I'm not sure if it's a simple task, keep in mind I'm new to using access. We have a need at work for a small db just to keep track of some things and access seems appropriate.
I was attempting to set up the primary key in a date / increment format.
Basically the format would be year, month, day, increment (starting at 001)
060125-001 060125-002 060125-003
etc
next day I would like the key to change according to date and reset the increment to start again at 001
060126-001 060126-002
etc
I do realize they are different data types, I'm just not sure how to attack setting it up. Thank you in advance for any help / suggestions. :)
I want to know how to reset (to start again from 1) my primary key field. As an example i have the "Customers" table with the field "customerID" as PK now i entered many values (20) then i deleted them but i want to start again and the "customerID" value starts with 21 i understand that but i want a fresh DB (i was testing things) and i want to start from 1 can i? how? i even deleted the relation between this table and the other table but no success!

in an initials field... i want it so that it could automatically increment the 3 letters to uppercase... how? if it can't be done in a table where can it be made (i.e. in a form, query etc)
Looking to see if there is an easy solution to this problem I have.
I have a table which holds order information, the primary key for this table is orderID which is an autonumber.
The field in question is order number, which has a default value of "JJO"00000, which I have started manually at JJO10001, is there anyway i can get my database to automatically increment this number to save me from keep checking the last order number produced.
Lost count of the number of times I have gave the same order number to numerous customers.
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.
Hi guys I am trying despereatly to fulfill this function with a macro any help will be appreciated I know this may be easy but the help files isnt helpful- so what else is new ;)
Database- C:sports.mbd table - tblbasketball current primary key - ID
new primary key needed- ID, EMPNO
The following codes dont work :(
ALTER TABLE tblbasketball DROP CONSTRAINT PK_tblbasketball PRIMARY KEY
I have an employee table(parent) and family (child)members table. I have a field in the Family table called employee which i have created the one(employee) to many (family relationship). When I add a new family member why does the employee id not show automatically show in family table. I have to add it manually.
I need to be able to do an SQL update on this table to subtract 1 from the product_quantity field.
I could do this with two SQL queries (SELECT product_quantity, then subtract 1, then UPDATE table) but I'm sure there must be a way just to run one query which subtracts 1 from the field.
I couldn't find a similar question already answered and I am stuck at home due to the blizzard here in Denver Colorado so I can't get any other resources to help. I am working on a select query where I am using two table's and another select query to pull information.
table HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE: - BEGIN DATE - END DATE - SAP - ACCNTNUM - SUM VALUE
table SAP DETAIL TABLE: - Fiscal Year - Company Code - Account Number - SumofAmt CoCd currency - Cabinet
Currently the join properties include: from SAP DETAIL TABLE the Company Code and Account Number to the HOLDINGS HASH QUERY #3 SAP and ACCNTNUM, from HOLDINGS HASH QUERY #3 SAP and ACCNTNUM to the HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE SAP and ACCNTNUM.
There are three things that I am trying to accomplish with this query. The first is pulling down the SAP and ACCNTNUM fields which works fine. The second is pulling down the SumOfAmt CoCd currency and SumOfSumOfAS_OF_BOOK_VALUE_4TH which matches the SAP and ACCNTNUM fields which works fine.
What I'm trying to do for the third is to only pull the SUM VALUE from the HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE that matches the SAP and ACCNTNUM fields and also where the AS_OF_DATE from the HOLDINGS HASH QUERY #3 is between the BEGIN DATE and END DATE from the HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE.
This query will then be the output for a report.
In order to accomplish the third task I have tried to complete a SELECT statement and a IIF statement that have not worked. I am sure the select statement would work but I just can't figure it out. Any help would be very very much appreciated.
I work at a Phamaceutical company in the US (based in London) and have a database that tracks atypical events. It has normally about 10 concurrent users and continually (once a week sometimes more sometimes less) corrupts. I have spent a lot of time validating the database writing the user requirements, functioanal and design specs as well as a 150 page IOPQ.
It is a split database with both front and back ends on a file server. I know this is not the best way to do it but the database is frequently updated with requests for new reports etc and I am not sure how to push down the front ends to all the use pcs. The database is about 40 mb.
I like the database. It is fully audit trailed and does what I need it to do, but the corruption thing is driving me batty. I have the jetutils with the viewer to see who is in the db (by pc name) and then I cross reference that to the person in the db and call them to get out. It is a real pain in the arse and I am just about ready to agree with the IT guys that Access is not a multi user database.
I am currently building a holiday planner for my employers and I would like to try and display the days of the year as rows and the staff as columns (Fields). When someone adds a new member of staff, I would like it to also add them to the calendar table as a new column and name the column the same as the individuals name. Is this possible using VBA or SQL string?
If anyone has a better idea as to how I can display the forthcoming holidays for a team I would really appreciate your comments.
Do i have to give a commit statement when i update tables in backend(insert, delete,update) from a form, say when user clicks submit, it takes the data in fields and inserts it into the table , but till now i never did that but i could see all data when i queried the table, but i am not sure if that would be right, if i have to give Commit, how do i do that using VBA?
I've got a table in which there are 20 numeric columns. For one report, I want to add all of the data in those columns together. I used the expression:
Where dailyactivity is the name of the table, and pkgseq01cnt is the name of the first column, etc.
The expression returns the number 961.
If i make a query where i sum all of the columns individually, and then a query based off of that query where i add all of the sumed columns together, i get the number 965. (which, as far as i can tell, is the right number) the expression in the second of those querries is:
where 'seat' is the name of the first query that sums the columns.
I think those two ways should both come up with the same number - but i can't figure out why the first way is missing four! there are thousands of rows so it is hard to go through the table itself. Also, in both of those ways, the querry includes a 'where' column which limits it to rows where another column equals a certain word - but that's relatively straight forward - dont' know why that would make it different.
I'm trying to write a query that will display my data for anything that has a date between 10/01 and 10/15. I went into the "Build" area and looked at the "functions" available but none of them sound right - and the one book I have on Access is not so great.
Simply (although not for me) I am trying to build a form that involves a unique identifying number being entered, a button being pressed and relevant field belonging to that unique identifying number being displayed in a subform.
For example, I might want to enter a customer number, press a button and all the orders made by that customer appear in a subform.
What I am doing, is I have various products with 5 basic fields. I then wanted to add an array of text fields to 2 of those original 5 basic fields. I attempted to do this with a subdatasheet, however, a subdatasheet is not record specific, is not directed to a specific field, and really does not do anything that I want.
Say that the basic field is ProductDescription. I want one column of fields to correlate to it, like below. ProductDescription Is blue Is large Is heavy Is strong
Each product will have a different amount of varying descriptor fields. Once understand how to incorporate this with my project, I then will need to understand how to add the subdatasheet to a report easily. Thanks for any help, -SethTherrien
I have a table that is a list of available UPC codes that through forms are being assigned to several different tables (types of items). When the UPC code is assigned, there is a yes/no box which is checked. I need to have a message box appear when the last of these UPC codes has been used (or better yet perhaps when there are a specific number left - such as 10 - so the user isn't all of a sudden locked out of any more work).
It could even be triggered when a specific UPC code is reached - they will be in numerical order (ignoring the check digit). Is there anyway to do this globally or would the check need to be on each form as the UPC is assigned?
Hello dear experts! Will this table structure work? - Please help! I need to be able to see if certain members have paid subscription, see if stakeholders have paid for their room bookings, etc. Will it work, does it look ok to you?
Im trying to brush up my normalisation skills and logic.
