Assign Autonumber & Form Copy
Feb 8, 2006
I don't know if this is possible or not. I know you can assign your own autonumber by working w/ an append query. But my question is, if I have a number that is 1.0 - can I change the 10th spot after the decimal? I tried it myself w/ the append query but it changes the 1 to a 2.0. Is there a way to do that?
My next question is - I know there is a copyobject. I want to be able to click on a button, & it copies a form. BUT, you have to enter either a destination for the form or a new name for the form. But the problem is, I want to keep the current destination and the form name will change each time there is a new form created. Is there a way to have something pop up for me to rename the form?
Thanks in advanced.

Auto number will not work for what I want to do. I am creating a simple database that will assign the user with the next incremental number in a field. The intent of the database is for the user to enter three text fields and then obtain the number. I believe that Dmax would work but do not know how to make populate the table.

I need to make changes to a table already containing data. Currently the autonumber field is simply there as a primary key, but I now wish to use it for another number field (Accession No) which was previously completed manually.
As this doesn't seem possible or practical (as I need the flexibility to overwrite the number sometimes), I just want the autonumber to also appear in the Accesion No field when a new record is added (but be manually overwriteable).
I've had a play with default values and lookups, but with no success, and haven't found anything on the forum. Where am I going wrong, or is this just not possible?
Thanks for your help.
Alison.

SQL does not copy the field (autonumber) of table1 to another field (number longue) of table2. Is this normal and is there a way around it? Here is the code:
Code:
"INSERT INTO TransUPDSHTbl SELECT TranSHTbl.MemID, TransSHTbl.FirstName, " & _
" TransSHTbl.LastName, " & _
" TransSHTbl.Language, TransSHTbl.Email, TransSHTbl.Federation " & _
" FROM TransSHTbl " & _
" INNER JOIN MembersTbl ON ((TransSHTbl.LastName = MembersTbl.NOM) AND " & _
" (TransSHTbl.FirstName = MembersTbl.PRENOM)) ORDER BY MembersTbl.MemID;"
Above table1 = TransSHTbl, table2 =TranshSHUPDTbl, Field1 = MemID, Field2=MemID

I have set a "form-wide" variable on a certain form to contain integers. I want to populate this variable from a subform located on this form.
So, for example, if the form has an integer for CompanyID, I want to populate this variable from the subform so that when I am back on the main form I can use this variable with the populated variable. What is the syntax for this?

Hi there,
Can someone help me on this issue?
I want to copy Postal Address Information to Visit Address Information wthin the same record, in my Contact Database that I am building at the moment.
I want to copy 4 fields to 4 other fields within the same Record.
This the current code I use for the Copy-button:
---
Private Sub cmdCopyFields_Click()
Dim v1 As Variant
Dim v2 As Variant
Dim v3 As Variant
Dim v4 As Variant
v1 = Me!Field_a.Value
v2 = Me!Field_b.Value
v3 = Me!Field_c.Value
v4 = Me!Field_d.Value
RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
Me!Field_e = v1
Me!Field_f = v2
Me!Field_g = v3
Me!Field_h = v4
End Sub
---
The underlined part (acCmdRecordsGoToNew) is false part of this code, because it copies the Adress Info to a new record, instead of copying it in the same.
-Is there someone that can help me with this problem, to make the copy-button in the Form run properly?
-Are there other options to achieve te same?
I have put in a attachment, to give you guys a visual example of what I mean.
Thanks in advance,
Quinten

Is it possible to assign a query to the recordsource of a form dynamically? I assume the answer is yes. Can this action be done when the form is not open? If yes what is the correct syntax to use when the code is in a normal module as a public sub? I tried many possibilities and could not get it to work.
Code:
Dim ForNm as string
Dim Qry as string
ForNm = "PersonalFm"
Forms(ForNm).Recordsource = Qry
Forms![PersonalFm].Recordsource = Qry
[Forms]![PersonalFm].Form.Recordsource = Qry

I need to assign those appraisers to an order based on what county they cover. My main table (orders) is simple. Just an order number, order date, county and appraiser.I have a form with entry fields for all these except appraiser. I envision a "assign" button that will then pick the next appraiser in the county that was chosen. It's just a "round robin" type of thing, so the first order placed for Monroe would be assigned to ABC. The next order would be for Cecil and would assign 123. Next order for Monroe would assign DEF. I know there are many way this can be done but I've been looking at this for hours and I'm drawing a blank on the easiest way to do it.

I 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.

I am relatively new to Access and VB. I am trying to create a log-in system that assigns a security clearance to each user and then restricts access to certain forms and reports based on security clearance. Right now, I have set up the log-in system - that seems to work fine. But when I try to lock the form based on security clearance, I get the 2450 - Form Not Found - error.
The code I am using on the form is as follows:
Private Sub Form_Open (Cancel As Integer)
If Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) <> 1 Then
MsgBox "You do not have access to this form", vbOkOnly
DoCmd.Close acForm, "formname"
EndIf
End Sub

I have a table that stores orders in. There is a form to input data into this table, that I choose the products from a products table (using a subform) for the order. Once I submit the form, it submits several rows according to how many products I chose (a row for each product and the order) to the orders table.
The orders table has a autonumber primary key ID, so each of these rows has a different ID number.
I also want a column to store an order number (field: OrderNo) that is the same for each row (each product) for this order in question and not be different, allowing me to do a query for that order number and see all the products under it.
So I need the form to lookup the last highest order number from the OrderNo field, add +1 then when I add a product, it gives the SAME number to each one.
I hope this makes sense and I hope you can explain to how I do this? :)
Thanks,
Nick.

I have a form, its based on a query. That query contains an Autonumber(intID) from a Table(customers). I also have another table(dealers), that uses the ID number as well. Next to the dealer info, I can click the "+" and it'll show all customers pertaining to that dealer.
I've seen some that have had different ID numbers. In the form, one has the ID of 222...while in the Dealer Table it has the ID of 227.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Also...I have a subform where you can add a dealer to this Dealer Table if it does not exist in the combo box. Here's the code:
If MsgBox("Add New Dealer Number?", vbYesNo, "Warning") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "DealerContact", acNormal, , , acFormAdd, acDialog, NewData
Response = acDataErrAdded
End If
Thanks for the help.

I really hope I can explain this right :o
When a customer makes a purchase I INSERT the transaction into the 'transactions' table, which I have no problems with. My problem stems from that I can't seem to get the 'OrderNumber' back from the 'transaction' table (OrderNumber is an AutoNumber by the way).
I have tried the following code -
TempOrder = DLookup("OrderNumber", "transactions", "customerID = '" & Forms![frmOrder]!TempID & "'")
"Forms![frmOrder]!TempID" is the value I use from another form (to see who the customer is). I want "TempOrder" to be the OrderNumber that is created in the transactions table.

So i have a form with 3 fields. (This is just a test form/table):
ID: autonumber
Fullname: text field
Last4: number field
I have the following code:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "test", , , "Id = '" & Me.List14 & "'"
It keeps giving a mismatch error. How do i get it so I can use the autonumber to filter the form?
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "test", , , "Fullname = '" & Me.List14 & "'"
When I do this it works just fine.

If I have a form based on 1 table and want to create an almost identical form based on the same table, how do I do it?
I need to delete only 5 fields from 1st form and then add 5 different fields.
All fields for both forms would be in the same table upon which they are based.

I have built a database using Access 2010 using the 'web' format for the forms, reports and tables.
This has been fine so far as I have been using macros for my clickonevents.
However I now need some functionality not available in the web forms macro expression builder. Namely Openquery, (it is not on the available list). I therefore want to copy my forms formatting and properties to a normal non-web form allowing me to enter vba code.
Is there no way of doing this though - will I have to redesign the form again from scratch?

Hello,
My first post is on something that is troubling me. I have a Form acting as the display and entry point for data for a contact list, which is composed of two Tables as follows:
Contact - (text fields including: first name, last name, phone number home, phone number work, etc)
Industry Role - (yes/no tick boxes including: film, photographer, audio engineer, producer, reporter, etc)
The two Tables have a one to one relationship based on the URN field which is an autonumber. My problem is that when someone enters say a name, and then ticks a box, the autonumber will add two entries because it seems to see the first table then the second tables as sequential, and not the same thing. How do i go about making a form that can enter new records the same autonumber for two connected Tables?

I am working on school project. I created priority table that has primary key (ID number) and other data, and three tables(also with data) that are linked to this table, with ID number of priority table and primary keys of other tables (relations many-to-many, I formed tables between them).
Problem: - my solution is created so that I can fill all neccessary data of ALL tables in ONE FORM. But ofcourse Access wants you to enter at least one field in primary table for opening new record, so that It links you to all other tables (in my case with ID number) - then It is possible to enter data of all other tables in whatever tab order you like.
What I want to do is that my autonumber field from primary table would automatically open a new record number when opening the form, without entering any data to primary table. Is that even possible ?
So far I tried to add another field in my primary table (Date/time format) and set the date to =Now(), and used macro of Refresh on form, but nothing happens. Date is shown in field, but Autonumber doesn't generate new number of record. maybe I did it wrong...
Any option to lock Tab order and force user to fullfill data only in desiring order ? I want to make solution more user friendly
I'm using Access 2003...

How do I go about copying data from a main form to the sub form?
I have a Soldto form with a Shipto subform.
When the two are the same I'd like to have a button to copy the data from the Soldto form to the subform.
I've tried some examples posted on this forum but, don't seem to cover a sub form.
Also, I have very limited coding experience, so please be gentle.
Thanks for any/all help you can give.

In the database I am developing, users have to be able to copy a table, no data, structure only. The source table is always the same one. Users have to be able to specify the name of the new table.
I would like to have them do this on a form, easy of use is important. Any ideas on this? Thanks. Trucktime

Hello friends!
I have read some of the posted threads. But I still couldn’t understand on how to solve my problem.
The scenario
I have 2 forms which linked to 2 different tables with the same attributes.
Example:
Form 1 links to table 1.Collumns (index,name,address)
Form 2 links to table 2. Columns (index,name,address)
The problem
How do I replicate the same data from Form 1 to Form 2 with Single button / command?
The Objective
What I’m trying to do is to create an auto fill function so that user do not have to type in the data into form 2 / table 2 by referring to form 1 / table 1.
Hope you guys could help me with this.

I know how to print out a copy of a form that has no sub-forms as part of it. For those of you trying to do this, open the objects menu and click on Forms. Right click on the form you wish to print and save as a report. Open the reports menu and print the form. Suggest you eliminate colors or your ink supply will run out quickly.
Anyway, I am looking at trying to print the form with the sub-form showing as part of it. It is only for presentation purposes to show the End Users what the form will look like and ensure that all requirements are met. I could do a print screen but that only works if the form is smaller than the screen.
Any suggestions??
Thanks,
Alan
