Controlling Autonumber Field - Start Autonumber From 1 Everyday (Composite Key)
Nov 21, 2013I have two tables linked to each other in one to many relationship. Instead of auto number, the date and shift (Text) is being used as the primary keys (Composite Primary Key). Here is the tables structures,
Payouts Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night) : Primary Key
Bills Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night): Primary Key
Autonumber: Primary Key
The tables Payouts and Bills has one to many relationship. One payout row can have many bills. The problem is that I want to start the Autonumber in bills table everyday from 1. As date and shift are different for every day so even if i start bills from 1 everyday, it wont make same primary key. I can do it manually but I want to make it automatically.

Aug 2, 2005How can I add an additional field to a table based on the output of a query? For example, I have table A with 2 types of records and table B with only 1 type of record. Based on this, I can determine which records in table A are the same type as those in table B.

Alter Text Colour Depending On Value
May 24, 2006Hi,
I am building a stock control database. I have a form called [products]. On this form are two fields. One called [ProdReorder], the other [UnitsOnHand].
[UnitsOnHand] is displayed form a subform called [ProductsSubform].
What I want to know is: What code would I enter (& where) so if the [UnitsOnHand] value is less than the [ProdReorder] value it will display the value in red?
Eg: Reorder value is 5
I have 10 motors on stock (UnitsOnHand) = Text is black.
If I have 4 motors on stock = Text is Red.
How can this be done? any advice welcome. PS. my vba skills are weak.

ALTER TABLE And SEPARATE DATA SQL STATEMENTS
Jun 7, 2005Helo…please really need your help.
I designed a small desktop database to automatically import some Log files. A sample of a transmit log file (emails sent from our rural email stations) looks like this when imported in access.
Date Time Direction SenderMessageID
03062005 133501To InternetemailX@ab.comBlablabla
03062005 125001To InternetemailQ@ab.comBlablabla
03062005 125001To InternetemailZ@ab.comBlablabla
03062005 125001To InternetemailA@ab.comBlablabla
I would like to be able to query all emails sent between one date and another. However, the date here is recorded has a string or text. I would like to automatically add a field with the date as Date/Time datatype in the Table. I think I should be able to do this with a few SQL statement like ALTER TABLE myTable ADD COLUMN NewDate AS datetime…and then another SQL statement to separate data and put it into this new field.
Then I could query for BETWEEN Date1 and Date 2 easily.
I’m pretty close but been trying for a while now and always error messages as results. I think I really NEED help this time.
Thank you,

Modules & VBA :: How To Alter Tables In SQL Server From Access
Jul 7, 2015I have an access front-end package that works just fine but if there is an update, I just want the program to run scripts to update the SQL Server tables that it is connected to. I just don't know how to do this. I know how to do this on SQL Server Management studio and all, I just was hoping I could do it straight from my access front end so that a user could just click a button and update the tables or something.

Queries :: Alter Selection Criteria Of A Query From A Form
Nov 25, 2013I have a form that runs off a query that displays further details of a record in a datasheet when you double click on a row.
The query itself has criteria that looks at the open form and selects the correct record.
My question is can you change the results of the query either using vba or a built in feature of access without having to use a separate query.
The selection criteria in the query is:
Forms]![Main]![Ordering-Supplier]![Ordering-Order List].[Form]![suppOrderID]
Basically I want to override the resulting data with another record when I run an event on the form.
Queries :: Alter Table With Auto-increment Field?
Mar 10, 2015I am attempting to update an oracle table using MS Access.
One of the fields to be updated is a primary key number field.
I'd like to use the autoincrement field to update that field.
My sql is:
Code:
Alter table testAutoNum Add column progid autoincrement (1001,2)
This sql nicely creates the new field in the table, but it doesn't start at 1001 and increment by 2; it starts and 1 and increments by 1.It is also creating an autonumber and I need it to be a number.
What am I doing wrong?

Forms :: Access 2010 - Form Shows Similar Match In 1 Table - Alter Another Table?
Dec 16, 2014I have two tables (Access 2010). One with a list of names (List1) and another with a very similar list of names (List2), but they differ in very small ways. For example, List1 might have John Smith, and List2 would have Smith, John L.; and Smith, John. List2 also has a unique ID associated with these names that I need to append to List1.
I need to design a form that will allow me to look up names in List1, and have it return all names that are similar in List2. I then need to be able to choose with record in List2 matches with the List1 entry (based on a few other columns in List2, such as birth date) and have the form add that unique ID to the List1 record.
PS: I am using Access 2010
Modules & VBA :: Programmatically Alter Detail Of Report Then Use That Report As Subreport
Jun 26, 2013I have a report which programmatically sets the value of some labels based on its own internal logic for each line of the detail section of a report. This all works fine and dandy, using the Detail_format event, and accessing detail.controls.item(x).caption.
HOWEVER, when I then embed the report as a subreport (which I need to do), I goes wrong. Here, I get the values of the last row of the detail repeated in every previous one. I'm suspecting because the parent report has its own 'detail' (I've tried giving the subreport its own distinct detail name).

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoNumber
Apr 20, 2006Hello,
I have a question. I would like to be able to have an autonumber in the main form be applied to text boxes on the subform. So If I enter a name in the main form, an autonumber is generated, then that number is automatically entered into the boxes in my subform. My subform is a datasheet view with many records. I want all the records to have the autonumber generated in the main form. Is there a way to do this. Currently I have the boxes in the subform retrieve the autonumber by setting it equal to the autonumber text box on the main form. I would think that there would be an easier way to accomplish this seemingly simple task.
Thanks,
Adam
