auto generate claim no

[SalimShahzad]

Dear Gurus,

i had written following codes to auto generate the next claim no

Private Const strC = "GCT/02/J/"
Private Sub Command1_Click( )
Dim stra, stre As String
Dim intb, intd As Integer
Dim strd As String
stra = "200"
intb = Val(stra) + 1
intd = Len(CStr(intb))
stre = String(4 - intd, "0") & CStr(intb)
MsgBox strC & stre
End Sub

now the issue is that based on last claim no. when the forms load, we
wants to generate a new no and insert table/add as new record. say we
have serial

GCT/02/J/001,GCT/02/J/002,GCT/02/J/003...SO ON so the new ID will be
GCT/02/J/004
so can any one put highlights how to do this...

regards,
shahzad

Hi,

BTW - with the above, you'll declare stra and intb as variants. Your way is
feasible with i.e. VB.Net but not with VBA/VB...6. There you'll have to
define each variable even if they're delimited by a comma, as in:

Dim stra As String, stre As String
Dim intb As Integer, intd As Integer

Basically, I'd solve that with something like this:

Function getNext(ByVal strLast As String) As String
Dim strLeaveAlone As String
Dim intNextNo As Integer
strLeaveAlone = Left(strLast, Len(strLast) - _
InStr(1, StrReverse(strL ast), "/") + 1)
intNextNo = CInt(Mid(strLas t, Len(strLeaveAlo ne) + 1))
getNext = strLeaveAlone & Format(intNextN o + 1, "000")
End Function

The above will use the last occurance of "/" to find the numeric part.
You might also want to check out the split-function (in your case,
split(strLast, "/")(3) would give you the numeric part at the end) which is
available from A2K on (as is the strReverse-function).

I use this to generate the numbers for one of my control logs
since it is a string value you can modify it easily to store the
"GCT/02/J/"

These two functions are in a module Named SerialNumber

Public Function nextNumber() As String
Dim nextSerial As Long
nextSerial = DMax("[CtrlNumber]", "tblSource" ) + 1
nextNumber = nextSerial
End Function

Public Function nextLogNbr() As String
nextLogNbr = nextNumber() & "-" & Right(Year(Date ), 2)
End Function

The data entry form for tblSource onLoad event is
DoCmd.GoToRecor d , , acNewRec

The data entry form for tblSource uses Three text boxes to record the
log number data, all have auto tab and tab stop set to no

a text box with the
control source = CtrlNumber
default value =nextNumber()
visable no

The LogNumber Text box
Control source = MstrLogNum
Default Value = nextLogNbr()
visable no

An unbound Text box
Control source
Default Value = nextLogNbr()
visable yes
Background color same as the form background
style flat

this allows the user to see the number (it looks like a lable but
should they click on it and type any data into it it has no effect on
the table.
