Is there any way it would be possible to have a number automatically created using NZ() or DMax function; based on certain criteria and also when creating the number preventing a duplicate number creation in the even of a simultaneous record creation?
Here's my example:
I have a CCN Number (Currently the employee manually types it in; and it is the primary key. What I would like is to take out the human element (error possibilities) and let access create it for the employee.
Here is how the CCN looks and the breakdown of each section (the important part's will be the first 3 sets of numbers):
96-06-184-100-000
96 = Region Code
06 = Current Year
184 = Julian Calendar Date (based on the receipt date field)
100 = Filler number based on day of the week (Eg. Monday = 100, Tuesday =
200, etc.)
000 = Filler numbers (Should always be Zero's (000)
I need to find away to pull this information from a table of some sort and combine it to create the CCN and to then add 1 (incriment) to the 4th set of numbers. Example 100 (1st record of the day) 101, 102, 103, etc.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
