Primary Key In New Records Is Null
Jun 5, 2015
I recently acquired a database that is already established. When entering new date the primary key is null. I've looked at the properties and the best I can figure is it has something to do with a missing property called New Values.

hey guys. i have a field by the name of ISSUE. i am using this afterupdate event procedure
which is as follow:
Private Sub ISSUE_AfterUpdate()
If Not IsNull(ISSUE) Then
ISSUE = Format(ISSUE, "000000")
End If
End Sub
if a user enter like (23) in my ISSUE field my procedure will run and it will replace
the number by (000023) to make it a six digit. i wanted to create a primary key so then a user cannot enter the same number again
or cannot duplicate a record but i cannot because primary key cannot take a null value. Can you all tell me anything to add in my procedure so that once the number is entered like (23)
another user cannot enter (23) again in the record.
Thanks

I am currently trying to insert a record into my database. The fields in my table are RecordID, BillNumber, CongresspersonID, and Vote. RecordID is the primary key and its data type is Autonumber. It says the primary key can't be null, but it's not! It wouldn't let me upload the database because it says it's too big. This is my code:
PrivateSub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.ClickcongressCommand.CommandText = "Insert into votingRecord(BillNumber, CongresspersonID, Vote) Values('" & ComboBox1.Text & "', '" & TextBox1.Text & "', '" & ComboBox2.Text & "')"
Dim numOfRecordsChanged AsInteger = congressCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
[code]....

Hey guys,
Anyone know how to go about catching the "Index or primary key cannot contain a Null value." message box and perhaps showing a custom message instead?
Thanks in advance,

I have a form with a tab control. On the 2nd tab, I have a subform. This subform is linked to the Primary key of the Mainform. They both use the same query. when this form loads, it goes to a new record. I can update that record and go to the 2nd tab to enter more information for that record, and it works fine, however, if i then go from an existing record to a new record, i can enter all the information on the first tab, but when i go to the 2nd tab, i get Index or Primary key cannot contain null value. If i go back to the first tab, then right back to the 2nd tab, everything works. Why is it doing this?? please help urgent. here's my code:
Tabcontrol On change:
Code:On Error GoTo Err_TabCtl0_ChangeIf IsNull(VerificationNo) ThenElseDoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70Me.RefreshEnd IfExit_TabCtl0_Change:Exit SubErr_TabCtl0_Change:MsgBox Err.DescriptionResume Exit_TabCtl0_ChangeEnd Sub
Create new On Click:
Code:On Error GoTo Err_NewVerification_ClickIf IsNull(VerificationNo) ThenElseDoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRecInboundQuestions!lblQ4bExplain.Visible = FalseInboundQuestions!Q4bExplain.Visible = FalseInboundQuestions!Q5Explain.Visible = FalseInboundQuestions!lblQ5Explain.Visible = FalseInboundQuestions!txtQ10.Visible = FalseInboundQuestions!Q10.Visible = FalseInboundQuestions!lblPrevPlan.Visible = FalseInboundQuestions!PrevPlan = FalseInboundQuestions!Page1.SetFocusVerificationNo.SetFocusNewVerification.Enabled = FalseEnd IfExit_NewVerification_Click:Exit SubErr_NewVerification_Click:MsgBox Err.DescriptionResume Exit_NewVerification_ClickEnd Sub
I think maybe what i need is an event on my subform that navigates the record on the subform to the same record that is on my main form. I think my subform is staying on a new record. Please help me ASAP!

I have just inherited a database that currently has no primary key set up. I wanted to add a two part primary key, but have run into a couple problems. The purpose of the database is to keep track of parts that have come back for repair. I wanted to set the key up to be a combination of the call number and the part serial number. I should always have a serial number, but the serial number can be in the table more than once, as it could have needed repaired more than once. I will normally have a call number for each record.
However, the call number could be repeated more than once, if more than one part came in on the call. The combination between call number and serial number should always be unique (each time a part comes in, it should be on a different call). My problem is arising, when a part is just pulled off the shelf of the factory and sent in for an upgrade. In a case like that, there is no call number. However, a serial number will never come in more than once without a call number.
So the combination of call number and serial number should still remain unique. When I try to set this up in the database, it tells me that the primary key cannot contain a null value (referring to the times that a serial number comes in without a call number). I want to get this set up so that the people entering data in the database will not be able to enter the call number, serial number combination more than once. How can I do this if one part of the primary key can be null?

I am running up against an error "Index or Primary Key Cannot Contain Null Value". In the dialog box it doesn't give the RTE number just the description, OK & Help buttons. After some searching the description matches RTE 3058.
I have identified why it's happening and through a process of elimination it's happening in the Before Update event of a subform. I have tried to catch it in an error handler so I can have a bespoke dialog box to inform the user exactly why it's happened and then undo, but it just goes straight to the dialog box.
How I can catch this?
Access 2010.

I have a .csv file that I am trying to import via:
External Data > Text File
My Delimiter is a | . My Text Qualifier is a "
I keep getting the error Index Or Primary Key cannot contain a null value.
However, I have manually gone through and removed all Indexes. There is also no primary key defined:
1. Is Access trying to identify a primary key for me?
2. Since I have not defined a primary key how can there be a null value in it?
I have tried to:
1. Add an additional AutoNumber Field (Indexed=True, No Duplicates) but this did not seem to fix the issue.
2. To Not import the fields that I suspect are being categorized as a primary key.

I'm trying to record a payment, but I keep getting this error upon completion of my form:
Index or primary key cannot contain a null value.
I've checked the data types and relationships and they seem to be fine.
Here are links to my Access files (2007 & 2003)for your reference:

Hey Guys
I'm having abit of bother with a database I'm fooling around with.
Basically it has 4 main tables at the moment.
Personal Details
Participant ID (Autonumber)
etc
Training Details
Participant ID (Number)
Attendance ID (Text Field) Auto generated by expression =[Participant ID]&[Course Code]&[Level Code]
etc
Attendance Records
Attendance ID (Text Field)
Review ID (Text Field) Auto generated by expression =[Attendance ID]&[Month]
Reviews
Review ID (Text Field)
etc
These tables are linked by standard one to many relationships. (http://www.flamingbird.com/relationship.png)
Everything worked fine until I decided to Auto Generate the Attendance IDs and Review IDs to save confusion amongst those administering it.
Now it reports when I try to add a new record to the tables with the Auto generated IDs that:-
Index or Primary Key cannot contain a null value.
It appears the auto generated ID's are being mistaken for NULL values!
Anyone any ideas as to why this is happening? This is really my first time trying anything this complex, every other database I've done relied heavily on the data inputer.
Oh and its Office 2003, but the database is in 2000 format cos not all the office has office 2003 just the training end.
Many thanks
Dazzy

I've inherited a rather messy database which and I need to split it in order for us all to be able to enter data at the same time without problems however I get the following message..Index or primary key cannot contain a Null value..It happens at the table that contains the majority of the data (typical) but I cannot understand what could be causing it. I've check Null Primary Key field and removed all of the "required" statuses out of the fields but still no luck.
I tested on a backup database from a couple of days ago and it worked. Only difference is I've added a few bits and bobs since then and 1 field in the table it's stalling on but this field doesn't contain any null values either and I've tried deleting that field in my test database but made no difference.

I've designed a DB in access which has a BackEnd and 2 FrontEnds (one person insert all the records and the others just keep inserting infos till the process is finished.The DB has 12 tables and we used it for about 6 months without having any trouble but recently (2 weeks ago) i've add 3 new tables and then related them to one table that already exist.
The DB was running smoothly for a week after the changes but last monday (09/15) the "Record is deleted" appeared. I've compacted and repaired an the following errors descriptions appeared:
ErrorCode: -1017
ErrorDescription: Record is deleted.
ErrorTable: tblFatura
ErrorCode: -1053
ErrorDescription: Index or primary key cannot contain a Null value.
ErrorTable: tblFatura
ErrorCode: -1630
ErrorDescription: You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'TblExpense'.
ErrorTable: tblFatura
I've restored the file via IT using the Backup2 days before the error occurred but after 30 minutes the same error appeared! I dont know if it is related to the new tables that i have add or no?

I am building a database to capture monthly statistics on a number of items. I want to ensure that users don't enter statistics for the same item for the same reporting period. I found the following instruction, but can't make it work:
It suggests that I create multiple primary keys in the table
When I do it, it comes back with an error: Index or primary key cannot contain a null value.

Access 2010..One organization that we work with provides us with a block of numbers for each of the two types of contract products we order from them; we do order non-contract stuff from them also.The block of numbers are the same (i.e. 20000 to 30000 this year) for each of the two products. This means that each product can have the number 20000, for example. We call this the Tracking Number. If it is one of these products, we need to select the Contract Number.
For all other one off orders we have with them, we assign our own Tracking Number starting with 00001. This Tracking Number cannot duplicate unless it is one of the aforementioned two products.Both the Tracking Number and Contract Number are in the same table. The user selects the Contract Number from a form (connected to the Contract Number table that has all the details on the contract) and the Contract Number is populated in the same table that has the Tracking Number.Each order must have a Tracking Number (no null)..Not all orders need a Contract Number (null okay).The Tracking Number and Contract Number combination cannot duplicate.I tried setting the primary keys to more than one field in the table, but they cannot have null values.
If not... I have been working on Plan B.... an AfterUpdate on the form (either the form or a field... don't know yet) that looks at a query that only has results if there are duplicate values.

Hello all,
A bit of a weird one, I've got a query and the criteria for showing records is that one particular field is null. However the query is showing records with the values in the field chosen for the Is Null.
Not sure why this is happening, has anyone come across this problem before?
Thanks.

All seemed to be working well, however, I noticed that all my subtable records in the database are exporting with each Primary table record. In my output, I'm looking to see each primary table record followed by one or more subtable records from a one to many relationship.

I think the title pretty much sums it up....
I have a query where data is first sorted by user input; first field's criteria: [fieldname], then by another field's criteria: Is Null.
I know there are records containing null values in the second field, as I have run a select query with the criteria: Like "*", to make sure they are null, and not zero-length-strings.
The query is refusing to return any results...
Any ideas?

I have a table, and there are many records, each with a unique value in the OrderNumber field
I have a text box on a form, and i want it to work so that the user types in a OrderNumber value, and it loads that record into the form (the form is bound to the table)
I already know how to load a record by record number, but how can i do it by OrderNumber value?
thanks

I have a modest sized data base and have been having trouble keeping out duplicate records with the same last name, first name, and DOB. I know I could use all 3 fields as a primary key, but I would like a simpler way of checking for duplicates.

I have a table which has a primary ID and then date/time then an empid field relating to an empid table,
Is it possible to design a query to return all records per empid which exceed 30 minutes for the last 30 days? or even 'today' or a specified date whichever is easiest?

OK, I've tried everything I can think of with this query/subform/records problem. I've searched the internet for days, even bought some big fat Access reference books and read them cover-to-cover, but I still can't get my database to do what I want. This newbie would *really* appreciate some help...
I am trying to create a database which I can use to store client’s advertising expenses. I currently have three tables: tblListings (which stores basic information about each client, with the field ListingID as the primary key); Advertising Rates (which stores the different types of advertising products and their prices, with the field ProductNumber as the primary key); and tblAdvertisingExpenses (which stores each “order” of an advertising product, including the client’s ListingID as a foreign key, date, the type of advertising, and the total cost - the primary key is an auto-numbered field called OrderNumber).
I have a main form called frmListings, which displays the client’s information from the tblListings table, and includes a subform. I wanted the subform to show only the advertising expenses corresponding to the ListingID (ie. client) displayed on the main form, so I based the subform on a query which displays all records from tblAdvertisingExpenses with a ListingID that matches the ListingID displayed from tblListings. So far so good - the records displayed in the subform change correctly when the record in the main form changes.
Now the tricky part…
The subform displays a blank row for a new record, and I would like to be able to enter a new advertising expense in that blank record (date, type of ad, and cost), and have that data added as a new record in the tblAdvertisingExpenses table with a new auto-numbered OrderNumber. I don’t know whether it’s because the subform is actually a dynaset from a query, or because I’ve constructed the query incorrectly (highly likely, I’m still pretty new to queries), but when I add in the details for the new record, I get the following error:
The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship (etc, etc).
I suspect that Access is attempting to write the record (along with the ListingID) back to the tblListings table, where the same ListingID already exists (uniquely) as the primary key. But I don’t know for sure, because I don’t really know what the heck I’m doing. What I actually want to do is have the new record I’ve entered in the subform added to the tblAdvertisingExpenses table, which is the record source for the qryListings query which displays records in the subform. It shouldn’t be a problem, should it? So why can’t I get it to work? Perhaps there’s a fundamental flaw in the way I’ve broken up the database into tables, or my assigning of primary keys and foreign keys. Or perhaps there’s a flaw with the way I’ve constructed my query. Or am I forced to have a completely separate form solely for entering data into the tblAdvertisingExpenses table? Or will I need to use a macro or VBA to accomplish what I want?...
Sorry if this is terribly confusing. I can provide more specific details (and screen captures) of the tables, queries, forms, and relationships (if I haven’t provided enough specific details already), and would really appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Help?!

I have a calculated field in a query. The field name is TotatPt (this is to calculate the total points students have earned during the term). The expression is as follows:
Code:
TotalPt: [Att1Pt]+[Att2Pt]+[Att3Pt]+[Att4Pt]+[Att5Pt]+[Att6Pt]+[Att7Pt]+[Att8Pt]+[Att9Pt]+[Att10Pt]+[Att11Pt]+[Att12Pt]+[Att13Pt]+[Att14Pt]+[Att15Pt]+[Att16Pt]+[Att17Pt]+[Att18Pt]+[Att19Pt]+[Att20Pt]+[Att21Pt]+[Quiz1Pt]+[Quiz2Pt]+[Quiz3Pt]+[Quiz4Pt]+[Quiz5Pt]+[Quiz6Pt]+[Quiz7Pt]+[Quiz8Pt]+[Quiz9Pt]+[Quiz10Pt]+[MidtermWritPt]+[FinalWritPt]+[Proc1Pt]+[Proc2Pt]+[Proc3Pt]+[Proc4Pt]+[Proc5Pt]+[Proc6Pt]+[Proc7Pt]+[Proc8Pt]+[Proc9Pt]+[Proc10Pt]+[Proc11Pt]+[Proc12Pt]+[Proc13Pt]+[Proc14Pt]+[ProcPracPt]
I think this should be no complicated expression (though a bit long) and should just add the fields together. But what I get is that the calculated field appears as expected for records with an odd primary key (1, 3, 5, 7, ...) and turns out blank for records with an even primary key (2, 4, 6, 8, ...)!
I've attached a screenshot.

I'm trying to get a query to display only the records that have a null value in a certain field.
I know this has something to do with the Nz function, but I can't figure it out.
