Using VB Code, create an Autonumber and then create a primary key on that field...

6 New Member
I am attempting to create a module that I can call to create a new field in my temp table that will be an autonumber, and then assigned that new field as the primary key. I have been search high and low for the code, it seems like an easy task but haven't solved the problem yet. Here is the current scenario: I import an text file of numbers, once imported, I need to assign a unique (autonumber) value to each number imported, starting with 1 to however many numbers were imported and maintain the order in which the numbers were imported!!! Hopefully this isn't too confusing....Th anks again

When it comes to adding records in related tables, Access is really smart. But when I try to do the same using ADO, I am really stupid. Say I have two parent tables (eg Course, Student) and one child table (StudentProgress). The course progress records how a student progresses on a course. I have one course (History) and one student called Maya. I now want to record her grade (64). If I do this in Access using a form, then the form...

I'm not certain if this made the post. Sorry if it's a repeat: Using a Button to take an autonumber from one form to populate another autonumber field on another form. I have a Mainform "A" with a button and code that opens another Mainform "B" with a subform which has the same table as Mainform "A". The button is supposed to tell the subform with the autonumber field

I am new to databases and thus to Access. I have a situation where I am trying to figure out how to key some tables I am working with. Consider that I have a database of my own records which are invoices I work on. These invoices are from four companies with their own invoice numbers. So, I cannot key by invoice number because there is a likelihood of invoice numbers duplicated by different companies. The records in this table of joined...

Hi, I want to use primary key IDs in my tables which are autonumbers, with a text prefix. I.e. for table tblVillage, the ID's will by V1, V2, V3... and for table tblHumanCases, the ID's will be H1, H2, H3... I have a few questions: 1. I have heard its not good to do this. Is this true and if so why? 2. I am also having problems creating the relationships to related tables due to the field types. In the parent table the field type...

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. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
