How To Create A Table With An Autonumber Field
Dec 4, 2004Hi,
I'm new to this forum and have a question:
I want to create a table with an Autonumber field using a SQL statement,
in Microsoft Access Database, something like this:
Cnn.execute "CREATE TABLE newtable (id Long, Name Char(100)) "
is there something to put in place of "long" to make the field autonumber?
I tried the word "autonumber", but did not work.
Many Thanx.
Hadi.
Create Calculated Autonumber In A Table
Mar 17, 2008I have a table where one field needs to be an autonumber, however, that autonumber needs to be calculated. This field is not based on any other information in the database, but there's a very complicated mathematical process behind it, which I'm figuring out...I just need to know once I get that code complete, how do I tie it into the table?

Feb 19, 2007Hi All,
I am trying to create a make-table query, with a new AutoNumber field.
I know that if you are creating a new Text field you type FieldName: "" in Field and for a Number field you would type FieldName: [], but what do you type for an AutoNumber field?
Create New Record & Pass Autonumber To Separate Table
Mar 10, 2008I have a form, frmSub, that contains the combo box comProducts. I also have two tables, Products and PurchaseDetail. Both tables have the field ProductID.
I want comProducts to create a new record in the Products table, using the input in a field called Product and then to use the value of ProductID to create a new record in the PurchaseDetail table. Ie, so the PurchaseDetail table has a record that links to another record in the Products table via the feild ProductID.
I hope I was semi-clear.
'Different' Type Of Autonumber Needed
Sep 29, 2005Hi.
I need to substitute either random, non-duplicating 9 digit numbers in a field that held ssn's or to have a 9 digit 'autonumber'.
The 'number' can actually include alpha characters.
Any ideas?
Autonumber Data/Type Mismatch
Aug 20, 2007I have two tables, one has the autonumber column, sysid, and then in the process of updating the database via forms the sysid from one table is placed in another (text format). I thought I could use that to link the tables for queries, but I am running into a data/type mismatch error.
Any ideas to get around this?
Thanks!

How To Reset Tables To Change Data Type From Number To Autonumber
Dec 4, 2013So I have decided that I want my ID's to be AutoNumbers, but at the moment they are currently set as Numbers. I have already inserted data, to test, which has been deleted, however I am now unable to change the ID field back to AutoNumber.
How can I duplicate the tables so that this field can be changed again?
I have like 10 tables with heaps of feild, so remaking them will take long, but I know there is a way using queries, I am just not sure how...
Access 97 + Linked Table Oracle + Autonumber
Mar 24, 2006Hello,
I'm making a MS Access frontend for some tables on the Oracle 8 database at work. The tables are linked ofcourse.
One table has an AUTONUMBER field on the Oracle and it seems to give me trouble to insert new records.
When I try to insert a new record (leave the autonumber field blank) I get the following error: "ODBC — insert on a linked table <table> failed. (Error 3155)" followed by the error "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-01722: invalid number (#1722)".
When I look at the Oracle documentation I got this:
ORA-01722 invalid number
Cause: The attempted conversion of a character string to a number failed
because the character string was not a valid numeric literal. Only numeric fields or character fields containing numeric data may be used in arithmetic functions or expressions. Only numeric fields may be added to or subtracted from dates.
Action: Check the character strings in the function or expression. Check that
they contain only numbers, a sign, a decimal point, and the character "E" or "e" and retry the operation.
I checked the INSERT statement: "INSERT INTO AFM_HV_PROP_VALUE (HV_INST_ID, HV_PROPERTY_ID, TABLE_NAME, HV_PROPERTY_VALUE) VALUES (4, 'V_TESTJE', 'hv_inst', '123465')" and everything seems to be allright. The value that's causing the error is the "4" that gets in the "HV_INST_ID"-field.
Using TOAD to execute the SQL Statement, there is no problem at all.
When I look at the table design in MS Access I see that the Autonumber field is of the type "Double". That doesn't seem right to me...
Anyone some suggestions? I'm running out of courage :s
Greetings,
Niels R.

Mar 2, 2005I currently have a few tables that use an autonumber as the primary key, however, I would like the autonumber to start with a series of letters if possible. For example: instead of it creating an ID of 1, then, 2, 3, 4, and so on, I would like it to append lets say "ABC" to the front of it; ABC1, ABC2, ABC3, etc.

Create AutoNumber Field
Dec 20, 2005All,
I have trawled boards and sites, but cannot find the answer!
I have a make-table query, and I wish to create an AutoNumber field.
Now I know that if you put fieldname: "" , a Text field will be created and if enter fieldname: [] then a Binary field will be created.
Is there a code I can use to create an AutoNumber field?
Help appreciated!

yes, yes, i know how to do it in a report, but I need right now to be able to do it in a query alone.. anyone?
I tried:
SELECT Sum(1+), Guest_Name, Account_Number, Count(Account_Number) AS [Falls]

=p no luck.. though it looks neat.
I also tried writing a function

gQryNum = 1
GetQryNum = gQryNum
Else
gQryNum = gQryNum + gQryNum

But all i get is a '1' in every row.
Any ideas?

Tables :: Creating PK With Calculated Autonumber To Create Relationships
Sep 24, 2012I am trying to create four tables: Company, Contact, Activities, and Opportunities.
I want them to relate hierarchically. A Company can have many contacts, contacts can have multiple Activities and Opportunities. But you can't have contacts without a company and you can't have Activities and Opportunities without having a contact. I want all PK's in all tables to link to one another, that you cannot create one without the other.
How I can do this in Access 2010?
YYMM00000-000000-A0000
CompanyID-ContactID-ActivityID
or
YYMM00000-000000-O0000
CompanyID-ContactID-OpportunityID
Over Type Values To Create New Record?
Feb 16, 2012I'm looking to record bets and winnings for multiple accounts with a running balance for each account and a running grand total. On the face of it a spreadsheet seemed to be the answer but I need to create a history of bets placed and winnings received. The friend, for whom I'm doing this, wants to be able to overtype current values to create new records. There must also be a facility to create new accounts.
Account A has an opening balance of £135.00 and the other accounts each have their own balances.
A bet of £100 is placed against Account A i.e. a debit, so the balance is now £35.00. Subsequently, a win of £150.00 is received of £150 so the balance is now £185.
Each bet should, I think, have an effective date and an inactive date. Current records will have an effective date but the inactive date will be null. Completed bets will have both an effective date and an inactive date.
Wins only need a date created date.I need to display the account name, current bet, winning amount and balance on the same row - using a form? When the form is opened there will be a column of account names, a column of current bets, a column of winnings and a column of balances.
If there is a current bet then that value should be shown in the appropriate text box. When a win is received the user should type that value in the 'Win' text box and a new Win record should be created with today's date. The inactive date of the current bet should be updated to today's date.
Now the Current_Bet text box should be empty as should the Winning text box.
The user should now be able to enter a new value in the Current_Bet box and create a new current bet record with an effective date of today and a null inactive date.
How can I populate the Current_Bet box with the value of the current record, make the changes described above and use the same text box to enter new values and create new records.
Essentially the form would look pretty much a spreadsheet where the user can just overtype values but a history of changes has to be recorded and the balance isn't just the sum of the displayed values because if it was then each time values were overtyped the balance would change and would take no account of the history.
Tables :: Autonumber Field - Can't Create Record Because Data Will Be Duplicated
Feb 12, 2014When I tried paste some data using front end to my database, Access showed error (can't create record because data would be duplicated). I thought it's impossible because it is autonumber field. So I checked it (manually). I did copy of my database and then for testing, I created record. I was shocked. Next record should has a value of "160" but Access gave "130" then showed an error "Can't create record because data will be duplicated". Of course after compact and repair everything is fine.
