Modules & VBA :: Automate Generation Of Reference Number Incrementally By 1
Jul 29, 2013
I am trying to automate the generation of a reference number incrementally by 1.
In my main table (tblBooking) I have my primary key field autBookingID which is an autonumber.
In another table (tblBookingStops) I have the primary key as autBookingStopsID as the autonumber and then numBookingID linked to the above table (tblBooking). I have another field called txtGPSID so this is the number I would like to automate.
So for example:
tblBooking:
autBookingID: 1234
tblBookingStops:
[Code]....
I want to put the code that would populate the txtGPSID on a form in datasheet view and would like to put the code on the load event.
Dont quite know if this is the right place to post this but here goes any way
Im creating a database where customers can submit a question, it centres around a form where a user enters various information such as initials, telephone number, and various selections from from down boxes.
I have placed a button at the bottom that saves the record, what i want is when that button is pressed for a box to pop up giving the user a unique reference number which is made up of the information they have entered, such as FIRSTINITIAL-LASTINITIAL-DATE-INCREMENTALNUMBER I want this number then to be stored along with the record so it can be searched for by this number.
I have done searches for similar questions but cant find one that matches what i want to do
Using Access 2007..I have a table where the RecordID is an autonumber, and PK.To set this table up I have a load routine, (becuase I have done this multiple times for testing and further deveopment and I compact and repair the DB prior to loading) - the 690 records are correct numerically and autonumbered.This table has transactional data where existing records are updated and new records are appended.
I found the autonumber was not incrementally increasing - so no reseed the auto number (using ALTER TABLE 3IWSPLans ALTER COLUMN RecordID COUNTER (1000,1)) prior to starting the transactions.
New transactions will append correctly, up untill I amend a existing record (using a delete and append query via a staging table) - then the autonumber tries to reuse a number already in the table and because its not unique it errors.why the auto-number is not incrementally increasing correctly
I just came across a problem that I didn't recognize before. I had an invoice table and corresponding form that had an autonumber for the invoice number. The problem now is that I would like the invoice number to begin at 256 and then increase incrementally, because I had some previous invoices from my books. How to go about doing this.
Im trying to create a document register in Access 97 to create and track document numbers, for this i want to assign a 6 number unique id to each record starting at 000001 going up in order to 999999 which will form part of a unique docuement number ...i know this may be a really easy thing to do but can anyone tell me how?
I have this query: SELECT UNIT.Code, Rnd() AS Expr1 FROM UNIT;
The problem is that in the Expr1 field all the numbers are the same. I would like to have random numbers that are different for each record (generate new random number for each record)
I want Access to automatically generate a reference number for a record based on the values in on two other fields for a given record using a form.
The first field is called Operation Number.
The second is Bag Number.
The reference number needs to be in this format: 19C.3.1
Where 19C is the Operation Number, 3 is the bag number, and 1 is automatically generated. Additionally I need the last number --the automatically generated one--to go back to 1 if with each new bag number.
This is kind of like library catalog numbers. Not sure how to do this.
I want to input a number value in [field1], then i want [field2] to generate an auto number BUT i want it to increase based on [field1] THEN combine them into [field3] creating a unique SKU for every item I have.
EXAMPLE1: I will type in [field1]: "001234". [field2]will enter "000001" because it is the first occurrence of "001234" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "001234-00001" EXAMPLE2: I will type in [field1]: "002468". [field2]will enter "000001" because it is the first occurrence of "002468" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "002468-00001" EXAMPLE3: I will type in [field1]: "001234". [field2]will enter "000002" because it is the second occurrence of "001234" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "001234-00002"
I have a query where I need to incrementally count the repetition of column values and add that value in a new column.
Example: "Column One" and "RepeatCounter" are fields in a query.
Column OneRepeat Counter Value 11 Value 21 Value 31 Value 12 Value 13 Value 32
I want to create the outcome in the field "Counter" in an Access Query. I am a novice in Access VBA. I found I can do it in Excel with the formula CountIF. I am unable to do it in Access.
I have a Paycheck form with a subform on it. The goal is to not have to click on the check field for every paycheck, instead use a Batch procedure. When you click in the subform (field) (CCheckNo) which gets the focus by default it advances to the next check number and performs other code operations. If you have a lot of checks this is not very user friendly. I created a command button on the subform to try and auto ate this process. Below is the code for this. It gives no errors but does nothing. The db is very complex. The form opens to the first record but can't be sure when the user could run the Batch procedure.
The idea was to try and use the OnClick procedure to run the event code. The field in question is CCheckNo which advances the check number.
frmBonusReimbursementChecks is the Main form. (Check) form is a Subform CCheckNo field gets focus on Load which is the Subform.
Code Below is on a Command Button on the Subform.
If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to Assign All Checks?", vbYesNo, "All Checks Confirmation") = vbYes Then End If If IsNull(Me.CCheckDate) Then 'If no Check Date, Assign One. Me.CCheckDate = Date End If If IsNull(Me.[CCheckNo]) Then 'Advance to the next available Check Number. Me.CCheckNo = Next_Custom_Counter
The title probably doesn't give an idea of what I need, so here goes.
We currently have reference #'s for our bills that include the date requested in mmddyy format, the first 3 letters of the customer, the initials of the order taker and finally a sequential number to show the sumber of bills that day.
example: 120705SEAGMM02 2nd order taken by GMM for Seagate on 12/7 120705SEARLH01 1st order taken by RLH for Seagate on 12/7
I want to generate this number automatically based on the date entered and the initials given of the user. We only deal with one customer at our desk so that will always be "SEA".
I have a query that generates the first portion (date, customer, and initials):
SELECT Format([REQDATE],"mm") AS [Month], Format([REQDATE],"dd") AS [Day], Format([REQDATE],"yy") AS [Year], Format([REQDATE],"mmddyy") AS [Both], [Both] & "SEA" & [PickUpReqData]![INITIALS] AS REFNO FROM PickUpReqData;
But I can't seem to get my head around the part of generating the number. I know I had done this in a database I created 2 jobs ago but all my files were flooded out in Katrina. (I have since relocated to Atlanta, although I'm not looking for sympathy. But I will take what I can get!)
Anything to point me in the right direction will be appreciated. I am looking to have this on a form and feed the REFNO field in the PickUpReqData table.
I do not want to use AutoNumber to generate my Stock Control Number. I need to somehow automatically generate a number so that when I enter data and then make an error it does not mess up the numbering system like AutoNumber does.
I am a novice who is will to try to do what it takes to get this going properly. I cant find anything online relating to Access 2010.
My primary key, RefNumber, is a sequentual Autonumber field. I want to creat my own Custommade autonumber field, but the catch is: My autonumber field should have any of the following (selectable by the user from a combo box from a Form) attached in front of the number: DPR,DPZ,DFE,DGL,DMI,DGJ or DPE. ie: the autonumber is at 14. The user selects DFE, but this is only the seconde choice made of DFE.
So the end product should be: RefNumber = 14 .........................................DistrictR efNumber = DFE2 or DFE002
Hi, very new to Access and wanted to check something was possible before i proceed with it,
basically i want to assign a reference number to my records automatically based on data that has been entered by the user, looking something like this
AE/13MAY07/01
AE is a standard thing and will never change.
13MAY07 is 13th May 2007, which is a date which has been entered by the user for when a specific piece of work is to start. There will be a Yes/No box next to where they enter the date saying whether or not they want a new reference number assigned. If they select Yes, the reference number will be populated with the date specified.
01 will be a number which goes up in increments of 1 based on the MAY07 detail. The number will start at 01 for every month/year, eg
MAY07/01 MAY07/02
JUN07/01 JUN07/02
MAY08/01 MAY08/02
Hope someone can understand what im trying to do and can help.
I'm making a document control database where the a unique reference number is automatically generated from 2 tables and updates a 3rd table.
xxxx or yyyy/lookup in 2 table/autonumber
I have been trying to do this is a form but because the control sauce is a calculation 'Text1&Text2&Text3' I am unable to update the 3rd table with the combined reference number.
I have limited knowledge particularly of VBA coding
I use a macro (SendObject), which works, but it requires Us, or someone to go into Outlook to click on send.I'm new to vba, do I have to code something on outlook to send automatically?
I am new to this and i may be going about this the wrong way but what i am doing seems to do the job until now.
I am making a form that has a combo box, a few text boxes and a subform subreport on it.
The idea is that the first thing a user does is to select a name form the combo box. this name is then stored as a sring and used to set the forms record source and then the subform's (called window) source object. the string is slightly modified during the process to do this. That part works fine.
The problem arose when i included text boxes to show infomation from the selected Query thatisant show in the window (subform).
After the user selects a name and the name is used to set up the record source and the source object for the text boxes.it then displays in the text boxes the records extra data. however it only displays the first row extra data.And when other rows in the query table are selected the data in the text box stays set as the first row.
I know that this is because i haven't programed in an event that makes the text box data update when the user selects a new row.
i also realise that i would need to have some way of know what row of the quiery table the user is looking at to be able to update the text boxes.
my questions are
Is there a way to tell what row of a query table in the subform is selected ?
Is there an event similar to on selection of row or something like that that i could use to reload the text boxes?
how to create a Report with Customize Reference No. Reference Number should be continuously adding 1 count every time a user will print report. example:
On dec 16, morning..... reference no: THS-01 (1st print) dec 16, afternoon...reference no: THS-02 (2nd print) dec 17 morning.....reference no: THS-03 (3rd print) dec 18 morning.....reference no: THS-04 (4th print) etc....
THS-XX is my reference number and it will continuously counting. Is this possible in MS Access 2007 Report? If Yes? How can i do it?
I have a query which gets information from 2x tables where the I'd on one table is the reference number on the second table.I would like to know how I can remove the duplicates on my reference number field?
I have a large database of items we sell on Amazon, I am looking to automate the process of uploading the inventory.
I am uploading a tab delimeted text file using the following code,
With CreateObject("msxml2.xmlhttp") .Open "POST", strURL, False .setRequestHeader "Host:", "mws.amazonservices.co.uk" .setRequestHeader "User-Agent:", "VBA" .setRequestHeader "Content-MD5:", md5hdr2 .setRequestHeader "Content-Type:", "text" .send c2a Forms!Form1.Text3.value = .responseText End With
I am confident I have the signature and the MD5 Header, but I cannot get the data into Amazon!
I keep getting a non-descript error "InputDataError".
When debugging my Play API, I was told that the "send" command was not uploading the file contents, it was uploading the filename! So c2a is a string variable that contains the tab delimited data. This works like a charm for Play, but no joy for Amazon.
Need to generate a unique reference number each record wise while data entering by a form. How to do this by using a command button ? After entering all fields related to the record, when click on the command button, unique reference number for that record need to be generated and save with all other data of the records. in a later event, need to recall the record by using this reference number and also need to make relation ship with some other table by using the reference number.
I have made a database for a repair workshop, where you book in and book out repairs.
I am having a problem as we need to make a Dispatch Note daily with a list of all booked out repairs for that day and for that branch.
This is all working so far. However, we need to generate a reference number using AutoNumber (Wshop0001, Wshop0002, etc) and keep a record of this - how can this be done with keeping ONE reference number per day per branch?
what is the best way to import the data from the XML file into an access database table. The database I am working with has one large main table where all of the main record data is stored. There is a somewhat complex string of queries and reports based off this table that I am concerned about preserving. The problem is that the XML file is not structured in the same way the table is. The headings are named different, aren't in the same order, etc. I cannot use the import method and simply append it to the main table.After much searching around I have found two options:
1) Use the built in XML import method that access provides to create a secondary table. Then find a way to take data from individual fields in the second table and map and insert it into a new record in the main table.I already have the import part of this option working. The only part I can't seem to understand is how to take data from the second table and get it into a new record in the main table under the correct headings
2) Read the data from the XML file all at once and then map and insert it into the main table.I have not attempted this yet. I was having a hard time understanding how to retrieve the data from the XML file in the first place.
So.. which would be better/easiest to automate (most likely via button click on a form)? I only have a small understanding of VBA and even less understanding of anything XML.
