Automatic Current Date Entry In A Record

Dec 12, 2005

Hello,

I have a quick question on how to enter the current date in a record automatically when the record is created.

Here is the situation. Say I have a Products table that lists the products that have come into the inventory. There is a field that denotes the day the product was introduced into the inventory. So ideally when the user creates a new record for the product, I would like this field to be populated automatically with the actual date that this filed was created by the user. Note that in future the user may edit the product (i.e other fields in this record), but the entry_date field should not be altered from what it was the first time is was created.

Is there a way I can do this? Any help much appreciated. thanks.

Automatic Date Entry Memo Field

Jan 31, 2006

I have a memo field on a form. I am trying to autopopulate it when entered into. For example: I enter in clients info and then tab to the memo field and it automatically enters date and time. Then later when I go back to that same record to append to the memo field it adds the current date. This way I can go back and see all the dates and times when that person called. Any idea how to do this? Thank you

General :: Automatic Date Entry For Field Changes

Mar 2, 2015

I have a database that contains 13,772 records and each record contains 34 fields. The database is used for historical research purposes. As I am constantly changing the content in one or more fields I would like to be able to have a field that would show the date of any changes that are made to any of the fields in any given record. Additionally I would like to be able to run a query, lets say every six months and extract all the updated records.

How to create a table that has a recurring entry, based on a start date and a nominal interval period of e.g. one calendar month?

Is it possible to have these entries applied automatically each time so that they appear, as required, when the table is opened?

For example, for the entry of regular payments due per month.

I am a little familiar with Access but having a problem figuring out how to alert a user that the date entered on a form is not the current month. I was hoping to have a warning msgbox pop up alerting the user. I am trying to prevent incorrect date entry.

Forms :: Data Entry - How To Show Current Date That Doesn't Change The Next Day

Jun 27, 2013

I am extremely new to Access. I have my database up and running ok(ish) and would like to know if in my data entry form, I can have the "Date Entered in Database" box display the current date that does not change from day to day. I know you can use the "Now()" function but won't this just change everyday?

Automatic Data Entry

Jul 2, 2007

Hi there,

I have a table called Cars and a table called Rent

In Cars i have Car ID (Autonumber and primary Key) and Price Per Day

In Rent I have Rent ID, Car ID and Price Per day

The Car ID in Rent is a lookup from the Cars table, but is it possible to make it so that when i enter the Car ID in the Rent table, it automatically fills in the Price per day field for me?

Sorry if something like this has already been posted, i didnt know what this is called so didnt know what to look for.

Thanks
Chris

Automatic Data Entry

May 19, 2006

Hi All,

I'm sure this must be fairly straight forward but I've been going around in circles trying to solve it in VBA without success.

I want the value of a field (Field C) on a form to be automatically entered depending on the value of two other fields (Fields A & B).

e.g.
If Field A is Null and Field B is Null then Field C is Null
If Field A is not Null and Field B is Null then Field C = "YES"
If Field A is not Null and Field B is not Null then Field C = "NO"

Please, put me out of my agony!!

John

How To Get An Automatic Entry Based On Criteria

May 9, 2007

My database tracks individuals qualifications. These qualifying scores relate to Unqualified, Expert, Advanced etc. What I want to do is add a entry into my roster table which will have the qualification score.
I then want to have the score and actual qualification (Advanced, Expert, etc) in a Report.
The qualification type is a range (less then 30, 31-40, 41-50), and I think that I will need a BETWEEN statement. What I am not sure of is how to put this together to make it equate the number with the equivalent word in a report.

Thanks

Automatic Field Entry Contradictions

May 5, 2005

Is it possible to ensure that if a particular field has a specific value, ie, 'yes' then the reaminaing fields on the page are automatically set to 'no' by default?

If No is selected in the field in question then this would subsequently allow the other fields to be set to any value.

Thanks in anticipation :)

Automatic Field Entry Based On Several Fields

Mar 16, 2008

Hi

I am an amature with databases and a bit rusty too. Can anyone help me with this problem?

basically I want to automatically enter a unique asset code for one table that is based on product and manuafacturer's codes from other tables

e.g. for audio visual eqipment

The first table would be a manufacturers table with the manufacturers code as the primary key e.g. JVC, HTC (hitachi), SHP (sharp) etc

The second table would be a product table with the product code as the primary key e.g. AMP, DVD, LCD (lcd tv) etc.

( i would also have a customer table and an asset repair table)

In my asset table I would like to enter an asset code as the primary key of the type JVC-DVD-001, JVC-DVD-002, HTC-LCD-001 etc by looking up codes from the other tables and then adding the last number.
(Ideally once the manufacturer's code has been selected only the product codes for products made by that manufacturer would be displayed).
(Also it would be ideal if referential integrity could be set up so that the asset code components can only contain valid manufacturer and product keys.)

The asset code cannot be a compound key as I want to have a repair records table in which the asset code is entered as a single field with referential integrity to the asset field in the asset table.

When entering repairs I would like the lookup field to display only the assets belonging to a particular customer.

I have a report that shows weekly schedules (each week start with Sunday date for the row) for multiple teams (columns). It prints 1 year at a time.I have to add the Sunday dates by hand into the table for each year. I have added 2016 but when I generate the report I get a "no current record" error.By the way, I am not a "programmer" but I can usually figure out whats going on when we have a problem by looking at other code in the system and by finding answers for similar problems on the forum!!

Queries :: How To Trigger By Date To Create A New Entry In Database Based On Old Entry

Aug 6, 2014

I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.

Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.

An Automatic Date

Mar 7, 2007

OK, next question. I have a query for my database that asks for all records reviewed on a particular date. I've got it set up so that when I run the query, it will ask me for a date range and then run the query only bringing up the records that meet the date range criteria. I then developed a report from this query and it too asks for a date range when I run the report. My question is this: I hit the button to run my report, the box asks me for a beginning date and then a ending date. I enter the date range and the report runs great. Is there a way that after I put in the date range, that date range will show on my report? Thanks once again for your help.

Example:


NAME OF REPORT
1/12/07 - 1/20/07 (this is the date range I entered)


Body of report

Automatic Changing Date

Mar 29, 2008

Hi,
Probably this question has been asked before, but I'm new here. Don't know if the question should be asked here and hope that my English is good enough.

I have a database in which I change the content of the records on a regular base. There are two dates in it. One is the day I made/added a new record, one should be the date I made the last change, but I can't get it to work. I have been searching the Help-option in Access as well as Google to find an answer, but so far no results. I don't know anything about Visual Basic, so if you answer please keep it simple.:o
