any of the cells.I set a primary key on cloumn 1 and defined unique on all the fileds but that doesn't work since 1 columns does not know what the other cell contains and no relationship exists.
Ok, Bacically I have 2 different lists (well there will be 7 in total): tblValves ValveID KKS_no Description List - specifies thats its in the valves list TOP_Code
tblSpools (pipe sections) SpoolID SpoolTagNo Description List - specifies thats its in the spools list TOP_Code
The reason that I have kept these two in different tables rather than combining them is because the spools table will relate to a few tables that will have nothing to do with valves. For instance the spools table will relate to a table called tblPipeSupports.
The thing is this: I would like if there was a unique number across both tables. Collectively the items in coth tables are called components. Some of the components from either table will have drawing numbers for instance so I would like if I could have a table: tblDrawings DrawingID DrawingTitle ComponentID (FK to valveID or spoolID)
However this won't work because valveID or SpoolID could have the same numbers. I could use a composit key like SpoolID + List but I think I'm probally making it more complicated than necessary. Also I'll have several tables like the drawing table e.g. some of the components will belong in the testPack table... And I'l have to repeat that List field in each..
I have created a linked Excel table in Access 2010 called 'tblExcelLinked' and I have a form called 'ASB Log Form' for the purposes of presenting the data in a more readable manner that is easier to view, plus link other fields of data that are not directly related to the 'tblExcelLinked'.
Because there is no unique ID in the 'tblExcelLinked' to create a relationship, I have created a table called 'tblASB', which allows me to add other table data linked from same d/b.
I now want to update the 'tblASB' with data from the 'tblExcelLinked', but only append new records from 'tblExcelLinked', but my inadequate append query is duplicating the records each time I run it, rather than just adding the new ones.
Once sorted my next challenge is a macro so that this runs automatically rather than being manually triggered.
I have a table - (Table A) that has 2 fields X and Y. I would like to write a query or script to make two new tables based on the unique values found in field X. In other words, all data where field X = 1 would be written to a new table called "1" and all data wehre field X =2 would be written to a new table called "2".I would like this done automatically.
Table A Field X Field Y 1 a 1 b 1 c 1 d 2 a 2 b 2 c
I am selling some products, namely A to M. I record the orders of costumers in a table, named "orders". For example, if costumer "Jack" has ordered as the following:
Code: ID costumer product quantity unitprice orderdate
12 jack A 4 10 25/11/2014 13 jack B 5 5 25/11/2014 14 jack C 1 4 25/11/2014 15 jack F 3 2 25/11/2014 16 Jack G 4 8 25/11/2014 17 Jack H 1 7 25/11/2014
Then I make a report based on the above table and issue that as the invoice to the costumer, who is jack here.
How can I make a unique invoice number, which automatically increases sequentially for each invoice? Do I need to add a new column to the table? I also need to be able to look for a specific invoice based on the number, or date.
What I have is a small POS system I'm trying to create a unique invoice number for each transaction (multiple records)
I have two tables, one named "CurrentTransactions" and one named "Past Transactions".
I have everything working except the invoice number my system works by adding pre defined records into the table "CurrentTransactions" and once the sale has been finalised it transfers the data to the "PastTransactions" table.
take the last number from the "PastTransactions"."InvoiceNumber" to create an invoice number in the "CurrentTransactions", and I want to be able to do it using an expression in the default value property as opposed to in the form ( I've tried the form way but using Dmax would require me to almost rebuild my entire POS system )
Currently I have an Access form which produces a new unique number to identify each new record created. To do this I use the unique ID autonumber from a table to identify the new records. I would like to change from this simple number to the the above format per example 1. The four digits to the left of the hyphen would always be the current year and digits to the right of the hyphen would be the unique auto incrementing numbers such as from my table. I need the year to auto increment by 1 each September 30th (new business year) and I need the numbers to the right to auto reset to 1 to start uniquely identifying records again for the new incremented year. As each record is closed I need the number to be written as a single entity in the new format to my database.
Need to generate a unique reference number each record wise while data entering by a form. How to do this by using a command button ? After entering all fields related to the record, when click on the command button, unique reference number for that record need to be generated and save with all other data of the records. in a later event, need to recall the record by using this reference number and also need to make relation ship with some other table by using the reference number.
I have a set of transactions with a Unique ID field and a date. I want to add a field based that gives me the sequence of events for each Unique ID in order of when it happened.
For example, if customer X has 6 transactions, the sequence field would have a number (1-6) in each record that corresponds to the order in which those transactions occurred. The first transaction would have the number 1, the second would have the number 2 and so on.
Code: ' count records in query Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim db As Database Dim strSQL As String Dim beginDatum As String Dim eindDatum As String Set db = CurrentDb
Basically what I have is a database for tracking/logging parcels that arrive to the office. I want to be able to generate a reference number based on the date of arrival: i.e. the reference number should be ddmmyy### where ### is a sequential number. I know that I could just use the primary key's autonumber, for the sequential number but if I do this then the sequence will not restart at 1 on each date and because we receive a lot of parcels the reference number will grow to be too big to print out on the collection slips in just a few months.
two tables (one with the date and staff on duty that day and the other with the parcel's info') with a one to many relationship
I also have a query (Named: FullLog) that picks up the following data from the tables:
The field named Count is a DCount function that I used to find out the number of times each date is repeated. This is the Expression that I used:
Count: DCount("*","FullLog","DateReceived = " & [DateReceived]) [Note that DateReceived is first converted into a string using CStr()]
This is as far as I have been able to get, I have been looking for weeks for a solution to this problem but I have yet to find one. I don't even know if the DCount function is the correct way of doing it, I did read somewhere that this produces a very slow query.
Effectively what I want to be able to get is something of that resembles the following
I have a rental database and I print several contacts for leases etc. what I want to do is have a unique reference number or something inserted to the report every time that it's printed. What I am trying to achieve is to keep track of which tenant corresponds to the report (Lease) printed by using reference number.
There is a seperate form which holds the tenants details and I would like to have a field on that form which would show the same reference number as the report so I can track which report was printed for who.
I'm creating a database using existing data from an excel file full of contact details. What I need to add is a queue type system where each contact in the database has a "Place in Queue" number which is unique obviously.
Lets say Alan is number 1, Bob is 2 and Chris is 3. They have these corresponding numbers in the queue field for their entries.
Now what I need to have, through use of a form, is a way of changing Chris from number 3 in the queue to number 1 and thus have Alan automatically shift down to number 2 and Bob to 3.
I have the following dataset in a table called NR_PVO_120. How do i pick out a number (which can change but let's say, 6) of UNIQUE OtherIDs without excluding any OtherIDs under any fax numbers?
So, if you pick OtherID from Row7 you then also must pick OtherIDs from rows 8 and 9 because they have the same fax number. Basically, once you pick an OtherID you're then obligated to pick all OtherIDs that have the same fax number as the one you picked.
If the number requested (6 for this example) isn't possible then "the closest number possible but not exceeding" would be the rule.
For example, if you take OtherIDs from rows 1-10 you will get 6 unique OtherIDs but row 10 shares a fax with rows 11 and 12. You either need to take all 3 (but that will raise the unique count to 8, which isn't acceptable) or skip this OtherID and find one with a fax that has no other OtherIDs and that isn't on the result set already. My result of 6 UNIQUE OtherIDs will need to contain ALL OtherIDs under any fax the existing OtherIDs are connected to.
So one solution is to take rows 1-6, 26. Another is to take rows 1-4,10-14.
There will be many possibilities (the real dataset has tens of thousands of rows and the number of people requested will be around 10K), as long all OtherIDs connected to all faxes on the result set are part of the requested number (6 in this case) any combination would do.
A few notes.
1.Getting as close as possible to the requested number is a requirement.
2.Some OtherIDs will have a blank fax, they should only be included as a last resort (not enough OtherIDs for the requested number).
This is for a fax campaign, we need to make sure no fax number is faxed twice, that all people connected to that fax number are contacted under one fax sent.
