Hi, I just a fresh user for the Microsoft Access. I have some question on the forms. I created a form and there is a field name Membership Id. In this field I created using AutoNumber format. I was requested this membership number needed to add also some Area Code and BranchCode infront of it. How could I add this into this membershipID so I could have this few info combine and shown in my form(textlabel) ? :p :p
View RepliesHello,
I have 2 tables.
1) Table A, which is a table of all 100,000 users
2) Table B, which is a table of all other users
I have a query qryA, which looks for everyone in table A with a certain type of job title.
I want to exclude anyone who works for a company that occurs in the table B from showing up in the qryA query.
Any ideas?
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.
Alison.
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and have a question:
I want to create a table with an Autonumber field using a SQL statement,
in Microsoft Access Database, something like this:
Cnn.execute "CREATE TABLE newtable (id Long, Name Char(100)) "
is there something to put in place of "long" to make the field autonumber?
I tried the word "autonumber", but did not work.
Many Thanx.
Hadi.
I have the field called subject_id which is autonumber in the form of 10001,10002,... And I want the field with the same format to appear in another table. But appending it leads to different numbering, i.e. the filed becomes 1, 2, ... instead of 10001, 10002 as I've formatted it in its original table. How could I append/copy such a field?
View 1 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.
Hi All,
I am trying to create a make-table query, with a new AutoNumber field.
I know that if you are creating a new Text field you type FieldName: "" in Field and for a Number field you would type FieldName: [], but what do you type for an AutoNumber field?

I would like to make a join between two field in 2 different tables:
1.) Table with number field for Purchase Order number
2.) Table with text field for customers PO ref (where normally above PO number is entered)
When I link the both I get an error/warning message that the "types in the expression don't match"
Can anyone help me to overcome this problem ??
Thanks
I have three tables that contain different columns but linked by a primary column call Name. I want to create a table where all these different columns in the three tables join to form a master table which can be updated regularly either through the master table or the smaller tables. The master table also has the primary column as Name.
If I update the master table with records, it should update the respective linked table and vice versa. I also want to link these tables to my SharePoint site.
Note: except the Name column, none of these tables have any other columns in common How do I go about this?
I have a table that is basically a survey form. The same series of options was available for 35 questions, and the table used to have a text string written for each answer. Because of all the repetitive data, I created a second table that assigned a number value to each of the nine possible options in these 35 separate fields. What happened is that, instead of the same text strings repeated over and over (and taking up real estate), now each of the 35 columns had a single number in them.
Now comes the day of reckoning and TPTB want a query with the raw data and the original text strings back in instead of the numbers. I was thinking doing something along the lines of a DLookup, but I can't seem to make that work in a query correctly. Apart from calling the same table and linking it over and over to the different fields in the original data table (see photo for how insane that is).
I've been toiling with the issue of WHERE clauses on the "Right" side of Left Joins. I'm aware that you need to use JOIN ON......AND.... rather than JOIN ON....WHERE.... if the WHERE relates to the Right Hand table.
I've even got an example in my DB where the above works, but now am struggling to use the same theory for other tables. Therefore, I went and created two Mickey Mouse tables to test the logic but am getting an error.
I have
Table 1 with one field called Field 1 - values A, B, C
Table 2 as follows
Field 1.....Field 2.......Field 3
A.............100
C.............200..........XXX
I hoped to have a query that finds all records on Table 1 and records on Table 2 where Field 1 matches on the two tables and Field3 = XXX
My SQL is
SELECT Table1.Field1, Table2.Field1, Table2.Field2, Table2.Field3
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.Field1 = Table2.Field1
AND Table2.Field3="XXX";
but I get Join Expression not supported
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

And then called this join as a symbol or variable, and then have it use to select the items from these joined tables, can this be done in Access? Here is an example of a code that I created, but it has an error message saying the FROM syntax is incorrect.
Code:
SELECT firstJOIN.trainID, firstJOIN.trainName, firstJOIN.stationID, firstJOIN.stationName, firstJOIN.distance_miles, firstJOIN.time_mins
FROM (trains INNER JOIN ((station INNER JOIN lineStation ON station.stationID = lineStation.stationID)
INNER JOIN bookingLeg ON bookingLeg.startID = station.stationID or bookingLeg.endID = station.stationID )
ON trains.trainID = bookingLeg.tid) as firstJOIN
Can Access do something similar to this, in the FROM statement I joined 4 tables, because each unique fields are in each table and I have to joined them to get those fields. I called this join firstJOIN and in the SELECT statement, I list those columns in the table by calling it firstJOIN.trainID. Can Access do something like this, but syntax it differently?
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.

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.
I have two tables: Focus and Comp..I want to join these two tables based on field: DwId...For this example, I made a Comp table that has 3 DwId's not present in the Focus table.When I run the below statement, I am not getting the 3 records only present in the Comp table in the result.
SELECT Focus.DwId, Focus.PRD_May2012, Focus.PRD_May2012 - Comp.PRD_May2012 AS PRD_DiffMay2012
FROM Focus RIGHT JOIN Comp ON Focus.DwId = Comp.DwId

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.
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.
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.
