Resetting Auto-number Field Back To Zero
Mar 13, 2008I have a primary key field called "Issue Number", with the properties set to auto-number.
After testing, I need to set it back to zero before going live.
I deleted all the records and did a compact and repair, but the first number that comes up is the one after the last one used during testing.
Help????
Thanks
Appending Records With A Desired Auto Number In A Table With Auto Number
Oct 26, 2005Here is my issue. In a table with an Auto Number index some records have been deleted. I have been able to recreate them along with their original auto number. The problem is that I do not know how to append these records forcing the original auto number. I have tried changing the auto number field to a number field in the table, this works except I cannot change it back to auto number.
I am sure I’m not the first with this question or issue. I did search through a couple hundred entries about auto number before I posted this question.

Auto Back Up Of Access
Jul 13, 2006What I would like to do is put a re-writable CD into the CD drive and leave it there. Access would copy it's back end onto the CD every day (say at 3 AM).
The "network" is the PC. Others link to it.
I've done a search and checked a few other places but no one seems to cover this.
I would like to keep it in Access but if I have to do somthing in Windows I will.

View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Auto Generate File Number Based On Number Of Records In Year
Jan 21, 2014I have a form [IUDATA]
I have a add record button.
I have a date field [DATEIN]
I have a text field [DRPNO]
If the [DPRNO] field is empty, I would like the user to have the [DPRNO] field be automatically populated after the user enters a date.
I'd like the format of [DPRNO] to be "dpr YY-XXX"
Where:
YY is the year of the [DATEIN] field and
XXX is number of records in that year.
So for example, if it was the 4th record with a 2013 date the [DPRNO] would be dpr 13-004.

View 8 Replies View RelatedAuto Increasing A Number, Depending On Maximum Number When Condition Is Met
Sep 18, 2006Hi,
I'm trying to get the maximum number in a table field to increase it by one depending on the member that is selected in a drop down in a field.
I have three tables: members, programs and times. Each member can have N programs and each program can be broadcast N times.
Each member has a three digit code, like XXX. Each program has the three digit code of the member + three numbers that are supposed to auto increment. That is, the first program of member X with the member code XXX is called XXX001.
What I'm trying to do is that when a new program is filled in and I select the member, then the program code should update automatically, adding one to the latest program by that member.
That is, if the last program by member X that was inserted in the database is XXX010, then if a new program is inserted it should automatically be XXX011, even though programs by other members have been added in between.
This is the code I use now, for the AfterUpdate when selecting the member in a dropdown in the form. But although I've played around a bit, I just get error messages...
Private Sub medlemsruta_AfterUpdate()
Dim medlemskod
medlemskod = Me![medlemsruta].Column(2)
Dim strMax As String
strMax = DMax("programs_kod", "table_programs", "Left$(programs_kod, 3) = medlemskod")
Me!program_kod = Left$(strMax, 3) & Format$(Val(Right$(strMax, 3)) + 1, "000")
End Sub
Medlemsruta is a dropdown where one selects the member from the members table, where the three digit code is in the third column (Column(2)).
I'm trying to use DMax to get the maximum number for the particular member and after that adding 1 to that for the new program code.
Grateful for any advice! Thanks!

Query That Result Incremental Number, With No Auto-Number
Sep 10, 2006Well, here's my database :
Name : String
Address : String
I want to add an automatically generated column, "no.", to show which number it's in. Like this :
No. Name Address
1. A Unknown
2. B Unknown2
The problem is, I can do that with Auto-Number, but if the user delete row 1, the number in row 2 is still 2, not 1.
Is it possible to generate query that have "no." column in it ?
General :: Auto Number PK Change Starting Number?
Dec 18, 2013I have a table with an auto number PK. This table will contain orders. I'd like to use the PK from this table as the Invoice number on the invoice. I'd like to have it start at a number other than "1" just because it looks better on an invoice. I don't know how to do this. I looked at the table design to see if there were options available to me there but couldn't find anything. Is it possible? (I do not know how to use code.)
View 7 Replies View RelatedAuto Sequence Number For Reference Number
Dec 8, 2005The title probably doesn't give an idea of what I need, so here goes.
We currently have reference #'s for our bills that include the date requested in mmddyy format, the first 3 letters of the customer, the initials of the order taker and finally a sequential number to show the sumber of bills that day.
example: 120705SEAGMM02 2nd order taken by GMM for Seagate on 12/7
120705SEARLH01 1st order taken by RLH for Seagate on 12/7
I want to generate this number automatically based on the date entered and the initials given of the user. We only deal with one customer at our desk so that will always be "SEA".
I have a query that generates the first portion (date, customer, and initials):
SELECT Format([REQDATE],"mm") AS [Month], Format([REQDATE],"dd") AS [Day], Format([REQDATE],"yy") AS [Year], Format([REQDATE],"mmddyy") AS [Both], [Both] & "SEA" & [PickUpReqData]![INITIALS] AS REFNO
FROM PickUpReqData;
But I can't seem to get my head around the part of generating the number. I know I had done this in a database I created 2 jobs ago but all my files were flooded out in Katrina. (I have since relocated to Atlanta, although I'm not looking for sympathy. But I will take what I can get!)
Anything to point me in the right direction will be appreciated. I am looking to have this on a form and feed the REFNO field in the PickUpReqData table.
Thanks.

Creating A Serial Number That Is NOT Auto-number
Mar 20, 2012I have a table called "OrderDetails" with following fields:
Num
OrderID (Primary key)
Product
Quantity
Price
I want to create a data entry subform that can used to enter order details in this table such that, for a given OrderID, the Num field is automatically set to previous number + 1. For example, for OrderID = 12, if there are 4 products that need to be entered, the 4 records should automatically take 1 , 2, 3, 4.

View 9 Replies View RelatedForms :: Hex Number Conversion - Assign Back Color To A Control
Aug 9, 2014I'm using Access 2010
What I want to be able to do is to assign a back colour to a control from VBA. There are many colours and what I thought would be an easy process was to choose a suitable colour to be assigned using the colour picker for a control, note the hex number then in my vba code would be
if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34
This compiles OK, but produces a completely different colour - I'm expecting an orange colour but getting blue and in another example a pale blue is coming out a brown.
Research indicates adding an ampersand to the end changes the value from integer to long but if I type
if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34&
The second ampersand disappears. In the immediate window
?&HF0AD34
?&HF0AD34&
?Val("&HF0AD34")
?clng("&HF0AD34")
?Val("&HF0AD34&")
?clng("&HF0AD34&")
All produce the same value of 15772980, which if I copy back to the control backcolour property produces the blue colour and not the required orange - which if i debug.print me.mycontrol.backcolor give me 3452400 - the correct number for orange.
The problem seems to be converting the hex number to a long.
Also how to modify the properties window to show the decimal value rather than the hex value, but can't see anywhere to do this.

Jul 25, 2005Hi, I have a form with some fields on it, there is one called Pro Number. what I would like to happen is when a new record is created, it starts at a certain number and continues to increment by one. In other words, the first record would be 5600 and the next new record would be 5601 etc.
I did have this working in an previous database, by creating a append query to start the number, but that does not seem to be working now...
Any help would be very much apprecited.

but any way I have the form made looks exactly like the previous years but I can not get the work order box to become an auto number and I need it to tart of at 12601 and I had it so that when I put in the date the next work order # would pop in the box, and I need to get all the hours and part totals to add up.
Auto Number
Aug 3, 2005I have 47 records in a table that were numbered 1-47 with auto number. I arranged the records in order of date increasing, and now, the auto numbers are all jumbled up. I want to have autonumber re-number the table 1-47 with 1 being the earliest date and 47 being the latest. Is there a way I can do this with autonumber? I need to continue using auto number, so I cannot simply just delete the field, and re arange the numbers manualy. what I tried to do was, delete the old auto number field, arange the table in order of date increasing, and then put auto number back in the table. All that did was give all the records their old numbers that auto number had previously given them. It's like access will not forget the numbers auto number had assigned to them.

How Do I Fix A Messed Up Auto Number?
Jan 4, 2008I have an ID field set as auto number, just because I need something for a key and all other data is not unique.
The problem is that it is not incrementing properly. I have 121621 in the autonumber field in the last record.
When making a new record, it is using 105347, which obviously already exists, and is causing problems.
I have already done a compact and repair which is supposed to fix this, but it has not. Is there anything else that I can do?
