Re: Re: [MS_AccessPros] Re: Returning alphabet "a"

Tony-

This is a very good idea. It can handle complicated strings instead of alphabet. Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,

Kevin

May I suggest using a formula like
=Dmax ("myfield","mytable","recid=" & recID)
Should return the value of myfield last used in mytable... use whatever unique identifier you wish for the 3rd part of this. That depends on the unique indexing you have for your group of tables.

Good luck.

here is some code I wrote to get column letters for Excel ...

if there are more than 26 values, it will then return AA, AB, ... AZ, BA, BB, ...

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Function GetColumnLetter(pCol As Long) As String
'130116 strive4peace
   If pCol <= 26 Then
      GetColumnLetter = Chr(pCol + 64)
   Else
      GetColumnLetter = Chr(Int((pCol - 1) / 26) + 64) _
         & Chr(((pCol - 1) Mod 26) + 65)
   End If
End Function
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if lowercase is desired, the return value could be wrapped with LCase

warm regards,
crystal

Crystal,

I have used this many times but it's still a bit easier coding without converting, incrementing, and converting. I also have concerns about upper and lowercase values having different CHR() values, differences in languages, and what happens if there is a need for more than 26 sequence values.

It seems that a lot of the previous replies have not been included in your reply. Could you provide the significant table and field names as well as some sample data?

Do you really need to use a, b, c, ... or would 1, 2, 3,... work (it's easier to code).

Duane,

The sequence is the PartID.

Kevin,

You haven't provided any field or fields that determine the sequence of the different services so you may be stuck manually entering a, b, c,...

Bill-

I realized it. The reason I want an alphabet appearing automatically is that I want to divide a long travel Itinerary into parts according to different services booked, e.g.     air ticket, coach, etc. So with the alphabet I can name the parts as a,b,c...etc. Is that possible to get this done? Thank you Bill.

Perhaps you should clarify what business rule you are needing? One thing to keep in mind...double-click also triggers a single click event if one exists.
