We have a part numbering system that is currently like this, 11Y22 where 22 increments by one until it gets to 99 where it then goes back to 0, once it goes to 0 the letter increments to Z in this case, now once the last three characters get to Z99, then the 11 gets incremented eg, 11Z99 will become 12A00. Hope that is clear :)
My question is, can this system be implemented into the auto numbering in Access?:confused:
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to start auto numbering from a number other than 0? Say 2000 for example.
Thanks in advance

can I make a field that can auto-number which the format that I want??
As I know that there is two format for auto-number
but I don't like them
I want to number my own format
like
XXX-YYYYMM-ZZZZ
XXX is the category number that would be selected in the form connecting to table
YYYYMM is the date year and month
ZZZZ is another auto numbering
Can I do so
How do I get a auto Number to start a 1001?

If I have taken a program to creat a new program......I have cleared all the tables and what not. When I enter my first record in the auto format number starts at 963....... How do I get this starting back at zero?
thanks
Not sure as to whether or not this query shoulsd go here or else where? But here is the problem. I have been asked to repair a database that has lost the autonumbering facility. Apparently this was caused by somebody leaving the database open when the network crashed.
Each team can access the database via forms but now when the team responsible for registring new pieces of work tries to enter a new piece of work the autonumber reverts to one already within the database.
I was told that the only fix to this problem was the DMax function which I am unfortunatley not familar with. Can anyboby explain how to go abouit this and where it should be used.
*I know that this may not be the best way of resolving the problem but this is not the actual problem but my way to simplify of explaining the "problem".
I have a Table with 3 fields.
Field 1 - Auto Number
Field 2 - First Name
Field 3 - Last Name
Initially, the Table was sorted via First Name,
but now, there is a change in requirement to sort by Last Name.
Next requirement is to number (Auto Number) according to the Last Name.
Current Sorted via First Name
Auto Number - First Name - Last Name
1 - Ben - Young
2 - Chuck - Norris
3 - Dennis - Johnson
4 - Ernest - Anderson
If sorted via Last Name
4 - Ernest - Anderson
3 - Dennis - Johnson
2 - Chuck - Norris
1 - Ben - Young
Desired result
to Sorted via Last Name & (Auto Number) via sort.
Auto Number - First Name - Last Name
1 - Ernest - Anderson
2 - Dennis - Johnson
3 - Chuck - Norris
4 - Ben - Young
Is there a way to do renumber / resort the auto number this?
*I have thousands of records....
Although there are few records in my database, the auto-numbering started at 45. So I deleted all the records so I could start from zero but it still happens. I checked all the properties of that field both in the form and the table itself and I can't find the problem. Any ideas would be most appreciated. :confused:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was entering records using a form and all was well until suddenly the autonumbering went from 7 to 14! I went into the table and deleted #14 and tried it again - same thing happened.

I have a query on a timer that basically looks at a linked table every minute and tells me whose in the database. I want to number the rows in a column so I can reference this to a form that has 7 spaces. The number of 'users' could vary from 0 - 23, although this will soon be limited to 7 (hence the 7 spaces) to aid performance and speed. I am then going to reference the number to the unbound space on the form, iif(isnull()) 'ing the blank cells so it isnt an error.
I thought of an append query, but the sequence will always start at the next number, not from 1 each time - or as far as im aware it will - so I cant reference the cell then.
Can any one help please.
I have a Chart of Numbers (range) that corresponds to a specific event
Event 1: 1000000000-1999999999
Event 2: 2000000000-2999999999
.... up to...
Event 9: 9000000000-9999999999
When they select Event 1 in the form I would like it to generate a unique Identifier within the range that Event 1's fall into. It would be an incremental increase for each Event 1 enterered. The same for the other 9 events.
The Event #'s are a quick and dirty way of knowing what type of event has taken place without reading any of the description. It is a requirement for this and I have no way around the Event #.
Is there a way to reset the auto numbering? I import new data then archive the old data. As I do this weekly my auto numbers are getting high and my users do not care for this aspect
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 5 copies of a database that 5 users enter data into (including Pre, Post and Follow-Up information). These users send me their database quarterly and I am suppose to merge the data into one database from which to run reports, etc.
The problem comes in with the auto-numbering. Each "Pre" table has an ID that is auto-numbered. This auto-number is also stored when a corresponding "Post" (or follow-up form) is entered so that we can be sure the pre-, post- and follow-up are all linked to the same individual. When I merge the data, they are reassigned ID numbers in the Pre (while the Post still has the original Pre ID number) so now I've lost the link as to one individual's pre, post and follow-up form.
I realize now that the database shouldn't have been built this way, but is there any way to work around this. I've even tried exporting all of the rows for each of the 5 users into Excel and then importing them into Access in a new table (just so I could have the ease of running queries) but I seem to be getting errors doing that as well.
Any ideas?

How could let me get auto invoice number.... like press Button or combo box??
Here we got some related info: 10 customers, each I'd like to get invoice number with their own prefix, example ICP, CUC and etc...
Then, I would like numbering to be incremental from each customer, mean: CUC001, CUC002, then, ICP001, CUC003 and so on...
When I need to put these invoice number into Data Entry table which like below:
Load Date>>Customer>>Particular>>Quantity>>invoice No
1/Jan/2014>>ICP>>part A>>100>>ICP001
3/Jan/2014>>ICP>>part B>>200>>ICP001
5/Jan/2014>>CUC>>part C>>50>>CUC001
18/Jan/2014>>CUC>>part B>>200>>CUC001
23/Jan/2014>>ICP>>part C>>50>>ICP001
I could not use 'Auto Numbering' for each line, as I need out some lines accumulated for one invoice number 'ICP001'.
My questions:
1. What can I do to let me Automatic generate invoice number which increment from last number?
2. What can I do to let me easy to put those 'invoice number' into my Data Entry table's invoice number field? (p/s: Append Query? Update Query?)
3. What if I need sorting (example to group ONE customer and ONE Particular) for my invoicing number? What I meant is ... let say there is 30 lines customer CUC with particular Part B in a same month, and I wanna get them into same invoice number.
My ID field is an auto-assigned number. Is there any way to restart the auto-numbering at number 1?

Greetings everubody,
I've a problem and hope to get answers for,
The situation is that I have a table named patient and a form named [patient1] where it holds a textboxs named "MFC_Seq_no" and another to hold [date], now, I manged to do a manual auto numbering for "MFC_Seq_no" using the following VB :
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.NewRecord Then
On Error Resume Next
Me!MFC_Seq_no.DefaultValue = Nz(DMax("[MFC_Seq_no]", "Patient"), 0) + 1
End If
Whenever user create new record, the system will automatically store the next number in the new record.
Now, I've be requested to code that system to start again from 1 as value for "MFC_Seq_no" whenever there are changes in date field (i.e. next day in the date field)
Is this doable and how?

I have created quite a substantial and effective database for a small gliding club with all the major data tables being linked. I need to be able to re-index tables periodically so that running totals, which are needed to calculate statement balances, works correctly - all well and good. The only problem is that the process of re-indexing requires the data in the main table to be stored temporarily and the original data deleted. When the temporary data is appended to the main table the auto-numbering just keeps clocking up.how to reset the auto-numbering in a local table.

I have a column with a heading EventNo.
The Event number must be 06-00000 The first 2 digits is the year.
In the Input Mast I have - 00/-00000 and the Default value set as 06-00000
How can I set it up so it can go to 07-00000,08-00000 and so on for next years? The Event number must start at 00001 every year.
It will be impossible to change the default value every year.
Hi I obviously have a table with records in it sorted in assending order. What I need is to know how to make it add into one of the table fields the number it is in the table. IE
Name Time Position Number
Mr Jones - 12:30 - 1
Mr Evans - 12:45 - 2
So if i added 12:35 it would change mr evans position number to 3 and make the new record position number 2.
Is there a way I can number records like 00001 , 00002 ...... 00100 .. . .. ..
