I'm using vb2005express for forms (front-end) and ms access database. I have a form with a master-detail setup. The problem I'm having is that when I set the primary key column to autonumber, I don't get the pk value generated in ms access database into my master datatable in forms when a new record is created. Then I tried setting the AutoIncreament to True in the pk column of the datatable in my dataset (forms). This generates a number in my pk column but its not the number generated in the database (since I think because the pk column is still set to AutoNumber). So I change the field property of my pk to Number in the access database and on my dataset (forms), i still have AutoIncrement to True.
This works okay since what it seems to be doing is getting the max value for the pk column when the datatable is filled upon form load. The problem now is that I normally don't do tableadapter.fill(datatable) at form load since I think there would be a performance issue if record counts around millions. What happens now is that when I create a new record, the pk generated is still 1 which will cause duplicate violation when saving to database. I'm not quite familiar with access features but in oracle, what I do is I create a sequence in database then I create a function that gets the next value of the sequence. Then at form load I set the datatable.column.default_value = get_sequence. How do I do this in ms access?
On a client i have an anonymous list containing a multi-column primary key previously selected from the DB.Then i need to select all the records from the DB that equals the primary key list i have stored in the memory.[code]
i am wondering if it is possible to get the source code for the following:
1. use vb.net code to set on/off primary key when connected to Access database
2. update a particular data.
for e.g: hostname: AES-19 *use source code to check data in Microsoft Access database if hostname is new, insert into Access. if hostname already exist, update into Access *so that i will not have duplicate data in Access.
I have managed to successfully create a logon page and have created a form to insert data into one of my tables using text boxes and a "Save" button, however the first field in the table is the named "CustomerID" and is set to Autonumber, this is the primary key of the table. If I enter a record into the table in Access it automatically enters the next valid ID however when I can't seem to make this happen when entering data via my VB form!
When I add a new row to an access database, I would like the primary key to be automatically incremented and entered. I've got this to work using a sql database, but it doesn't work with access for some reason. The following code works if I give the code a value for "@key" which is my primary key column. If I leave it out I get the error "Number of query values and destination fields are not the same". I don't want to have to supply the primary key, I want it to generate automatically.
[Code]...
In the database the primary key is type "AutoNumber". Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
when i will enter form no. in the text box this should check the on the lost focus event either this form no. is already exsist or not.if exist show msgbox?
I am importing Tables from a Oracle DataBase, using a VB.NET dataAdapter. I use the "fill" comand to add the imported data to a DataSet. How is it possible to define a specific column of a DataTable as PrimaryKey, after the DataTable is already filled with data?
My program has an access database with a table called "Contacts". This table stores many values. I have a seperate table that stores surveys. Each contact should have a column for every survey, indicating whether or not the survey has been completed. However, this means I need to add columns to the database while the program is running. I tried the following code, which runs WITHOUT errors, but does not seem to actually add the column.
contactsDataAdapter = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Contacts", frmAdmin.con) contactsCommandBuilder = New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(contactsDataAdapter) dtContacts.Clear()
I need to add a new field to an Access database table, the user has filled the table with data, so I have to add the new field but to preserve the old data.
I have found the ALTER TABLE statement, but it gives me an error (ALTER TABLE is not a valid statement)
I done this in php+mysql with "ALTER TABLE People ADD Address TEXT NULL AFTER Name" (as an example)
I am using a query in vb.net, database is Access.

I have an access database with several tables. in one of the tables there are three columns named quantity, price and total cost.total cost is an expression of (quantity * price). the expression looks grate in the datagrid etc but when I need to save it to the database
I would like to populat the Listbox collection from a column from a Access database I already created the name of the collection as collections. I can autocomplete/Suggest a Textbox with no issues.[code]
I'm looking to retrieve all the entries from one column of an access database table and copy to an array. this array i will then be randomly selecting values from it to create foootball fixtures. I'm confident of being able to achieve the random side of it but i'm struggling to get the records into the array.
I don't know if this is the best way to do it or not but here goes.I have an access database and a datagridview and they link via a SELECT statement at runtime.I want to total one column named LNLMTS and display the result.I am looking at using SELECT Sum LNLMTS FROM tblProduction WHERE SO=@so AND DATE=@date
I am trying to alter a column in an Access database in VB2008 from date to text format using the SQL string as follows "ALTER TABLE receipts ALTER COLUMN Date CHAR(10)"but whether I Use TEXT, CHAR, VARCHAR or STRING, I get a Syntax Error when I run ExecuteNonQuery.
I am trying to set autocomplete for a textbox using data from a column in a table an Access database. Some of those records in the table have no values. I have set the AutoComplete Mode property to SuggestAppend and the AutoCompleteSource property to CustomSource. When I run the application nothing happens when I type into the textbox. The dataset is called DatabaseDataSet and the table name in the database is called Simple and the specific field/colum is called SIM_TAG1
'Create customsource for tag textboxes to suggest tag terms based on what is in database Dim oTag As New AutoCompleteStringCollection() For Each term As DatabaseDataSet.SIMPLERow In Me.DatabaseDataSet.SIMPLE

I have an access table that I'm loading into a dataset, then I'm binding the dataset to a bindingsource. The bindingsource is the datasource for a datagridview. I can use a command builder to update the entire table, but I need to update all the rows (or changed rows) in specific columns. I have a column called "dPrint" which is Boolean. I'm not sure how to use the bindingsource as my datasource in an Update Command. I've tried this:
I have a VB.net application that has three project in it. Two of the project are DLL with references in the primary project. I have a public Model "RegSaveGet" in the primary project listed below. When I look for the namespace for the module from one of the DLL projects I can not see it. I want to use this module from the two DLL projects. I can only see it from the primary project.
I have a database program, and the first row of the table i'm inserting into is a primary key, just a number that increments by one each row. This is my SQL statement,
I am in the process of creating a system using VB in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. The system which I am creating is connected to an Access database via a tableadapter.Currently, I am coding a form for a table called Employee and this form allows the user to create a new employee, edit or delete an existing employee. Editing and deleting an existing employee works fine but adding a new employee is causing me trouble. When I specify an employeeID (this is the primary key), the declared value is stored appropriately in memory and it also displays in the form, however once I save the new employee to the database, the employeeID always defaults to 0 for some unknown reason. So, the record which I've just entered has a primary key of 0 regardless of what the the primary key should be.
The employeeID is declared as an integer and the value is obtained by getting the employeeID of the last record in the table and adding 1 onto it. I've also tried hard coding the employeeID and a specific number, but this does not make any diffence. I've reused the code from another part of the system which works fine before, but why it suddenly doesn't work is baffling me. The employeeID field in Access is a long integer.
Table: myTable Field1: ID (COUNTER, which is autoincrement in Access) Field2: SURNAME (VARCHAR) Field3: NAME (VARCHAR)
I want to get ID returned, whenever I insert a row. Is there a way? (I am using VB.Net)
EDIT: Solution using SELECT @@IDENTITY
'Execute insert statement and return identity (autoincrement ID field) Public Function executeInsertGetIdentity(ByVal insertStatement As String) As Integer ' Execute insert
I have noticed that whilst in the past using MS Access you could have a primary key field on a form and have it not visible. You could still use it for Dlookups etc using the value in the field no problem even though it is not visible. In Vb if i hide a textbox that is bound to a PK field in a datasource and try to use its value in code i get an error. Making the field visible again prevents the error. My goal is to use a PK bound textbox not visible to the user but still read its contents.
Also, what is the equivalent of a simple DLOOKUP in VS2010? EG. You have the PK and want to know, say 3 other pieces of information from the record based upon the PK you have.
