Im trying to query a date which identifiy date in the database and carculate it to the date that are only above 30 days.
im using the below query
SELECT * FROM Truck_Company where Updated = DateDiff("d",date(),rs("Updated")> 30)
but its seem the query doesnt work need some help..
:confused: i am trying to develop a system which requires a date order to be used .. i want to use a filter query to filter out certain information from my tables into a form .. i know how to accomplish this but i am having a small problem getting there
i wish to set sunday to an order of one (1) and monday to two (2) and so on so that when i create my query i will be able to select the thursday for example ( by setting the criteria to a "5" )
i have a table consisting of the dates but i am unsure how to create a field that displays the order .. automatically calculating whether the date is a sunday or a monday and assigning the correct number as stated above, i have tried something (not sure what) which assigned a 1 to monday through 7 to sunday but this is not the order i wish to use and it failed to work with my query anyway
would this create this using my computers clock or something and if so what do i need to do to get this small part of my system up and running therefore enabling me to create my filter query
please help
thankyou :)
I am doing a cert. III in business admin that finishes on MOnday 9 May 2005. I have 3 days to do a mammoth business trip assignment, AND pass a test on Access. The school is a little dodgy and didn't make me do that practical assignment - they gave me multiple choice q's and written q's to take home.
PLEASE HELP!!! I need to pass this course - and we never use Access at work.
Q1. What is wrong with this formula?
=Iff([Product]=Home,1,0)
I'm sure there's more wrong with it than the 'Iff' - that's meant to be 'IIf' isn't it? I've only ever used formulas in Excel..
Q2. What result will the 'Is Null' expression return?
Q3. What is the difference between a Combo Box and a List Box?
Q4. Why is the purpose of the Paste Append function?
Q5. Which formula is correct?
a. =[Qty]*[Price]+[Freight]
b. =[(Qty)*(Price)+(Freight)]
c. =([Qty]*[Price])+[Freight]
d. =[(Qty)*(Price)]+(Freight)
???
Q6. A chart can be placed on:
a. Table view only
b. A form or Report view
c. A Query or Table view only
d. A Report view only
Please answer any of these questions you can - the last one I can trial by error later tonight.
Thanks in advance.
Have a table which has 4 fields PatientID FirstName,LastName,BalanceDue,Due Date
Trying to create a query that will show all fields of the accounts that have due dates that are under 30 days. I tried this Under30: DateDiff("d",[DueDate].Now())criteria >0 And <30. But can't put anything in the parameter dialog box which after clicking ok shows any data. If I can get this to work my hope is to have 3 more catagories. over 30 days, over 60 days and over 90 days. I'm new at access and could really use some help.
DateDiff in a query
I am trying to calculate time difference between two time columns as follows in a query which has a few inner joins
Diff: DateDiff("h",[Table1.TimeStrat],[Table1.TimeStrat])
This gives problem, it is asking [Table1.TimeStrat] to be entered, where is the problem?
This seems like a mediocre problem but I can't think of any way of making it work. I have a table with a bunch of fields in it and one of the fields is called 'user'. Now all the other values in the fields remain pretty much the same except the User name. I want so when I try entering a new record using a form, all the fields are already filled except the 'User' field, thus allowing me to just keep filling the table up with different user names while not having to fill up the other fields.
Any help would be awesome.
Thank you
Hi,
I'm facing this problem whenever I try to click on any button on my access system. I get the following error message:
"" The expression on Click you entered as the event
property setting producedthe following error:
A problem occurred while Microsoft Office Access was
communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
* The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user
defined function, or [Event Procedure].
* There may have been an error evaluating the function, event or macro. ""
Note that the system works fine on another machine, but not on my computer!
any help will be very much appreciated!
Hey guys,
So my boss needs me to do something with the form. I'll give you an example: Say the form/table has two fields Computer Name and User. Now one computer name can have multiple users and it can be any number of users (no set amount) she wants to be able to add one user at a time and not in the same field. She also does not want to have two different records with the same computer name but different users. The way I thought of doing this was to make a button in the form so when she needs to add more users to the form she can just click the button and another field would appear saying "user 2", "user 3"..etc. Is that possible or does anyone have a better idea?
Thanks in advance for the help guys

Hey I have a form/table that has the field name 'Type'..I want so that when a user types in 'Staff', he is able to type in a phone number, but when he typs in 'ISP' he is able to type in the name of the ISP. I have no idea how to go about this so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Yusuf
If there is someone out there that could help make the lane score sheet easier. or give an example you could send an attachment to joeschidek@hotmail.com
Overview:
You are going to create a program that tracks the scores for a season in a bowling league. This program needs to be very easy to use. In fact, Access, SQL Server, or VB on top of Access is one good way to attack this program. Using a web interface to a CGI database is also acceptable. VB accessing text files will work as well. VC on top of Access/SQL Server is OK as well (wicked hard). VC has wizards that connect to databases just like VB. Check the Win 32 App Wizards.
The league meets every other week. The players bowl anywhere from 1 to 3 games (typically 3). Each week, the teams play each other and give handicaps based on total team average. The teams will win if their team total is higher than the other team’s total, including a handicap. With three games the league tracks wins/losses per game plus overall pins. This gives 4 games per week. The overall pins goes to the team with the most pins over the 3 games. As a note: the team names are the names of their captains.
The league bowls on lanes 17 through 20. This means that there are 4 teams with 5 players each.
Program flow
v The program should perform like the following:
Ø User inputs the week’s data
Ø Program validates the week’s data
Ø User then tells program to update the season data
Program output requirements
v Player data sheet
Ø Player average (sort by this)
§ Total pins divided by number of games
Ø Player high game
Ø Player low game
Ø Player high series
§ Highest total pins for a week
Ø Player total pins (subsort by this)
Ø Player number of games (subsort by this)
v Team Standing
Ø Sort by Wins, then losses
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
v Lane score sheet
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.>>
Ø Two teams per player
Ø An entry for each player
Ø Three lines for scores for each player
Ø What alley the team is on
§ All teams must play on all lanes the same number of times in a season
§ You must determine a fair strategy to move the teams around
Ø The handicap
§ Difference in total team average
§ Whichever team has the lower average total will get the handicap
Ø Need a simple way to print different sheets for each week, based on the schedule
§ The code to automatically change the schedule based on the week is probably too much
§ A manual changing of team and lane assignments is OK
Program input requirements
v Weekly data
Ø User should be able to input player scores who bowled
Ø Program should allow you to skip players that did not bowl this week
Ø Program should account for players that bowl less than 3 games
§ Example: a player with 12 games bowled going into this week, can only bowl one game
§ Once the stats are entered, the program will reflect 13 games, and calculate the average based on 13 games, not 15
Ø Program should allow inputting of which team won or lost
§ Be advised that this code can get tricky
§ I will accept, without penalty, manual entering of wins and losses
§ There can be a maximum of 4 wins per team per week
v Interface
Ø The user should be presented with command buttons, in order, to do their task
Ø They should not have to type in 50 commands nor have to open certain queries in certain order
Ø Ie: you are coding for a non Access geek, you may assume an intelligent person, not Brenda
Program calculations
v Player average
v Hi game
v Low game
v Total pins per week
v Total pins overall
v Which team wins or loses
Ø You may force the user to enter this manually
Ø The amount of code to calculate wins/losses automatically is more than the amount of time to have the user calculate it manually.
v Wins/Loss percentage
Ø Number of wins divided by games played
v Total team
v Team Handicap
v More calculations may be necessary
Brenda Checks
All scores are between 0 and 300
Wins cannot be larger than 4
Two teams cannot be on the same lane
i've just delivered my program to my client and there are 2 MAJOR bugs.
bug 1: the first time program is opened, everything works fine. it goes to the switchboard, etc., everything's cool. however, if he closes the program (i think he closed it using the red X) and tries to get back in, only one item on the switchboard shows up from that point on. the thing is, this problem DOESN'T HAPPEN ON MY COMPUTER so i have no way of even attempting to figure this out. the way i have my program set up is i have an interface and a BE and an .mdw file all in the same folder. i've created a shortcut that uses a workgroup switcher so that he can open the program and use it w/the .mdw file.
i have no idea what could possibly be causing this to happen. i would think that the switchboard would open correctly every time.
bug 2: this one does happen on my computer.
setup: i have frmCustomers (outer form) with sfrmJobs (subform) with a subform inside of that named sfrmFinances. Everything in frmCustomers works fine, and everything in sfrmJobs works fine. The primary key (JobID) in sfrmJobs is entered manually. After the JobID is entered, sfrmFinances is accessible. sfrmFinances' control source is qryFinances, which has a few fields from tblJobs (control source for sfrmJobs). frmCustomers is linked to sfrmJobs by CustomerID and sfrmJobs is linked to sfrmFinances by JobID.
problem: a new customer is entered in frmCustomers. a job number is entered for the new job in sfrmJobs (JobID). the user then attempts to update a field (any field, but for example, ContractPrice) and a window pops up and says, "Field cannot be updated". you click ok and it pops up again, at least 10x in a row. then it finally lets you enter data, but when you try to save the record, it pops up with another window that says,
"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."
excuse me?? how could there possibly be duplicate data??? the funny thing is tho, when the user closes the form, and then opens it back up and tries to enter financial data w/the same customer, it allows it.
???????
The first bug is more important than the second one, but any advice or ideas on either are EXTREMELY appreciated. thank you very much in advance.

this DB should transfer records from table to another table and vice versa, somehow i cannot make the other command button works. it took me a week to figure it out what is wrong with the code.
pls help me with my DB.
Somebody out there!
ill attached the DB if someone replies my request.
thanks
Hi all i'm really confused. I have tried to use the user-level security wizard to set my database security which works fine from my computer. However, when someone else logs into the database through my shared area where it is kept, they do not encounter any of my security settings that I set up for them. From this it looks to me that the security settings only apply when someone opens the database directly from my computer and not when they open it over the network from my shared area.
Could someone please explain to me why this is happening and offer a solution to it please. Your help will be greatly appriciated.
Good day everyone.

I have two tables tbl1 and tbl2
tbl1 has 10 fields named tbl1.id tbl1.field2 tbl1.field3 tbl1.field4
tbl2 has only three fields tbl2.field1 tbl2.field2 tbl2.field3
Now i need to insert values into tbl1::
tbl1.field1 tbl1.field2 tbl1.field3
from
tbl2.field1 tbl2.field2 tbl2.field3
respectively, but i need to make sure if tbl2.field3 value is already there in tbl1.field3 then we don't need import those records. so we only need records if value of tbl2.field3 is not already there in tbl1.field3.
Please let me know What statement do I need to write so i can import all data from tbl2 into tbl1 by comparing as above.
:confused: Guys I need some help!
I am new to this database stuff and my work want me to produce a database which will not only keep stock on printers, scanners, monitors and base units we have in stock but want an allocation system as well.
Basically, a member of staff from a department will make a request for some items. These could be a monitor, 2 base units and a scanner for their location. I need a system which tells the user that the items or qty they want is in stock or not. I know I need to use an unbound box for this but dont know how.
Then I need a form which a IT techie can allocate a job too themseleves and take the item to them once this has been done they sign off the job.
I have a rough idea on what I want in each table but I am really losing time and i need some help or if anyone can do a quick one for me with forms etc I will be ever so grateful!
The tables look as follows:
Dept - DeptID, Name of Dept
Staff - StaffID, Name, Postion at college
Request - RequestID, Date, StaffID
Stock - StockID, Item (monitor), make (CTX), Model (17" TFT), QTY, Status (dead, working, faulty)
Request deatils - ? - Basically this is where the staff member will make their request for what they want.
Allocation - This part needs to be given to a member of staff and they needs allocating out
Techie - TechieID, Name, Postion
Location - LocationID, Location (where the item is going to)
If anyone can help me please post otherwise please please send me an email to mini_beest@yahoo.co.uk
Thank you and hope you can help
Is there a way in a query to write a datediff that looks at all the possibilities month, day, year? I have 10 different fields that I need to do a date diff on. I would like to have the fields checked in one place rather than 10 day checks then 10 month checks and 10 year checks. I don't need to use the data any where but I need it to let me know if there is a difference between a calculated date and a date that was input by a user. If there is then I know the user input the wrong date, and it shows as an error.
Thanks
I have heard of this datediff thing on access. How do you make it work? I also want to do a calculate between the date of birth and date of death? Bearing in mind they are all different. I am wanting if possible to list the age at death either as for example 70years and 85 days or 70.233 years
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am trying to calculate the number of days between 'today' and a 'date of birth' field. In the field properties Default Value I am using =(DateDiff('y',Date(),[dob]) where Date() gives today's date and [dob] is my 'date of birth' field. However, this is not working. I get an error "(The database engine does not recognize either the field 'dob' in a validation expression, or the default value in the table 'Table1')"
I have set the data type for both fields to 'Date/Time'. What am I doing wrong? Is there any alternate method?
Also, how can I calculate height in feet & inches (5'6" or 5.6 or 5-6) from a given height in meters?
Thanks
Raj
I need to caculate the difference in days between to dates. I would like to include only Business days but would settle for any help at this point
Thanks in advance

hello all,
would really appreciate some extra help with this,
many thanks,, the story is as follows,,,,,,,
hello all,
i have a very simple databse with two table in it,, both table share a lot of common information, including a primary key called jobcard number,, i want to know if there is a simple query i can run that will find any differences in the start date fields that are found in both tables
any help would be much appreciated
cheers
wardy
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Look at DateDiff function in the help for the time differences.
Thus for example in a new column in your query you can type:
DifferenceInDays: DateDiff("d",[Table 1 Name].[DateField Name], [Table 2 Name].[DateField Name])
--------------------------------------------------------------------
thank you DrSnuggles,
could you explain in idiot proof instructions?
do i enter the diffdate code in the criteria row of the select query? also, what do i need in the field and table rows? is it the table and filed i'm comparing the data against?
once again
many thanks
I have a call tracker database.
What I'm trying to create a query to view all my calls' time average (opened date and resolved date). Basically, how long it took to fix a call or problem... whatever...
I tried with datediff(), but had problems getting the Total Avg.
I would need the query to look like this...
Total Calls | Avg Call Time
100 | 5.33 (min.sec)
Thank you
Lucas
I have a form that has a start time end time and total time. I am using date diff to calculate the total time and it is working fine, but i want the output to be placed into Total time field of a table. I am new to access and DB in general. Any help would be appriciated.

I am trying to calculate the total number of days between a date (i.e, csdate) and todays date in a Query for a Report.
I have tried the DateDiff command in the query line and in an unbound box on the report but it is not returning the right values.
Can Someone tell me what I have done wrong. I have checked that the date is in long format and tried it in short format as well with the same results. Below is what I have tried.
csdays:=DateDiff("d", [csdate], Date()) I have tried the Now() command as well, but it is not right either.
Please help!
My company recently switch us from Access 2000 to Access 2003. A query that previously worked, no longer works. I've searched the previous posts and Access help and updated the query based on the search results, but still receive the error message. "Undefined function 'Date' in expression."
Here's the query calculation:
AppOut: DateDiff("d",[AppMailed],Date())
Would someone please let me know where I am going wrong?
I've gotten it to work with this calcualtion, but the user has to manually enter today's date each time. But I know there has got to be an easier route.
AppOut: DateDiff("d",[AppMailed],[date])
Thanks =)
