Please can someone advise me how I can link the date which I select in the calendar control to a date field in the form. I want to use the calendar instead of a combo box.
It's probably simple....but then so am I!
Help appreciated

I have built an automated procedure in VBA Access 2000 that is now great (thanks to a lot of downloaded help from this forum). I use the MSCOMM active-x control to talk to an instrument via the serial port.
Question: Is that control only working because I also have VB6 installed on this same computer? It seems to me that I tried something like this a year ago and could not get MSCOMM to work in Access, but at the same time, I didn't have great MSCOMM examples to go by. I do now as I could rob them from other programs my company has written in VB6.
I have both VB6 and Access 2000, but chose to develope this procedure in Accesss because of the heavy amount of data to store (and I know VBA much better than I do VB6). I thought Access is a natural. But now I am wondering if I will have problems distriubuting this database to other service offices that may not have a machine with VB6 on it?
Do they need just plot MSCOMM32.OCX in to their system32 directory?? :confused:

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have an Access database built by someone else and I need to make a change.
The database works fine on the client machines but does not work on my Development PC.
What happens is when it starts up I get the initial program screen but when I try to launch any data form I get the title error messge.
However, It does however work on an older PC I have here (which has the same configuration).
I am running Windows XP with Office 2003 - this is the same thing that both the client and other PC have.
In general Access works fine on the new PC and there are no specific
Any thoughts on whats going on? I want to use the Development PC as the old one is very slow and has basically been retired.
Thanks
Please can someone tell me how to change the back colour of a control when it has the focus and then revert to the original colour when it loses it. I have 35 controls on my form, so I need a function, rather than changing the colour with a subroutine evey time.
I have searched the site and haven't found whatI want-though I'm sure this question has been asked before.
Could anyone point me in the right direction re the Crystal Reports Active X viewer control and access forms. I loaded it onto a form in access 2000, but can't seem to find any meaningfull properties I can manipulate (especially the report source). I am thinking it works like any other active x control and I can manipulate properties through code, however, the main property I would think I need (source report) does not seem to exist. I have Crystal 10.0 loaded on my system.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form where the user clicks a button (button 1) to open a modal form, the user then enters data into this form and clicks close.
Then back in the first form I need to find which control had focus before (button 1) was clicked.
Screen.PreviousControl returns a control on the modal form.
I hope its easy like Forms!FirstForm.PreviousControl but I can't seem to find it!
Essentially I have a form_A with several tab's and then one list control box in each of those tabs. At present if you double click on any item within the control boxes your taken to another form_B with info about that item and when you close that from down again if refreshes form_A.
Is it possible to only refresh the specific list control box that is active instead of refreshing the whole form ?
I am using Access 2003. I have a form with two text fields that I have configured as "Short Date". I set up Calendar Control as a new popup form (frm_Calendar) and set up the date fields to popup the Calendar on double click. I have 2 problems.
1. The calendar does not want to default to today's date. I tried entering "=Date()" into the "Value" field of Calendar Control, but it removes that code after I click off of it. So how can I get Calendar Control to default to today's date?
2. When I double click on a calendar date, I want that date to be posted into the date field. How do I get it to do that? I looked at all the properties, but did not see a way to tell the date field to accept the calendar entry.
Thanks for your help.

I want to use the calendar control on a form, but cannot find a way to 'minimise' it when it is not needed. I feel sure that there is a way to do this. Can anyone help?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am creating an employee scheduling application to use for ambulances. In one form, I am trying to list those scheduled to the various shifts by date so that we can edit an individual day.
I firstly, want to open the form with the today's date and the employees accordingly. I am using the following code in the form_Current(), the form_GotFocus(), form_load(), and form_Open(Cancel as Integer) subs.
ctlCalendar.Value = Date
I cannot get it to display to today's date.
I am then wanting to pass the date to the query which selects the employees that are working each duty position. When the form opens it opens the oldest record, not today's. I think that there's a problem with the WHERE portion of my SQL statement.
When a user selects a date on the Calendar Control, I want to re-run the query and display the employee's scheduled to work on the selected date.
Any ideas?
I have a form with calendar control 11.0 placed on it.
When the form opens, the calendar is invisible.
When the cursor enters a field called ClassDate the calendar (calClassCalendar) becomes visible.
When the user clicks a date on the calendar control I want that date to appear in in the ClassDate field.
I would have expected the Calendar Control to have an OnClick Event Property that would have allowed something like
ClassDate.value=calClassCalendar.val
To my complete dismay there is NO OnClick event on the Calendar Control.
How to I get the Calendar Control's date to display in the ClassDate field?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I have a form that has 2 Calendar Controls that is used to select a Start Date and an End Date. I then have some code that will enter all the dates inbetween into the database.
One thing I would like to have on the form, is when the users selects a date from each calendar. The date is displayed in a text box under it. Just to have a visual double check to make sure they selected the right month/day/year before they hit the submit button.
Anyone know what code I would need to put in my form to make it do this?
Thanks
Chris.
I would like the calendar control to default to the current month and year (if there is no date in the control source). I don't want to set it to the current date.
I've tried:
Month([CalendarOut].Value) = Month(Date)
but that doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi
I'm recently added the CalendarControl 9.0 into some combo boxes in order to quickly input dates - however only the dates are then added, not the day of the week. The day of the week would be really useful if it was visible as the form is outputted to a HTML page for our intranet for other staff to see.
My (relevant) code at the moment is as follows:
-------------------------------------------------
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Dim cboOriginator As ComboBox
Private Sub cboStartDate_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Set cboOriginator = cboStartDate
ocxCalendar.Visible = True
ocxCalendar.SetFocus
If Not IsNull(cboOriginator) Then
ocxCalendar.Value = cboOriginator.Value
Else
ocxCalendar.Value = Date
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cboEndDate_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Set cboOriginator = cboEndDate
ocxCalendar.Visible = True
ocxCalendar.SetFocus
If Not IsNull(cboOriginator) Then
ocxCalendar.Value = cboOriginator.Value
Else
ocxCalendar.Value = Date
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
ocxCalendar.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub ocxCalendar_Click()
cboOriginator.Value = ocxCalendar.Value
cboOriginator.SetFocus
ocxCalendar.Visible = False
Set cboOriginator = Nothing
End Sub
-------------------------------------------
Any help and ideas much appreciated!
Hi,
I'm using the Microsoft Calendar Control 11 to populate a date field on a form. The date field has a format of "Medium". When I use the control, I select todays date and what gets populated is 30/12/1899. But...if I immediately go back to the Calendar control and select todays date, then the proper value gets added.
This happens for every NEW record I create. What is happening??
I have been using a calendar control on a subform and have now split the data into a tabbed form with 4 subforms. The calendar is now entering the date selected into the first record of each subform instead of just the one on the subform that has the focus.
Do I need to add the calendar control to each subform now or is there a way to reference the correct form in my current code?
Private Sub Calendar_Click()
' Enters the selected date into the DateCompleted field
Forms![Training]![ElectiveTrainingSub].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
Forms![Training]![CorpReqSubform].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
Forms![Training]![XOGReqSub].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
Forms![Training]![Recommended Training].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
I have tried If Me!TabCtl159 = Me.Page160 (first tab) Then
'enter date into that record
with no luck
Any ideas would be appreciated as always!
Thanks,
Toni

I have attached a condensed copy of my form/sub-form that has calendar controls on it for the RecvdDt and the Compliance date. I have it set up the say way as I have on other databases and it will not close/populate once opened. I have reset the events on it multiple times and I just can't get it to go.
Can anyone please take a quick look and help me determine why it is not working on this form yet works on others that I have.
Thanks.

I want to click on a specific date in the calendar in a form eg 09/03/06 and then open the "Bookings" form and go to the record with the field "Date" with the value 09/03/06
I can open the form lol
Can anyone help??
Thanks

I am trying to use an unbound subform based on a query to display only records for a specific date. The query works fine on its own, but the subform returns a blank.
I am using the Calendar control on the same form for the user to select the date they wish to view. This in turn inserts the selected date from the calendar into a textbox on the main form and the query that the subform is based on reads this and opens the corresponding records.
Problem, its not working.
Thank you in advance if you can help me throw some light on this one.
I can't figure out how to further explain what i needed to do. I hope the attached file could solve my issue.
Thanks for your time!

I want to be able to click on the date in a calendar control and the jobs scheduled for that day appear on the screen. Is this possible and how would I go about this. I created a query to pull the information I need and I attached that query to a form, I then placed the calendar control the form but I am unable to get the control to pull the data.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All. I have a query that is based on 1 table. I am using a form with a calendar control for the users to select the date range. In my table the date format is mm/dd/yyyy. My calendar control is pulling the date format mm/dd/yyyy I need my query to only look at the mm/dd part of the field. In my criteria field inc_date I have Between [Forms]![frm_LookUpEnquiry]![txtSelectDate] And [Forms]![frm_LookUpEnquiry]![txtDate2] I have tried the datepart but Im not sure I am doing it right. Basicly Im not sure how to parse out the date to only look at the mm/dd. Or would this be better done in a SQL query Any Idea's for this would be very appreciated. Im kinda in a bind on this one and its the last thing I have to do to finish this database.
Thanks for all you assitance in advance
Hi All,
I'm in the process of creating a database that allows users to enter details into a form which includes a date range as start and end dates.
I have used the inbuilt Calendar Control 10.0 control to allow users to select the date. It is linked to two combo boxes [cmbStartDate] and [cmbEndDate] using the following code (this code is repeated for each combo box):
Code:
Private Sub cmbStartDate_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Set cmbOriginator = cmbStartDate
ocxCalendar.Visible = True
ocxCalendar.SetFocus
If Not IsNull(cmbStartDate) Then
ocxCalendar.Value = cmbStartDate.Value
Else
ocxCalendar.Value = Date
End If
End Sub
And..
Private Sub ocxCalendar_Click()
''Update the ComboBox with the value entered into the ComboBox
''Put the value back into the relevant ComboBox
cmbOriginator.Value = ocxCalendar.Value
''Hide the calendar
cmbOriginator.SetFocus
ocxCalendar.Visible = False
''Clear the variable
Set cmbOriginator = Nothing
End Sub
This all seems to work fine- however, when I try to write the selected dates to a table or use them in a query they are not recognised (the form obviously needs to be open whilst the query runs), but if I manually type dates into these combo boxes these dates are picked up fine.
This is beginning to drive me mad so any help would be greatly appreciated.
