just a small question. I have a database that assigns a unique 'audit id' to each entry. the ID is in the form of : DEA-[client prefix]-autonumber. Everything is working fine except the autonumber part. I have gaps in the numeric sequence. Ex: DEA-AAA-1, DEA-AAA-2, DEA-AAA-8, DEA-ABC17, etc.
is there a way that I can reset this autonumber so that it may look like this:
Ex: DEA-AAA-1, DEA-AAA-2, DEA-AAA-3, DEA-ABC4, etc.
Hi,
I have a autonumber function in my form, but i have deleted all the records and want to start again but the autonumber has not reset back to 1, is there a way to do this??
Thanks in advance.
I have an inventory split database. It has been working fine. I noticed when I try to enter a new record, it will not let me as it would create a duplicate record. It has actually started to use the autonumbers in the pk again reusing numbers that already exist starting at 1 and moving up sequentially.
How can I make it continue from where it left off or at least not duplicate any of the existing records. This database has many tables with a bunch of relationships.
Thanks!

Anyone know how to reset the autonumber for access ? Cox It keep running the number and I just seem can't make it back.
Also if there is some records which mistaken keyin I deleted it keep go for next new number. It would be a waste for that number.
:confused: :confused: :confused:
Is it possible to set autonumer to start from 1 again after all records in a database have been deleted?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two fields
1. Month (date field that shows only the current month only, ex: 04)
2. ItemNumber (created autonumber using =Dmax("ID","Table")+1 to retrieve the number from the previous record)
What I would like to do is everytime the current month changes I want the ItemNumber to reset to one.
I tried an If statement in the on current of the form
If Month <> Date() Then
ItemNumber = 1
Else
ItemNumber = Null
However it resets for every new record created, which by the code makes sense. Is there any way to have do this one time until the change of date or is there another way to go?
Hi I am trying to make a database, In which I have a table linked with the form.
There are two fields in the table 1.Serial Number & 2. Current Year
I want the serial No. field to be incremented after every record is added & Also the numer should start from "1" again as the Current Year Changes.
Can somebody help me in this.
I am learning new things in access & not that proficient. But i love to work in access.
We need to reset the autonumber after the last record is deleted.
For example:
2006
2007
2008
if 2008 gets deleted, we want the autonumber to reset back to 2008 rather than move to 2009.
Is this possible? This is the code we are using but cannot get the string to recognize the variable. If the variable is replaced with a number, it works, but it defeats the purpose of adding the plus 1 to the last autonumber.
Code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim RLMax As Integer
Dim Statement As String
RLMax = DMax("[id]", "Table1")
RLMax = RLMax + 1
strSQL = "Alter table table1 Alter Column Id Autoincrement(RLMax,1)"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
End Sub
I realize we don't want to depend on the autonumber for anything other than a row identifier, but the table is setup that it is important for the rows to be sequential if the last record is deleted. Only if the last record is deleted.
I have a Microsoft Access database with SQL Server backend with 10000 records in my table, I have a autonumber field and in my database the purpose of the autonumber field is just to keep the record sequence (not to treat as a unique identifier) and I don't want to use a number field to manually enter the sequence. Whenever the record is deleted or the user won't save the record, it put gaps in the record sequence, Is there any way to refresh the autonumbers automatically "After delete confirm" event or "After Insert/update" even.
View 13 Replies View RelatedSo 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...
I need to reset the autonumber each time I delete/append records in a table. Best way?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.
In my DataBase I want to reset the the records back to the first record. The only way to reset is to exit the form tehn go back in. Is there another way?

Hi all,
Ive written a program in .net and am currently using an access db as the backend.
In the db I had 200 test records which i deleted to get the db ready for deployment. When i add a new record now the primary key on my "booking" table carries on from the old test number so 201.
Can I resest this so it starts back at #1 as once the db gets updated, the program i wrote then takes the data and updates the accounting system and uses the primary key as the invoice number and so I would like to start at 1.
Thanks in advance
Scott

I'm building a form for a clinic.
Insured patients have deductables and copays that usually reset on January 1st.
To be clear, a deductable of $500 is reduced each time the patient pays, but jumps back to $500 at the beginning of the next year.
The table containing patient records has a deductable field, where the form gets the initial value. I'll be making a running calculation of how much remains after each visit, but that calculation has to start over again each year.
Can anyone suggest code to do this or point me at something similar?

Access 2007.. I have a check box in a form that I wish to reset using a command button. How do I achieve this or is there a more efficient way to make this happen?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a cumlative DB that exports a file daily based on what was keyed daily..
Therfore, every day I am sending only new records from the DB to a vendor.
I was using autonumber to assign the record number but they now want the record number to restart at 1 for a new days worth of data entry.
So today's file may have record number 1-10 (10 recs) and tomorrow's file would have 11-20 populated om the record number field.
My new record number would have to be 1-10 today and 1-10 tomorrow etc..
Not sure how to do this easily.
thanks!!!
I am currently working on a db to handle our FMLA time. I keep a continous form that totals the time used and subtracts that from the starting amount. One year after the time is used their total should grow. I am looking for some code that will not calculate any record that has a date beyond one year from the current date.

I have the following event procedure in my Reset button on my form:
Private Sub cmdClearAll_Click()
' Clear All TextBoxes and Set all Check boxes to false (no tick)
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then
ctl.Value = ""
ElseIf ctl.ControlType = acCheckBox Then
ctl.Value = False
End If
Next ctl
Set ctl = Nothing
End Sub
I also have a macro on my execute button which opens another form, Form B, runs the query behind the new form and closes the query.
I noticed that when I open my current form, Form A, click the reset button to clear all the fields and then fill in a few fields or leave the fields blank and then click the Execute button. The query does not run at all and Form B opens up blank with no data populated. Do you know why? But if close the form and reopen it and click the execute button, it works okay? Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.
I have a form I have created used to inventory items on trailers.
User enters the trailer number, uses labeled checkboxes to indicate items on the trailer. I then added a save button to update the trailer database.
Now what I want it to do is clear all the checkboxes so a new number can be entered an start the process over for a new trailer.
Ive added this command to the save button.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub save_datta_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_save_datta_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
Exit_save_datta_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_save_datta_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_save_datta_Click
End Sub
Im trying but I am in over my head.

I have an unbound form with an option group among several other controls. I also have a "Clear" command button which resets the form and removes any entries in any controls.
How can I reset the value of an option group (with check boxes) so that none of the options are selected? VB does not allow me to assign values to either of the options independently.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
