Hi All,
I am writing a program in C, which will be driving via a MS Access database.
I am relitivly new to database design, so if anyone could help me with my
issue I would be greatful.
I have defined a database field to be a primary Key, this field is set to
contain the AutoNumber data type.
I would like to know if it is possible to start the autonumber sequence from
a number other than 0.
Thanks

You can also set the Seed of the Autoincrement column using ADOX if you use
a JET 4 database format.

This SQL will alter your column assuming the column meets the
requirements for autonumber and you are using JET 4.0.
"ALTER TABLE Table1 ALTER COLUMN ID Identity (200,10)"
Notes:
(200, 10) -> seed:200; increment:10
1. You must run the SQL from an OLEDB interface (ADO is a common OLEDB
interface; in Access one can use
Application.Cur rentProject.Con nection.Execute ; DBengine and CurrentBD
are not part of an OLEDB interface);
2. If the table already has records numbered 1,2,3,4 etc, their
autonumber will not be changed (even if you remove the autonumber
column and start over);
3. the next record appended will have an autonumber of 200; if there
already is an autonumber of 200 then the append will fail (assuming a
primary key or not allow duplicates index).

I'm finding this to be extremely difficult to set up. I understand
that Access won't manage the primary key and the cascade updates for a
table. Fine. I tried changing the PK type to number and setting
default value to a UDF that manages the auto-numbering. Access won't
take a UDF as a default value. Okay, I'll use SQL WITHOUT any
aggregate functions, for the default value. Access won't do that
either. Okay, I create a second...

I've just had to upgrade to Access 2003. Our company's main sales database
started in Access V1.0 and has progressed through V2.0 and 97 without

process of testing it. To my horror I noticed that seemingly without

have an archive routine which removes completed sales enquiry records out of

If I have a table with an autonumber primary key and 100 records and I delete
the last 50 records, the next record added would have a primary key of 101. Is
there any way to have the primary key start at 51 after the last 50 records are
deleted?
Thanks!

Hi there
The table in question now has around 25000 records (simple -only 3
columns)
Records are added with a simple insert statement :
INSERT INTO SS_REQUEST_SERVICES ( REQUEST_ID, SERVICE_ID ) values(?,?)
and the autonumber field is incrementet with one. No problem ; - all

Sometimes I use Autonumber fields for ID fields. Furthermore,
sometimes I use those same fields in orderdetail type tables. So it's
important in that case that once an autonumber key value is assigned to
a record that it doesn't change. Occasionally I find that due to
corruption or an accidental deletion and restore of a record from a
backup the autonumber field needs to be tidied up. So when I create
(through AddNew) the autonumber...

I have created a SQL string the properly inserts a record in the table.
However, the insert does not occur at the end of the table. Instead
it inserts a record after the last record that I viewed. This would be
OK, except it assigns a autonumber to be one greater than the last
viewed record. This causes a duplicate autonumber. I know I can
change the autonumber index (Primary Key) to not allow duplicates.
How can I force the insert...

A project I'm working on is going to use VB6 as a front end. The back
end is going to be pre-existing MS Access 2002 database tables which
already have records in them *but do not have any AutoNumber* fields
in them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming this means that I cannot now
alter these existing Access tables and change their primary key to an
"AutoNumber" type.
If I'm right about this, I need some suggestions as to the...

Hi All,
Hope someone can help me with this. I have some PDA database software
which sync with tables in an access database on my computer. It works
fine until you want to sync tables that contain autonumber. Basically
it won't allow you to sync autonumber fields because if you tried to
change the autonumber on your PDA database access will not accept this
on syncing. I don't want to change the autonumber so that is not an
issue but...

To comp.databases.ms-access --
I just discovered, to my more than mild dismay, that some tables in my
Microsoft Access 2003 database have duplicate numbers in the
"AutoNumber" field. (Field Size is set to "Long Integer", and New
Values is set to "Increment".) I know that an old version of the Jet
database engine can cause this problem, but my version of msjet40.dll
is 4.0.8618.0, which is supposedly bug-free in this respect. I am...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
