I am developing a small application for a school. In the school they teach 5 subjects in five periods. One period's time in 40 minutes. I want to develop a table which will display the next period after previous period is over. The computer must skip to next period on the basis on system time.
View RepliesHi,
I am trying to compare a value in my databse produced by the date() function, short date format, to one that is exactly 24 hours after the value recorded by the date() function. If the value in the database is 24 hours prior to the current date(), I need to flag a text box a diffrent color to alert the user. I am unsure on the If statement that I will need to produce this result.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks

hi guys,I want to group a field in my query within a certain period of time, say 1 week. (e.g. between #12/5/2005# and #12/11/2005 23:00:00#) however I need to run this query every week.so I don't want to have to change the dates every week just to run the query.Is there a way to use the system's calendar date so that the values will be input automatically (i.e. to group between today and today-6 23:00:00)?? maybe using date() function or something??:confused: heaps n heaps of thx!!:D

I have a form that displays the system date and time for every entry.
When the data gets stored in the table, the date and time do not get stored. How can i save the date and time with all the other information.
Also, everyday when i open the form, it shows me all the data from the previous day but the date for all that data has changed to taday.
I want that everyday when i open the form, it should be blank and all data from the previous day must be stored in the table along with the date and time.
Hope someone can help me with this
Thanks

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a form where the user inputs a date into a combo box and then selects a command button.
There are two options:
1. The user can select an exiting entry (by date from the combo box) to edit a existing entry.
2. to create a new entry they enter a new date (not in the combo box).
Then the user selects a command button.
The command button has an onClick macro where the value in the combo box is checked (IsNull([Combo40]))
If the "IsNull([Combo40])" is true a message box is presented saying the date field is blank.
The problem is (finally) if you enter a new date "3/3/04" and forget to hit the enter key the system doesn't recognize the entry, in other words the "IsNull([Combo40])" evaluates to TRUE.
We currently have the msgBox remind the user to hit the enter key but that seems a little low tech. Is there anyway to look at the field and see the data even though the user forgot to hit the enter key??
Thanks
Hey all,
I'm trying to find a solution to a problem. Is there any way using VBA to generate a random number, based off the current system date and time? The theory is that a random number seeded by the system date/time will be truly unique and the possiblity of it ever occuring again will be nearly nil.
Or is there a better way to create unique ID's (such as member ID's, or something similiar) based off the system date/time that can be used as a primary key in a relational db.
I would like to have the date of each new record as the system date IF the field does not already contain a valueThe code below works but changes the fields date even if the field already contains a value
Date ()
===
Tried the following as the Default value, but they do not work
IIF(nz([Date())
nz([Date()])

I've design a form as such when i FIRST add a NEW
RECORD, I want the system date to be capture into the
form. I have a table calls Register. And this table
has a field "DATE" which takes the value of the system
date(=now). However, when i open the same record the
next time, the orginal value(at the time when the
record is created) of the field "DATE" will be
replaced by the new system date. However, i do not
want this to be happen because i want the field "DATE"
to take the value of the system date when i first
created the record. My question is how to prevent
subsequent system date from being updated in the
record whenever i open the same record? Thank you.
I have our primary web based inventory system that I am exporting to Excel and using this as an import to Access for the main raw data for my database. This being inventory it changes daily so I am updating this table every day. When I try to append the table it ads all the records. I am wanting an easy way to add only the new records/take out the ones that are no longer there. Basically update the table with what is currently there.The only have I have found to do this is by running non-matching queries and update queries.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a staff rota system that works on a rolling 4 weekly basis. I am using a table to store the shifts of a person dependent on week. I want to be able to tell access that Monday on week 1 corresponds to a certain date and then get access to figure out the rolling system based on that date.
eg Monday 21/7/13 is week 1 (7 days later it knows it is linked to week 2)
This is so if a staff member is off sick I can say they were off sick on the 24th and it will populate their timesheet with the corresponding shift without me having to input it manually. Doable?
How can I set Month or Year default as per the system date. ie Only select records by Month (October) or Year (2013) as per system date?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Access 2010 application running on Win 7 Pro which connects to a Back End SQL Server database. I am trying to get Access to synchronise the client pc system date & time with the Sql server date and time. Please note, the date/time does not necessarily have to be correct, it just has to be consistent between the server and all the pcs running the Access application.
I have tried two methods as follows. But both only work if Access with Administrator privileges, which isn't really practical.
Method 1:
Code:
Dim MyDateTime As Date
'Some Code here to get MyDateTime
If MsgBox("Change date & time to:" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & MyDateTime & "?", vbYesNo, "Change") = vbYes Then
Date = DateValue(MyDateTime)
Time = TimeValue(MyDateTime)
End If
Method 2:
Code:
Private Type SYSTEMTIME
wYear As Integer
wMonth As Integer
wDayOfWeek As Integer
wDay As Integer

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a table in access database which contains a text field 'EDate' that stores Date value in format (12-Apr-2013). Now I want to run a sql query on that field. User will give an input date. The sql query needs to fetch me all the records from access database whose Edate is less than or equal to the user input date.
I am using DateValue function to convert my text filed Edate into date. My query is something like this:
select * from table_name where DateValue(EDate)<='user_input_date'
I am able to perform above task if the system language settings are 'English'. But if system language settings are different say Turkish, then the query fails.
I searched a lot on web and found that DateTime function compares test data with the system date time format and gives the result. Thus it fails with different language settings.
I have a continuous form (2003) with 6 text boxes (StartTime, StopTime, Comments etc...). I would like all the text boxes to have a gray background if the StartTime for that row is less than Today().

How do you grab a custom Fiscal Year's values based on the system clock's date?
I am building a query where I want to see the number of closed cases based on the current custom fiscal year with the system clocks date. The report that it feeds only cares about the current FY.
I need the System Clock's FY value in this query
Code:
SELECT shortname AS Station, NZ(TotalCount.TotalCases,0) AS [Cases Complete]
FROM StationList LEFT JOIN (SELECT station, count([Open Issues].ID) AS TotalCases FROM [Open Issues] WHERE [Status]="Closed" GROUP BY Station) AS TotalCount ON StationList.shortname =TotalCount.station;
Within the Query Open Issues I have the FY broken up
Code:
fiscalYear: IIf(Month([Issues].[Opened Date])>=10,"FY" & Year(DateAdd("yyyy",1,[Issues].[Opened Date])),"FY" & Year([Issues].[Opened Date]))

Hi, I have a table that has a start date field, a duration field and an end date field. I was wondering what I need to do so that the end date is calculated and entered when the duration is added onto the start date to produce the end date?
Should the date fields be set as a date, data type?
Sorry if this does not make sense ;)
Many thanks, Tobi

tblActivities: Contains 4 fields Name, date, activity and hours
I have greated a form that allows me to select what month I want to see. It has a simple combo box in it that point back to tblDate.date. I setup a macro that is doing a OpenReport, there Where Clause is as follows:

What im trying to do is, for a range of dates from 1/1/2005 to 31/12/2020 get the Qtrly Financial Period before...
So, for instance:
A date of 1/1/2005 makes the period before 1/10/2004 to 31/12/2005
A date of 1/5/2005 makes the period before 1/1/2005 to 31/3/2005
A date of 1/8/2010 makes the period before 1/4/2010 to 30/6/2010
Fiscal Period (for those that dont work with them) are, 1st April to 30th June, 1st July to 30th Sept, 1st Oct to 31st Dec and 1st Jan to 31st March of any year.
So what i want is 3 colums in excel, Column 1 = Period Start, Column 2 = Period End, Column 3 = Date
Can anyone figure the forumla out? Doesnt matter where its done in, just as long as the end result can be in Excel....
