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 cleared a table of records and need to restart (at one) the autonumber field. I used the instructions found on on-line help but they will not reset the field back to one. Any one have a solution. I have even deleted the field and created a new one with the same name and it started with the same value it would hav used before I deleted any records.
I have a form that I use to collect selection criteria for reports. The controls on the form are combo boxes and date fields. After I run the report, I would like all of the fields on the form to be cleared of the selected values that were used to run the previous report. I have tried the 'repaint' method but it does not work.
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.
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 make table query that deletes the old table every time the new one is made. However every time the new table is made it resets the field property for the “Date” field to “Text” rather than “Date/Time”
Does anyone know how I can avoid this problem please?
I’ve tried an update query but Access won’t allow me to perform the sum function that I require the actual query to perform. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
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.
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)
What am I doing wrong that I cannot get this to work?
I have a table with Patient Details - the Primary key being called PatientID and this is an Autonumber.
I then have a table called Episode Details. I want them to be linked via the PatientID. When I set up the forms however, it won't work.(Relationship PatientID - PatientID one to many)
I think it is something to do with the Autonumber but can't work out what...
I have made a form with various text-boxes, radio-buttons and other controls on it. The form is not bound to a table or query: I'm just using the form as a data-gathering device for my VBA code. After the user has entered the data I want to use a button to reset the boxes and controls to the way they were when the form was openened, ie as though the user closed the form down and re-opened it again. I know I can do this by resetting the .value of each control back to its default, but there's about 30 controls to reset! Is there not something like "forms!main.reset" that just resets all the controls a form back to their default values, clears out text boxes, etc etc as though the user has closed & reopened the form?
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. Prodigy.
So, basically my database has quite a number of lookup fields in tables as there is much repeated data, each one references to a seperate table with an autonumber field (ID) and a text field (Value)
Currently I have column one (ID) as the bound column in such cases, as this is what the guy who started me on access said to do, and it's fine until I try and export any query with such a field to Excel.
I have found, through experimentation, that setting the 2nd column (Value) as the bound column allows me to export the values rather than numbers, but I don't know if this is a sensible thing to do? (ie, I don't know what other unexpected effects this might have)
Any guidance here would be very welcome, thanks, Bogzla
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?
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.
