I am trying to come up with automatic line numbers for each specific order. So for example, I have job number 123456 that has ordered 3 items, what I would like is that item 1 has a field with a 1 in it automatically, and item 2 has a 2 in the field and so on. But the trick is that when order 123457 gets entered and has 5 items entered, I would like it to start over at 1 and go to 5. Does this make sense? Is it possible to do this in a table? Or can this happen on the form? That I assign a value to a field. I am using Access 2010, have been for a few years now, but I have lots to learn.
I would like to expand on this questions. I would like to generate a number based on a reference I use, a format like "14/000" where I use "14" with the last 2 digits of the year. However i want the auto number to generate the the last 2 digit automatically when the year changes i.e. when 2015 comes the field generates "15/000" without any prompt from the user.
I have a table, at the table I'v got these fields:
ID | num1 | num2 | sum
I want that the user put numbers at 'num1' and 'num2' fields and then the 'sum' field will calculate automatically the operator (sum=num1+num2).
I've tried to put any combination at 'Default value' of the sum field (all the fields are numbers , also tried to change the sum field to text...nothing works).
I'm getting a message that 'num1' field is not recognize at the table
(I tried =[num1]+[num2], without the '=', num1.table+num2.table , ...nothing works)
I also tried to do it with SQL command but it dosn't work.
There is any way to do it, is it possible? Or other way to do it at least at Form or at Report ?
I have a column containing an id that consists of the first two letters of a weekday followed by an incrementing number. For example, for Monday, I have "MoA1" "MoA2" "MoA3" ... "MoA11".
The problem is that when I sort my list, it is ordering it: "MoA1" "MoA10" "MoA11" "MoA2" "MoA3" etc. Currently, my order by property is set to
I have used priamry keys in my tables and these are set to auto numbers on the advise of fellow forumites.
One question if at the end of every year I need to upload batches of data to my tables, this would mean I would need to go through each record and manually enter the foreign keys in the linked table.
Surely Access has a better way of dealing with this issue?
I have a field for SSN. If the SSN has a 0 or 00 as the first numbers it auto deletes those numbers. Is there a way in access that when the record is visible the 0's are relpaced so that the SSN will read the 9 digit. Also i have another fiels EIN with 7 digits an i need for there to be 2 9's in the beginning. I was goingto use vba but when i go to yp it i only get .value <
Code: Me.SSN.Value
Value is tho only option to get. IDK y it does this or how to get it to shop if there is a ay.
Ineed to track Trailer security seals that are sequentially numbered with 8 digit numbers...They are physical seals and no efile with the numbers to upload into Access...is there a way I can put in a range and Access will populate the rest in a table?
I have an Access DB with a VB 6.0 front-end. I have a table with a PK that uses an auto-number. I deleted from data from this table in the past, then re-added it back in again just now. However, now when I go to enter a record in this table from the VB executable, I am getting an error for duplicate keys--as the auto-number tries to use a number that already exists. This happens when I just enter a record directly in the table in the DB also.
Why does access automatically rearrange column order in a query after closing and reopening? Is there a way to stop it? It doesn't affect the usefulness of my query but I set the columns up in a specific order and I'd like them to stay that way. This is an update query. I see that it is grouping them by name. Anyway to stop that without giving each field a unique name? Screenshots attached.
I have a very basic application to manage the tasks. In the main form "Tasks" one of the field is the priority (Order by) and I have this example:
Task Priority
B 1 A 2 C 3 E 4 D 5
If the user change one priority, I need a code to automatically change the others too respecting the new priority order. For example if the user change the priority 3 to 1 for the task C, the other numbers have to change to become:
I have inherited an Access DB that is supposed to be kept "alive" but not made much better. On a weekly basis I get an Excel CSV that I'm supposed to import into one massive table; that works just fine.
However, there is another query that takes values from a table named "New Users From Import Table" and appends them to the current "User" table.
But before running that query I have to manually update a field called "Display Name ID" with the next highest number from the User table but only the highest value that isn't in the 9000 number range.
For example, my next highest "Display Name ID" is 1144, which of course does not include the records that range between 9000 - 9008.
I had to manually enter 89 "Display Name ID" values yesterday and I know there has to be a way to update that field when I pull the data over from the temp table without having to do it all manually.
Here's the query that pulls the data into the "User" table (after I've manually entered the incremented values).
INSERT INTO Users ( [Display Name ID], [User Type], Organization, [Display Name], [Alias Name] ) SELECT [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name ID], [New Users From Import Table].[User Type], [New Users From Import Table].Organization, [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name], [New Users From Import Table].[Alias Name] FROM [New Users From Import Table];
how to auto increment one field based on the value in another field. What I have is a table with six fields. There is a foreign key assigned to each record and linked to another table. Four fields in this table are number fields indicating accordingly a number for a category, a number for a subcategory, a number for a subject for a subcategory and a number for an instruction for each subject of subcategory. The last field is the text field for each instruction. Numbers are required to be included in the report. Also, number of categories, subcategories, subjects and instructions vary by each record in the the table which this table is linked to. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have numbers in the subcategory to auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the category field, numbers for each subject field would auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the subcategory field, and numbers in the instructions field to auto increment for each number in the subject field starting, again, with "1". I also need these numbers to restart with "1" for each new record in another table.
(if the record in another table is a new/next table)and so forth..I have been looking for anything that could remotely work for me. Every VBA code I've tried is either don't work the way I need it to work, other codes making the field to continue increment numbers if the number already exists in the other field.
I am trying to create an auto-sequential order number
Example : AB000112 - AB is standard prefix, ''0001'' is the first invoice number, ''12'' is the year 2012.
so the next order number should read AB000212 and the next AB000312
Out of this, I have to issue several debit notes relating to the same order number when the payments are due from customers over a period of time, this will be
Ok so here is my problem: I have a form that is realted to four differnt tables with the names: CUSTOMER, ORDER, PRODUCT AND ORDER LINE. With-in the table Order-Line there is a entity called, line_item_cost whcih is the total amount of the order with respect to Quanity_Ordered which comes from the ORDER LINE table and Price which comes from the PRODUCT table and Discount (%) which comes from the CUSTOMER table. When the users goes to change the Quantity_Ordered I need the form to automaticly update the line_item_cost which would calculate [Price]*[Quantity_Ordred]-[Price]*[Discount] . I tried to build a code in VBA to do this, Here is the Code: Dim a, b, c, d a = Me.[Quantity_Ordered] b = Me.[Price] c = Me.[Discount] d = a * b - b* c Me.[Line_Item_Cost] = d
VBA Complies the program but it does not show up in my form. I think I might be updating it at the wrong point. Any Suggestions.????
I need to make an order purchase form like i have customer table and product table, i want to make a form which creates order for a specific customer and I can add as much items as i want and than calculate auto the total price, and an option to make a report for it.
I wanted to auto populate an invoice record with same values as previously ordered by that same customer. I don't want to use default values as every customer orders different things.
BUT almost all customers make REPEAT orders of exactly the same things they ordered previously.
So...for example, can I search the invoice records by customer ID/Name and copy all the data from their previous into a new invoice record. I guess I could do this with an append query?
But will an append query run when I just click on 'new record' in the invoice form? Maybe there is a property '.on new record'...open append query....?
I have the auto ID number set up set up on my Access database which gives me membership numbers. How do I have a supplementary auto numbering column to give me invoice numbers. You used to be able to do this automatically up until a few years ago. Now I have to enter them manually.
I am doing a project where we are collecting home owner data and information on all the dogs in the household. The data for homeowner has an autonumber primary key because no field is unique or has been consistently collected. I am struggling to link the data for the dogs to the owners because an autonumber primary key will not work since not all homes have dogs. I need to have this set up so that people who are not tech savvy can look up each homeowner (or dog) and get the dog (or home owner) information. And to make things even more fun we need up to 15 potential dogs per household each of whom will have 18 different pieces of data collected.
It looks a little like this (and you can see my not matching ID issue):
Homeowner table ID First Name Last Name...........Total Dogs 1 Max Maximus 5 2 Min Minimus 0 3 Mus Musculus 1
Dogs 1-5 table ID Date Dog 1 Name Dog 2 Name .......Dog 5 Name 1 (Max's) 4/11/14 Bobby Billy Betty 2 (Mus's) 4/11/14 Jojo
Min will have no dog records at all, just home information.how to link the dog's to the homeowners .
I know this is an Access 101 question, but what is the best way to view text rather than numbers in my tables. In an example which I have attached, an Orders table shows the Customer field as a number. I would like to view the actual customer name when I am looking at the table.
I have two tables in the database I'm working on from Excel.
Table1 has demographic information for faculty, to which I added an AutoNumber Primary Key.
Table2 has the courses those faculty members taught, but it does not have the FacultyID I added to Table1; it has their last name, first name.
Is there a way I can have Access look up the employee's FacultyID from Table1 based upon their last name and first name, which are contained in both tables?
If I use order by on a query that has two linked tables I keep getting an error: This is the query SELECT d.PDetailsID, d.po_id, d.po_uniqid, d.job_id, d.p_qnty, d.p_desc, d.p_unitp, d.p_units, d.p_extend, d.p_qos, d.p_grec, d.p_done, d.cocreq, d.est_id, d.line, d.class, d.selected, d.itemid, d.category, d.GroupID, d.p_qosextended, d.late, d.lastsavedby, d.matid, d.customer, SQLACCESS.tblctpur_d.jobid, d.DTime, d.Notes, d.DescDetails, h.pur_ddue FROM SQLACCESS.tblctpur_h as h INNER JOIN SQLACCESS.tblctpur_d as d ON h.pur_id = d.po_id ORDER BY d.line
The error is : The colum prefix d does not match with a table or alias used in the query
