using a constant field

Hi Planet!

I have created a table (see test script below)

I have an Id field that will contains numerical values.
For reason behond my control This field has to have a
constant hard coded letter V in front of it.

V4789
V0023
ect...

Is there a way know to man kind to do this and
avoid storing 100 000 letter V for nothing...
And maybe keep a INT type rather than it becoming
VARCHAR or CHAR.

thanks for your help.
CREATE DATABASE JK_PROD;
USE JK_PROD;

CREATE TABLE VOUCHERS (
Id INT(8),
Marketing_Code VARCHAR(15),
Date_Created DATETIME,
Date_Used DATETIME,
Account_Nb VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,

PRIMARY KEY(Id)
);

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IDX_VOUCHERS ON VOUCHERS (Id);
INSERT INTO VOUCHERS VALUES
('','mrk code 1','2004-01-01','2004-01-02','AC01');
INSERT INTO VOUCHERS VALUES
('','mrk code 2','2004-01-01','2004-01-02','AC02');
INSERT INTO VOUCHERS VALUES
('','mrk code 3','2004-01-01','2004-01-02','AC03');

I've written a simple container template class to contain a single value. This emits a signal when the value is changed (it's used as a notifier of changes), and listeners can connect to its changed signal. i.e. field<int> i(2); i = 4; // field<int>::m_value = 4; changed signal is emitted. Currently, the contained value may be accessed via get_value() and set_value() methods, and for ease of use, operator= and some type conversions...

Does anyone know how to use VBA to relink tables between two MS Access databases? We have two databases, one with VBA code and the other with data tables. The tables are referenced by linked tables in the database where the code resides. If we move the database with the data tables to a new directory, the links are no longer valid. I tried to update the links by changing the Connect property and refreshing: Set td = db.TableDefs(0)...

Can i use a constant in a query ? I have a constant Public Const rate As Double = 10 Can i use it in the query ? I want to multiply the field with the constant rate, but Access does not accept the rate as a constant, instead it always put it into brackets as it is a field. I tried to write rate in sql, but after that access shoewed "unknown parameter".

Hello there, I have a front end database that I have recently made very many changes to to allow off-line use. I keep copies of the databases on my hard drive and link to them rather than the live databases on the network. Is there a way, via code, when I get back in-house from being on the road to click a button, and select the backends I want to link to? I would want to delete all the current links and link to the "live"

I have a class hierarchy representing data importers, each of which reads lines from a particular type of comma-separated data file and creates corresponding entries in a database. There is an abstract base class, Importer, which contains the file-reading logic, and a series of inherited classes - CarrierImporter, RouteImporter, etc. - that validate and process specific file types. To help identify valid files, each type of import file...

Hi all, I'm porting some code that provides compile-time assertions from one compiler to another and ran across what I believe to be compliant code that won't compile using the new compiler. Not naming names here to remove bias - I'm trying to tell if I'm relying on implementation defined behavior or if this is a bug in the new compiler. Consider this stripped down example:
