can I create primary key with macros automatically.
I have created table with Query and I need primary key in this table. I put new field for primary key but after restarting it was delete every time.
I want to create either a Macro or VBA that will automatically create a report or a query.

I've compiled a make table query and would really be happy if I could automatically assign a primary key to one of the fields i.e account ref.
Any ideas, suggestions gratefully appreciated

I'm pretty new to access and I've been working on a pretty complex project...
Anyways, my first problem I'm having is that I want Microsoft Access to automatically create a key number. This number depends only on the year, and then it would concatonate another number.
Example: 5-3000, then 5-3001, 5-3002... The five corresponds to the year, and the other part is just incrementing by one for each new record.
What would be the best way to do this? I don't necessarily need the dash in there, it could simply read 53000, 53001, 53002, etc.
Thanks for the help!
Hi guys
I am trying despereatly to fulfill this function with a macro

The following codes dont work :(
ALTER TABLE tblbasketball

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a rather interesting situation involving creating a primary key. Basically I have two tables.
Table 1
Date, Customer, Part Number, Work Order, Qty tested, qty failed, tech name
Table 2
Defect, reference, quantity(defect), defect cause, part number, work order
The ideal relationship I want to create is that for every Table 1 there are multiple table 2. Regular one to many relationship. The problem is that in the first table it is possible and probable that there will be duplicate records because of the process. The test parts by individual carts, but often they're exactly the same parts with same work orders and same everything else. How should I go about doing this. I don't want to just create an autonumber for each record if possible. Any suggestions?
I have two tables tblPatients (pkUMRN) and tblAdmissions (pkAdmissionID, fkUMRNAdmission). pkUMRN is not auto-number, but is an 8-digit alphanumeric code unique to each tblPatients record. I have set up a one-to-many relationship between tblPatients_pkUMRN and tblAdmissions_fkUMRNAdmissions (each patient can have multiple admissions).
Is it possible to allow the entry of a new tblAdmissions_fkUMRNAdmissions to create a new tblPatients_pkUMRN? IE can you create a new primary key from a new foreign key?
Along a similar line, if the primary key already exists, how would you autofill a form with data from tblPatients when the tblAdmissions_fkUMRNAdmissions is entered in to the table?
I have two Tables, Table A and Table B...Table A and B have a one to many relationship with A (one) and B (many).I have a Master form that displays information for Table A. Also, I have a subform within this Master that displays information for Table B.
As I scroll through the records of A, you can see the 1-many relationship elucidated in the subform with many being displayed for Table B.I run into a dilemma, though, when I try to ADD a new record to Table A (and in turn Table B).When I add a new record, there is no Primary Key left to be displayed since this primary key is generated from a query.Hence, when I move to a new record, I can not save the record because there is no primary key. Since there is no primary key, there is nothing that i can input into the subform either. I want to create the primary key from values entered in the field. However, i CAN NOT create a relationship with an expression for field values.
I have a problem and not sure what the best approach is.
Our study enrolls patients and then re-contacts them every month for 1 year. I want to create 12 new records in "Table2" based on the "baseline_date" and "StudyID" of each patient in "Table1". "Baseline_date" is the initial date the patient is enrolled in the study and "StudyID" is a number created based on information from the patient. Both are unique values. What I want to do, is after the "baseline_date" variable is updated with the date of enrollment on a form I want to trigger VB code to automatically create 12 records in "Table2". "Table2" would have the following variables: "StudyID", "Early_Date" and "Late_Date". The records would be created based on the following.
Record1{"StudyID", "Early_Date=(baseline_date+30)-3", "Late_date=baseline_date+30)+10;
Record2{"StudyID", "Early_Date=(baseline_date+60)-3", "Late_date=baseline_date+60)+10;
Record3{"StudyID", "Early_Date=(baseline_date+90)-3", "Late_date=baseline_date+90)+10;
Record4{"StudyID", "Early_Date=(baseline_date+120)-3", "Late_date=baseline_date+120)+10;
Record5{"StudyID", "Early_Date=(baseline_date+160)-3", "Late_date=baseline_date+160)+10
......
Record12{"StudyID", "Early_Date=(baseline_date+360)-3", "Late_date=baseline_date+360)+10
The -3, +10 gives us a two week window in which to contact the patient. "Table2" containing the newly created records will have a many to one relationship with "Table1".
Any help would be much appreciated.
This is a real mind bender.
I am running a2k. I am merging two databases. table1 is in the backend database. table2 is linked to the second database.
I run an append query to add table2 entries to table1. The append fails for 96 recs saying key violation. Turns out I can rerun the append if I drop the zip code field.
I then try to manually change the zip code and receive the duplicate values in index, primary key, or relationship.
I ran a compact & repair the databases, still no go. I can't edit the value of the zip code. I import the table to a new database. Still can't change the zip code. I drop MANY of the indexes. Even the index on the zip code field. Run compact&repair. still getting the index message. I even re-imported to a new db again. Still same error message.
I may start again by importing JUST these two tables to a new blank db and see if I get the same issues. I'll keep you posted...but maybe there is someone out there who has seen this error before.
fyi-if I enter a new record, the autonumber field correctly increments to the next available autonumber field. (I say this because of another thread on this matter w/ autonumber fields and bug in A2003)
In table 1 fields Factor, Aggregations, Stat, and Days Back are fields that make up a multi-field primary key [URL].
I want to create a relationship between that multi-field primary key and another table, call it table 2, and make it a one-to-one relationship.
How do I do this in MS Access 2013?
Is there a way to create a relationship so when a new record is entered into the main table it automatically creates a new row/record in the related table with just the foreign key entered?

View 14 Replies View RelatedIs there a way via code in a module to automatically create a snapshot of a report, save it in a specifed folder location in the code and save it as the current date as the file name when a button is clicked.
I'm looking on how to do this as I have many reports to create, move to an intranet folder and then name it to the current date. It will save me lots of time if this can be done automatically.
I am using MS Access 2000 and the folder location will be on my hard drive.

In my DB I'm tracking seed. I have a form that I enter in some info in and an ID number is created (based on that info). Then in a different form I track "events" that happen to that ID (drying, moved, bagged). Is it possible to have a button or something like that that after my ID is created from my frmHarvest to automatically generate an event in tblEvents that has the date the ID number and then have something like Harvested in the description field?
If possible can I get some hints on what to do?
Thanks,

Hello
there is a field in my form named "numphotos" and I write the number of photos than that folder contains.
I have a subform in that main form named "descriptions", here I describe, one for one, all photos of that folder.
Itsnīt a problem if the folder contains a few photos, but I have folders that have even 100 photos :confused: then I must to create 100 records in my subform :eek:
I would like than Access create those records automatically according to the number of photos that I indicate at the field numphotos.
My example in photo: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1141/1093088982_a084bff95f_o.jpg
I only would desire that Access create that many lines to me as I have written on "numphotos". I would write the rest of the information (photographer and description)
is it possible?
thanx!!

I have a database with over one hundred employees in. Attached to each employee is a relationship where they can do many activities. How can I automatically create one activity record per employee at the beginning of a day and give the date field in the many part of the relationship the current days date.
I assume you've got to create a recordset and do something along the line of - do until EOF docmd.acrecnew.
But haven't got a clue where to start.
Pease help,
Recall.
I have a form and it has a field as question. I also have a field as I'd in this form from the same table that is autonumber. I want that for each field the question will be created automatically in the table as below:
Is epm ( my Id field) is created
Is epm and is created are string
They should also include Id number of each row. So It would be like:
Is epm -1 implemented
Is epm-2 implemented
.
.
For each row
I have a table in access which captures a couple of bits of information. The database is for tenant management and payment records. This is what i am trying to achieve:
In one table I record payment information, when they paid, and how much they paid.
In the lease table I capture information such as first pay date, and the payment schedule, whether this be weekly, monthly, fortnightly etc.
I would like to create a table of sorts which has the next twelve months worth of payments dates. Then when i add a payment to my payment table it will match it up with the correct payment date. This will allow me to track arrears and missed payments.
I need to create a query that strings data horizontally that corresponds to the primary key.
Example of what I am looking for
Fields:
Part_No,
Mfg_No,
Mfg_Name
Query Columns: Part_No, Mfg_Info (Mfg_No: Mfg_Name)
Also if the part_no (primary key) has multiple values I need the data to string horizontally like this:
Part_No, Mfg_Info (Mfg_No1: Mfg_Name1),
Mfg_Info (Mfg_No2: Mfg_Name2).......
I am using an attendance management system with a DB in Access. Now I want to create APPLICATION_ID automatically by continuing number. For example, I have a table called "LEAVE_APPLICATION" and the structure is below:
EmpID Leave_Type_ID APPLICATION_ID
00360 2 1
00360 2 2
00360 14 3
00360 14 4
00360 8 5
01390 8 1
01390 8 2
01390 14 3
01390 14 4
Now I want to update the table by adding the below data
00360 2
00360 2
01390 14
01390 1
How can i create the APPLICATION_ID field auto generating while pasting additional data. It should be numbering continually from the last record (Grouping to be applied for EmpID)like below:
00360 2 6
00360 2 7
01390 14 5
01390 1 6
I want to create a database that keeps track of contributions of members of an association. Every member can voluntarily give a standing order to contribute a fixed amount every month. A member can as well decide to review his/her contribute.
how I can come up with a database that can automatically add the contribution of a member monthly without manual input since the stated contribution is known. So that I can run a report for individual member and the report can capture the every monthly contribution that has been added automatically and shows when ever a member changes his/her contribution amount.
I created two tables, let's refer to them as Cars (VW, BMW and Audi) and Colours (White, Black and Grey).
Is it possible to create another table based on these tables - i.e. in the new table the rows will be the Cars and the columns the Colours as such:
White
Black
Grey
VW
BMW
Audi
And should I enter another Car or Colour in one of the first mentioned tables, then I would like this "new" table to update automatically. For example, if I have a new Car (say, Merc), then I would like the "new" table to update to the following:
White
Black
Grey
VW
BMW
Audi
Merc
