is there anyway to have the database autogenerate a random 8 digit reference number for each record.. this of course must be unique..
maybe something like
7C7CYU99, or HJUHU889... im sure you get the picture.
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.

First off, I want to see if this is possible. It seeems like it should be but sometimes I dream bigger then things allow.
OK... I have a form made in Access. There is a text field that I would like to be able to do the following:
If the field is null, a number will be randomly generated betwen teh values of 1 and 1500.
If the field is not null (we entered a number between 1 and 1500), then that field would be set to that number.
The field CANNOT have the same number given (we will only have 1500 records and want them randomly generated a number unless otherwise specified).
Can this be done? I made my attempt but it keeps failing no matter how I try and fix and such. I guess this is what happend when you haven't used Visual Basic in about 4 years.
PLEASE HELP! Thanks In Advace,

I am using a API to generate a random / unique directory. This an API form a 32-bits environment.
I know that you can still use it when declaring it with PtrSafe
This is the code I am using:
Option Compare Database
Private Declare Function GetTempPath Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTempPathA" (ByVal nBufferLength As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long
Private Declare Function GetTempFileName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTempFileNameA" (ByVal lpszPath As String, ByVal lpPrefixString As String, ByVal wUnique As Long, ByVal lpTempFileName As String) As Long

Hi.
I have major report due within hours.
I need to add a field to existing table that will be a 9 digit number, non duoplicating or - to take an existing field of 9 digits and allow it's values to change to random or incremental, non-duplicate numbers of 9 digits. I already have an autonumber field I must keep.

How can I generate a random string to a text field from a button. I
Say I have a form..
On the form I have:
X1 Button (BTN-Generate-Password)
X1 Text Field (TF-Generated-Password)
How can I make it so when the button is clicked a random string will appear in the text box
HTML Code:
Private Sub BTN-Generate-Password_Click()
(What Do I put here?) (Will it populate the Text Field?)

I have made a database for a repair workshop, where you book in and book out repairs.
I am having a problem as we need to make a Dispatch Note daily with a list of all booked out repairs for that day and for that branch.
This is all working so far. However, we need to generate a reference number using AutoNumber (Wshop0001, Wshop0002, etc) and keep a record of this - how can this be done with keeping ONE reference number per day per branch?
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:
Name - Description - Size - TrackingInfo' - Staff - DateReceived - Count
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
DateReceived - ReferenceNo
051013 051013001
051013 051013002
051013 051013003
061013 061013001
061013 061013002
071013 071013001
071013 071013002
071013 071013003
071013 071013004
071013 071013005
081013 081013001
081013 081013002
091013 091013001
101013 101013001
I am working on a form and need it to be able to generate a random number to use as an invoice number. The only parameters i need it to meet is that it is at least 5 digits in length. I was hoping i could use a button to make the number generate in a separate box.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am working on a database and i have notice after making a form that when i enter a record using a form if i enter incomplete data on the form access automatically save that record and generate a id for that record.
For example I have a table that contain
StudentID,StdName,FatherName,DOB,Adress,Phone
And I have created a form for that table that also containing these fields.
Here I want to do that on the form I want a "Save" button , and the purpose of this button that when I click on this button then MS Access Save the record and then generate the ID for that record and if i close my form without pressing "SAVE" button access do not save that incomplete record.
I have two tables, one table Data has member(SUBSCRIBER_ID) data including service rep(UserName). Another table ServCoord has data including service rep and their manager. What I am trying to do is pull 5 random accounts per service rep. I can pull 5 random accounts, but not per service rep. I have currently 77 service reps. Is there any way I can pull 5 random accounts per service rep? Here is my starting point so far.
SELECT TOP 385 [Data].SUBSCRIBER_ID, Rnd(1) AS Expr1, [Data].UserName, Rnd(Len([UserName])) AS Expr2
FROM ServCoord INNER JOIN [Data] ON ServCoord.ServCoord = [Data].UserName
GROUP BY [Data].SUBSCRIBER_ID, Rnd(1), [Data].UserName, Rnd(Len([UserName])), [Data].SUBSCRIBER_ID, [Data].UserName
HAVING ((([Data].UserName)<>"NULL"))
ORDER BY [Data].UserName, [Data].SUBSCRIBER_ID;

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've been building a CRM in Access that allows for creating profiles for our accounts. When we add a new account, I'd like an Account ID to automatically generate and look like this: CRMXXXXX where the X's represent a random number. I originally wanted to set the field as autonumber to just count up, but unfortunately I need to append this value to another sales database we have; you can't store the text "CRM" with an autonumber in a table.
Right now, all I've done is place an equation in the default value of a textbox I have on my 'Add Account' form. I then made the control source of the text box the Account ID field. My equation is as follows:
="CRM" & CStr(Int(Rnd(Now())*10000))
This appears to work, as it generates a value in the correct format. However, I've realized that each time I open the CRM, the random numbers start over again and I run into issues of trying to create a new record with the same ID as a previously created record. I assume I need to incorporate some sort of timestamp to it in order to change it.
I have a database studentreview. with the name of the student, the location of the student the course and the status of the course. What I am trying to do is when a condition is meet the name of the course "Anatomy" is meet and the status "Done" is meet I want to auto-generate a new record with the same student name with the same town and the course will be "anatomy 2" and status "not done".

How to make a report generate on a per record basis?
Basically I need to produce a report of all logged calls for a particular customer and be able to print it out. but I am unsure of how to generate this on a per customer basis would it be a case of requesting the user to specify before running? and if so how would I go about that?
Hey guys-
Been trying to figure this out, but am stuck. Obviously I'm fairly new to Access...
I have a table of properties and the price those properties sold for. Each property is in a specific area of town. I want to take each record and display the Address, Area of town, Price it sold for, and then the AVERAGE PRICE of all the other properties that sold in that same, specific area (not all the other areas of town, but the same area that the property sold for). The result should be displayed as below-
-Address- -Area- -Sold Price- -Avg Sold Price in Area-
And then it will list every property in the database, each with the same calculation all in one grid/table/dataset.
I figured out how to write a query to average all the sold prices in each area- but I don't know how to display that in conjunction with each record. Can someone throw a hint at me here?
Thanks
Hi All!
I d'like to ask for your help in the following issue:
When I step the records on a form clicking on the arrows below I want refresh some field reacting on this event.
How can I refer to this event in Visual Basic? And how can I bind the VB program to the form? (Because - as I know - there's no field on the properties box for this purpose)
(Or if you know an event equivalent to this record stepping, I think it would do as well)
Thanks in advance.

Hi -
Suppose I have a generic query that returns a group of records.
Is there some way to generate a field containing the number sequence of each record? E.g. if there are 10 records, generate the numbers 1 through 10?
Must be a simple way to do this, I'm just a bit dense today...
Thanks,

I have entered one entry in to the database with the correct values (this is record 6) and everytime I enter a new record, the data is the same (I'm using a drop down list) it will automatically appear in the box. But when I goto the table that the data is stored in, each field just has the reference to the first record that the data came from.
Looks a bit like this:
ID Server Name Pattern Engine Program
6 LN1HOME 4.735.00 8.500-1002 5.58.0.1185
7 LN1WORK2 6 6 6
Is there a way of seeing the origonal data in those fields other than the Record ID Number as a reference. :confused:
I know its a lame question, Im just is a learning process at the moment.
thanks in advance.
I have a form that has a combo box (box1), Its row source is from a table (table1) than the forms record source (query1). The data box1 sources is from column1 in table1.
I then have a text box (box2). I need it so when i select a record in box1 (from column1) that it displays the corresponding data in that same record (and table) but from column2
Example:
A table has a column with equations and another column with the answer.
I select "1+1" in the combo box
Then in the text box it displays "2"
I have a query on a form that is providing all of the information I need for everything on my form.
The problem is I don't know how to refer to a field's value in the query in VBA without having a hidden text field on the form.
I know I can reference a combo box's query to include criteria such as [Forms]![cboSelectStudent] if the control is actually on the form, but how would I refer to a value in the form's query that doesn't have a control on the form.
I've been searching for everything I can think to call this but haven't been able to come up with anything.
Thanks.
Using Access and Outlook 2010. I have a database that tracks Contracts for our University. One of the fields it tracks is Expiration Date.
Is there a way to have Access prompt Outlook to send an email to my boss when the contract is a month or within a month from expiring?I'm assuming when the database is opened it would have to run a query for expiration dates expiring within one month of today's date (which i know how to do).
I just don't know if it's possible to generate an email or some kind of message with those records/contract numbers displayed? I should also note my boss is the only one who uses this database so even if the email notice isn't possible, is there a way to show a message of what contracts are expiring soon when he opens the DB?
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'm reworking a db to make it web compatible. Right now I'm working on my Price and Sales tables.There are about 900 Sales records, 450 Price records (for about 45 Items).
I have re-done my Price table with an Autonumber Key field. (It had a multi-key which I understand web db does not support.) Each autonumber key represents a Date with new Price for a Company/Item. The Price change Dates are random.
I have put a Foreign Field in my Sales table for the Price key field.
My dilemma is matching the Sales with the Prices.
When the Price Date and Sales Date do not match (at least half of them don't match), I need to look back in the Price table to the max Date BEFORE the Sales Date in the Sales table for that Company/Item in order to select the correct Price key.
