Modules & VBA :: Auto Numbers When Priority Change
Jul 3, 2014
I have a very basic application to manage the tasks. In the main form "Tasks" one of the field is the priority (Order by) and I have this example:
Task Priority
B 1
A 2
C 3
E 4
D 5
If the user change one priority, I need a code to automatically change the others too respecting the new priority order. For example if the user change the priority 3 to 1 for the task C, the other numbers have to change to become:
I have 2 fields that I would like to automate if possible
One field is called "p/o number" and another field called "line no"
These fields are part of an ordering database
Let say I have 200 items to purchase form 10 suppliers
And form example 20 items from each supplier
What I do at present is put the order number on each line item and the line number
example
p/o number line no
1 1 1 2 1 3
2 1 2 2 2 3 2 4
What I want to do is just put the first po number in the required line . Put the first line number in i.e. "1" and the macro will complete all the p/o numbers and line numbers for me as per the ones marked in red.
I have used priamry keys in my tables and these are set to auto numbers on the advise of fellow forumites.
One question if at the end of every year I need to upload batches of data to my tables, this would mean I would need to go through each record and manually enter the foreign keys in the linked table.
Surely Access has a better way of dealing with this issue?
I have a field for SSN. If the SSN has a 0 or 00 as the first numbers it auto deletes those numbers. Is there a way in access that when the record is visible the 0's are relpaced so that the SSN will read the 9 digit. Also i have another fiels EIN with 7 digits an i need for there to be 2 9's in the beginning. I was goingto use vba but when i go to yp it i only get .value <
Code: Me.SSN.Value
Value is tho only option to get. IDK y it does this or how to get it to shop if there is a ay.
Ineed to track Trailer security seals that are sequentially numbered with 8 digit numbers...They are physical seals and no efile with the numbers to upload into Access...is there a way I can put in a range and Access will populate the rest in a table?
I have an Access DB with a VB 6.0 front-end. I have a table with a PK that uses an auto-number. I deleted from data from this table in the past, then re-added it back in again just now. However, now when I go to enter a record in this table from the VB executable, I am getting an error for duplicate keys--as the auto-number tries to use a number that already exists. This happens when I just enter a record directly in the table in the DB also.
I would like to expand on this questions. I would like to generate a number based on a reference I use, a format like "14/000" where I use "14" with the last 2 digits of the year. However i want the auto number to generate the the last 2 digit automatically when the year changes i.e. when 2015 comes the field generates "15/000" without any prompt from the user.
I have inherited an Access DB that is supposed to be kept "alive" but not made much better. On a weekly basis I get an Excel CSV that I'm supposed to import into one massive table; that works just fine.
However, there is another query that takes values from a table named "New Users From Import Table" and appends them to the current "User" table.
But before running that query I have to manually update a field called "Display Name ID" with the next highest number from the User table but only the highest value that isn't in the 9000 number range.
For example, my next highest "Display Name ID" is 1144, which of course does not include the records that range between 9000 - 9008.
I had to manually enter 89 "Display Name ID" values yesterday and I know there has to be a way to update that field when I pull the data over from the temp table without having to do it all manually.
Here's the query that pulls the data into the "User" table (after I've manually entered the incremented values).
INSERT INTO Users ( [Display Name ID], [User Type], Organization, [Display Name], [Alias Name] ) SELECT [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name ID], [New Users From Import Table].[User Type], [New Users From Import Table].Organization, [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name], [New Users From Import Table].[Alias Name] FROM [New Users From Import Table];
how to auto increment one field based on the value in another field. What I have is a table with six fields. There is a foreign key assigned to each record and linked to another table. Four fields in this table are number fields indicating accordingly a number for a category, a number for a subcategory, a number for a subject for a subcategory and a number for an instruction for each subject of subcategory. The last field is the text field for each instruction. Numbers are required to be included in the report. Also, number of categories, subcategories, subjects and instructions vary by each record in the the table which this table is linked to. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have numbers in the subcategory to auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the category field, numbers for each subject field would auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the subcategory field, and numbers in the instructions field to auto increment for each number in the subject field starting, again, with "1". I also need these numbers to restart with "1" for each new record in another table.
(if the record in another table is a new/next table)and so forth..I have been looking for anything that could remotely work for me. Every VBA code I've tried is either don't work the way I need it to work, other codes making the field to continue increment numbers if the number already exists in the other field.
I have the auto ID number set up set up on my Access database which gives me membership numbers. How do I have a supplementary auto numbering column to give me invoice numbers. You used to be able to do this automatically up until a few years ago. Now I have to enter them manually.
I have a table, at the table I'v got these fields:
ID | num1 | num2 | sum
I want that the user put numbers at 'num1' and 'num2' fields and then the 'sum' field will calculate automatically the operator (sum=num1+num2).
I've tried to put any combination at 'Default value' of the sum field (all the fields are numbers , also tried to change the sum field to text...nothing works).
I'm getting a message that 'num1' field is not recognize at the table
(I tried =[num1]+[num2], without the '=', num1.table+num2.table , ...nothing works)
I also tried to do it with SQL command but it dosn't work.
There is any way to do it, is it possible? Or other way to do it at least at Form or at Report ?
I know how to setup a Replica's Priority, but where do I go if I want to change it afterwards? I have searched everywhere, or am I just supposed to create another replica and set it then?
I found this from different fourm by searching google. This is exactly what I need to do and the answer was given; however, I can't figure it out. Can someone please post a step by step instruction on how to complete the following.
Thank you!
Question
I have a datbase full of projects that must be ranked in priority order. This was simple enough but when I add a project I will likely need to change the priority rank of all the "lesser" projects. With over 500 projects adding a new project with a rank of 50 means changing all the ranks 50 and above. I want to be able to add a project and when I determine its rank I insert the rank number and every rank equal to the project just added is the indexed by 1 digit. No two project can be ranks the same, one is always more important than another.
Answer
Create an update query that sets the priority field to:
Private Sub cboOrderLocation_AfterUpdate() If Me!cboOrderLocation = "Paradigm" Then Me!txtOrderLocation = "PA" Me!txtExpressAddress = "Paradigm Address" Me!imgSelect = "LogoSmall.jpg" ElseIf Me!cboOrderLocation = "Unassigned" Then Me!txtOrderLocation = "NA" Me!txtExpressAddress = "Not Assigned" ElseIf Me!cboOrderLocation = "Express" Then Me!txtOrderLocation = "EX" Me!txtExpressAddress = "Slover Address" Me!imgSelect = "LogoSmallParadigm.jpg" End If End Sub
The Me!txtOrderLocation and Me!txtExpressAddress both work great! I want to have it change the logo / image the same way. Is this possible? If so can someone tell me or show me how? I created an image on the form with the name imgSelect but when I compile it of course is giving me an error.
I have been asked if I can add a priority list to my database and I am trying to figure out how to do it.
The database already exists and this would be added code/forms. Basically this database has a number of users, all identified by a login name. Each of these users have several projects assigned to them. The projects are identified by a unique project number.
What I need to do is to be able to list all the projects that a user has, which is easy to do by simply creating a query, but then the user needs to be able to type in a priority number (1 to infinity) for each of these projects with no number repetitions. If a project priority is updated, say from 6 to 2, then the projects that had priorities 2 to 5, get a +1 added to their priority number so they go 3 to 6. Likewise if a project gets "demoted" (priority is lowered) then the ones below go up one.
I have just upgraded my large client database from Access 97 to Access 03. Unfortuntely all date of birth prior to 1930 are being displayed as 20??. IE date of birth 1928 displays 2028. Is there any way to automatically change this without altering the input mask and changeing each record individually. I have approx 15000 on the database, so not looking forward to doing it manually. Any suggestions appreciated.
I have a form where sales can be entered. Whenever a [salesdate] is entered, I would like the [status] to automatically change to "Sold". How can I go about doing this?

Can I change the primary key currently set to my products description to an auto number? I'm trying to make things right, also does the foreign key get an auto number?
I set the initial sort by two columns, but I would like to keep highest priority for that initial sort, so when user wants to sort by some other columns that sort happens inside my initial sort.
