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 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.
I created a database for my parents last summer and it has worked perfectly for a year now, then all of a sudden when they try to add an entry to the database its saying that it can't because it will create a new field.
Turns out my parents have added 45000 entries and it has just randomly reset the autonumber and is trying to add new entries at 25000, now my parents company is in a gridlock till I can figure out what the heck access did!
The autonumber is only used when I need update or delete entries.
Hello there, some help would be nice! Say i have a booking field. If people wanted to book a number of seats, how would i make it so that when the number of seats that was entered on the booking form was entered it would add on to the exsisting number of seats taken?
So say for film A There is 20 seats available and 4 of been booked, then someone wants to book 2 more, how do i make it so now, the number of seats taken shows up as 6 as apposed to 4?
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,
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.
Hi, I am reasonably new to access and i am having a little trouble with what i would expect to be a simple problem to fix.
What i am trying to do is this... I have a table set up to work with an asp web page. each record in the table has a unique ID which is set to autonumber. I also have a field which hold the URL of an image used in the asp file. The address remains the same for all of the records except that the file name it points to increments by one each time. example: the record ID is 173 and the file address is: http://www.berkeley.tv/thumbnails/thumb_173.jpg
Basically, if i could automatically take the ID number and enter it after 'thumb_' it would all work fine.
I have this bit of code in a routine. CustNum is a Numeric field with a number I need to increase by one With the code below It comes always as 1
Set Db = CurrentDb Set rs = Db.OpenRecordset("Miracle_Cloth_Main", dbOpenDynaset) On Error Resume Next rs.AddNew rs!Name = NewData rs!Cust_ID = NewData rs!CustNum = [CustNum] + 1 rs.Update rs.Move 0, rs.LastModified ' Go to new record 'Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark ' Go to new record 'rs.Close
I am new to Access and to the forum. I made a check printing system
table name = 'burgan' form name = 'burgan cheque' Fields = 'PV' and 'cheque' and 'Beneficiary'
I have inserted a button (Command31).The function I would like to add on clicking the button
1. it should chose the highest value in both fields (PV and cheque) 2. Create new record 3. Increment it by 1 (both fields 'PV' and 'cheque') 4. the focus should stand on 'Beneficiary' field.
I need to (accurately) calculate a rental period to fractions of a month. ie) 1/1/2006 to 2/14/2006 would equal 1.5 months. DateDiff("m",[Start],[End]) returns whole months. DateDiff("d",[Start],[End])/30 is very close , but not precise.
Is there a way to accurately calculate fractions of a month?
My access database is used to process vehicle trips. Each shift, a vehicle is assigned a docket number (paper based), and on this docket the driver fills out each trip he/she makes. In a shift (thus on a docket) there may be 5 - 15 trips. I want to create an incrementing number for each trip in a new field - can be created as they are processed or after the fact by looping through the resultant data - whatever is easier.
So in simple terms, return all trips for each docket number then number each trip.
I have a database tracking customers and inventory, and I've tried to add in a feature where I can meet customers needs with future inventory. Key to this process is three tables:
tblCustomer - containing my customer information tblInventory - with inventory data including a part number tblNeeds - a table I've created for this purpose, containing CustomerID and Part Number.
Here's the premise: when speaking with a customer, I may learn they want a product I don't currently have in inventory, or may have never had in inventory, but that I may get in the future. I do this "on demand" in the form of a report, and it works really well ... except:
I have found that several similar products from the same supplier have similar product part numbers. What I would like to do is be able to match my query on a fractional part of the part number. In all cases, the part number would be the same over the first six characters (in a text field). Any ideas how I might do this? In my current query, I use a join, but I can't do that for fractional strings....
I've attached the query I am currently using (and running a bound report from this query):
SELECT DISTINCT tblCustomer.CustID, tblCustomer.CoName, tblInventory.ProductDescription, tblInventory.ProductPartNumber, tblInventory.UnitsAvailable, tblInventory.ProductID FROM tblInventory INNER JOIN (tblCustomer INNER JOIN tblNeeds ON tblCustomer.CustID = tblNeeds.CustomerID) ON tblInventory.ProductPartNumber = tblNeeds.PartNo WHERE (((tblInventory.UnitsAvailable)>0));
And what I want to do is match the tblInventory.ProductPartNumber on the tblNeeds.PartNo by matching only the first six characters....
This is a errand database where each client can have several errands and some errands are related to each one and other.
Since each client can have several errands and and each errand is related to each one and other, then the client. I thought i need key which can work as a ClientErrandID, so i can tie the errands together. My idee is to use the ClientErrandID as an text auto incrementing field with a string like: (Errand-A-xxxx).
Lest say the range would be from (Errand-A-0000 to Errand-A-9999) And when the string hits "9999" at the end the "A" will switch to a "B" and the number counter would start over from "0000"
How should the table relationship look like?When a user is adding a new errand to a client, how should the function work?
Should all the associated errands be created in the background and granted the same Errand_ID when the main errand is created?Can i create a incrementing text field with vba & queries?
How would the code structure look like?Is there any examples on a incrementing text field with code available?
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
Hello- 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)
