I am creating a table with a field named Payment ID. I want the table to increment the number of this field automatically when the user is trying to enter a new record, i.e. set the field as an autonumber.
I know that this is very basic, my MS Access skills is really limited.
Cheers.
How do I change an AutoNumber that will output 1, 2, 3 to output 0001, 0002, 0003??
Thanks
Jessie
I have two tables linked to each other in one to many relationship. Instead of auto number, the date and shift (Text) is being used as the primary keys (Composite Primary Key). Here is the tables structures,
Payouts Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night) : Primary Key
Bills Table:
Date: Primary Key
Shift (Day or Night): Primary Key
Autonumber: Primary Key
The tables Payouts and Bills has one to many relationship. One payout row can have many bills. The problem is that I want to start the Autonumber in bills table everyday from 1. As date and shift are different for every day so even if i start bills from 1 everyday, it wont make same primary key. I can do it manually but I want to make it automatically.
I have a numeric field (long integer) in a table. I've set the format to fixed. No matter what I set the decimal places to, auto, 0 or 2, when I enter a value of 0.71, it displays as 1.00
In my form, I've also set the field property to fixed, but it displays the value as 1.
I have a table with 6000 records. The last autonumber is 8810 and now my next autonumber wants to start at 2752. Is there a way that I can renumber that entire field to number correctly? I have tried compacting and repairing the database. Your assistance is appreciated.

I have deleted all records from a database and wish to re-set an autonumber field back to 1.
At present when we start re-entering records it starts from record 769 where the old records finished.
Can you please advise how we can do this.
Thanks
hi
I want to start value in autonumber field at certain number than 1
ex. start autonumber at 1000 then 1001 ......
how
thank you
I have an autonumber field that somehow got reset back to one. Is there anyway to reset this number, I need it to be back around 1900.
This is a big problem because I use the auto number as an order number and also use that number to link the options selected to that order. Now that it has reset to one, it is picking up options from the original order number one.
Any suggestions?
Addtl Info. This is in an Order Table. When the order is ready for manufacturing it is assigned a serial number and the order is deleted from the order table and put into a production table.
Hi
I want to renumber an autonumber field to remove the gap appear after deleting the record.
I know it is possible by deleting field and creating a new autonumber field having same name.
But all this I want to do with code.
I will be gratefull if any one help me.

could someone please tell how i can reset an autonumber field to start from 1.
basically i have created a table and carried out a number of test with useless data. now that i have the table set up the way i want it and i have tested the queries etc i want to delete all the current data in the table and begin filling it with correct data. however i want my primary id to start from 1 which at the moment it doesn't because i have just deleted 50 records.
thanks in advance
I had a table with an ID field defined as AutoNumber. It contained a large number of records. When I deleted those records, and added a new record, it was alloted an ID which was an increment of the last ID when the Table was full previously.
I want that the AutoNumber ID be ReNumbered from start if any record is deleted.
All,
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!

Hello
I am having a problem with my frmAddCustomer. I need it so when a new record is entered into tblCustomer (via the form) the autonumber made in CustomerID will be copied and entered into tblDelivery.CutomerID. Thus making a new record in tblDelivery. The form uses a query will all tblCustomer fields and tblDelivery's CustomerID.
How do i go about making it so when a new record from tblCustomers, the autonumber generated is automatically entered into CustomerID of tblDelivery (leaving other fields in tblDelivery empty ready to be edited at a later date)(also how do i make it so when I open up frmAddCustomer it goes straight to a blank record instead of viewing already entered customers)
Thanks
I would like to create a query that has a new autonumber field. Any suggestions or add-ins available? Thanks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello- I am trying to create a database for a non- profit. They have events and workshops and want a numbered field for each entry in their registration form. Seems like a simple thing to do, but Im not figuring it out. Is there anyway to put an unbound field in a form that will autonumber each entry?
Thanks for any help!
I am using Brinkster to do some ASP/MS ACCESS programming.
I need to add a field which increments automatically with every insert into the table.
I tried the following statement:
ALTER TABLE Jobs ADD jobid AutoNumber(4)
What is the exact syntax?
Thanks
What am I doing wrong that I cannot get this to work?
I have a table with Patient Details - the Primary key being called PatientID and this is an Autonumber.
I then have a table called Episode Details. I want them to be linked via the PatientID. When I set up the forms however, it won't work.(Relationship PatientID - PatientID one to many)
I think it is something to do with the Autonumber but can't work out what...
I have tblDefaults that has only one record, containing default values. Next I have tblWebpages that has a Memo field that holds my html data. Lastly I have a Form called frmCreate with a field called Webpage. This Form is based on a tblCreate table.
Whenever I click a command button on my Form, I want to populate the Webpage field on my frmCreate Form with a template from tblWebpages. The template to chose will be based upon the WhichTemplate field in tblDefaults.
In brief, tblDefaults tells me which is the current webpage template and so the field should be populated with that html data.
Phew!
Thanks,
Jon
Im not sure if this is the right area to post this but what i wanted to know is how i would set the field "status" to OutStanding when a record is added into the table.

However I have been using Dataease alot but switched companies so am back to access.In dataease if I had a form called projects and that form had three fields (employee ID, employee first name, employee last initial) that pulled data from another table other than the projects table I would relate them via the employee ID. projects form employee ID = employee form employee IDthen for the two other fields I would have them lookup their data by using the employee id.projects form employee first name = if (projects employee ID = employee employee ID) then lookup employee employee first name. And the same for the last initial.The question is how do I setup for fields for first name and last initial to do the lookup in access.Employee ID TableEmployee ID #Employee First NameEmployee Last InitialProject TableEmployee ID (linked to employee id table)project idproject nameproject discriptionproject start dateproject end dateproject formproject idproject nameproject discriptionproject start dateproject end dateemployee ID (must match employee table employee id)employee first name (read only field that looks its data up from the employee table based on employee id)employee last initial (read only field that looks its data up from the employee table based on employee id)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two tables relating to People
PeopleType: ID and description (e.g. 1 student, 2 teacher, etc)
PeopleDetails: PeopleType.id, name, gender etc
I have a form that contains subforms
On the Main section of the form the data comes from the PeopleDetails. I want the user to fill in this but I want the PeopleType.id to be set to e.g. 2 so that you can only key in teacher details.
I have been trying to set it using a macro SetValue but i cannot get it to work.
I have a form to enter attendance in that pulls students from a StudentEnrollmentTable based on FacultyName which is selected from a combobox that runs the following code:
Private Sub cboInstructorName_Click()
Me.Requery
End Sub
A query (StudentAttendanceBYFaculty) is run each time a faculty name is selected. On the form their is a field name TempClassesAttended which is bound to a field of the same name in the StudentEnrollmentTable. Teachers will enter attendance data and run an append query to append the current form records to the StudentAttendanceTable. Each time the form is repopulated the most recent TempClassesAttended values are pulled into the form. This is what is expected.
Now I want to load Null values into the TempAttendance field on the form each time the Faculty selects their name and runs the event. I looked at code online and it seems easy enough, but I don't know enough to make it work. This is the code suggested:
UPDATE TableName SET FieldName = Null
OR
UPDATE MyTable
SET MyField = Null
how to include this into the current event so that the event will return the faculty records with Null values in the TempAttendence field.
I have a table <Table1> with field <Cust_ID> with datatype <Autonumber, LongInteger,Increment>. It means that as new record is entered each Cust_ID is auto-generated with incrementing number (that is not fraction). Now, I want to create a field that will generate incrementing fractional AutoNumber as I go on adding new record. (e.g. 1st record: Cust_ID = 1.00000001, 2nd record: Cust_ID: 1.00000002, 3rd record Cust_ID: 1.00000003)
Any help is appreciated. Thanx in advance.

So, basically my database has quite a number of lookup fields in tables as there is much repeated data, each one references to a seperate table with an autonumber field (ID) and a text field (Value)
Currently I have column one (ID) as the bound column in such cases, as this is what the guy who started me on access said to do, and it's fine until I try and export any query with such a field to Excel.
I have found, through experimentation, that setting the 2nd column (Value) as the bound column allows me to export the values rather than numbers, but I don't know if this is a sensible thing to do? (ie, I don't know what other unexpected effects this might have)
Any guidance here would be very welcome, thanks,

I need to make changes to a table already containing data. Currently the autonumber field is simply there as a primary key, but I now wish to use it for another number field (Accession No) which was previously completed manually.
As this doesn't seem possible or practical (as I need the flexibility to overwrite the number sometimes), I just want the autonumber to also appear in the Accesion No field when a new record is added (but be manually overwriteable).
I've had a play with default values and lookups, but with no success, and haven't found anything on the forum. Where am I going wrong, or is this just not possible?
Thanks for your help.

So I have a table tblPO2006 with a field PO that contains a number.
Currently I have 100 records and the curent number in this field is 10804
What i want to do is when a new record is created the field updates with a +1 increment to the previous records number.
Thus the new record would be 10805 and the next 10806 etc
I dont want to use autonumber... can someone point me in the write direction of code to do this.
thanks
