The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Access Autonumber Incrementing Wierd ? (in my opinion)
Tags: Microsoft, MS Access, 2000
I have a table of addresses with a primary key set as Autonumber, No Dupes, Increment (not random), and nothing special in the format.

I have a form that adds the addresses with an SQL statement in VBA.  It doesn't attempt to assign a number or anything, it lets access.

I then have a form that lets a user add a company after adding the address.

Using this to lookup the last address entered by the specific user of the database.
lAddress_ID = DMax("Address_ID", "Addresses", "Track_ID=" & GBL_Staff_ID & "")

Then you enter the company and it will take you to a form to view what you entered.
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "frm_Company", acLast

It was all working fine... Until I started getting an error.  I realized that when the company is entered Access is assigning the autonumbers something like this:

Number of Records in table 1-1000...

I add one from my form and it gets record number 6 or something ( a low number), it then shifts all the autonumbers up.  So if I had a Example1 Company at record 1000 it becomes record 1001, not my new record.

Its probably my fault and something stupid I'm missing.  Thanks for any help!

It might be a good thing to say that I imported the data from a text file and might have screwed up something with the autonumber in access.  But I figured access would handle that okay...

If you look directly in the table, what do you see for Autonumbers ... ?

Your on to something... The table appears as I would expect it too! Following my example above the Example1 Company is 1001.
 
05.08.2008 at 09:23AM PDT, ID: 21526137
My Company Form is based off a query of Company(table) and Addresses(table).  I probably need to refresh that before or something. hmmm?
 
05.08.2008 at 09:25AM PDT, ID: 21526153
Form_frm_Company.Requery
 DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_Add_New_Company", acSaveYes
 DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "frm_Company", acLast

Which I think I'm already doing??

Yes ...  it sounds like a 'display' or 'refresh' issue.

Maybe a Me.Requery should occur in the Form AfterUpdate event ?

My Bad!!!  It appears a Compact and repair on the .mdb that houses the actual tables has corrected the problem.  I need to verify this some more but don't waste anymore time.  I'll post back in a while and assign your points.  Thanks for the suggestion, I forgot to give that I try before jacking with the code.

Thanks Again!
