I started a small business and have created an accounting DB with advice from my accountant.
In Part of my business I generate invoices for the same customers every month. I use a unique invoice number that helps with tracking etc.
So I haven't been able to get an auto number to work. Currently, I dump the records in monthly then manually update the invoice number, but it is taking too much time now. I have been trying to adapt some code I found online but I am new to the coding end of Access. Most of the time I have been able to get things done with queries and macros.
So this is the code that I am trying to adapt.
Private Sub InvUDB_Click()
Dim InvNo As DAO.Database
Dim rstMInvoice As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstInv1 As DAO.Recordset
Set InvNo = CurrentDb
Set rstMInvoice = InvNo.OpenRecordset("MInvoice") '**** This is the line that the debugger opens up to after the error
Set rstInv1 = InvNo.OpenRecordset("Inv1")
rstMInvoice.MoveFirst
Do Until rstInvoice.EOF
If rstMInvoice!Invoice = 0 Then
rstMInvoice.Edit
rstMInvoice!Invoice = rstInv1!Inv
rstMInvoice.Update
End If
rstMInvoice.MoveNext
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Invoice_Q000"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Invoice_Q002"
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
Loop
End Sub
I get an error message 3167:
> “You referred to a record that you deleted or that another user in a multiuser environment deleted. Move to another record, and then try the operation again.”
When I Debug it highlights The following row:
> Set rstMInvoice = InvNo.OpenRecordset("MInvoice")
I use the two queries below this line to generate a temp table with the new invoice number, (Max Inv No for current year and Month Plus 1).
I have tried running these queries in different places in the code with no luck.
As you can see I do not have a clue as how to write this or how to get this code to run. When I replace everything past the equal sign with a constant it works but it replaces all the qualifying records with that constant.
Can someone help me with this?
