Within my main table / form I have six status drop down boxes and would like to record with a date and time ever time they are changed and save this data in a second table.
If I cant do this with the six drop downs, can I do it if any change has happened to the recorded.
i'm wondering if anyone has a solution to date stamp a memo field every time information is added.
e.g.
9/7 11:03 AM>1st sample information added 9/8 10:30 AM>2nd sample information added 9/9 2:34 PM>3rd sample information added
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
I'm exporting a query from Access to an ASCII text file. It is automatically adding a time stamp (0:00:00) to the end of ALL of my date fields. I would like it if it didn't do this...:D

View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to derive the month in digits from a date/time stamp field. Any month between 10 and 12, I need the first 2 digits but anything <=9 is only 1 digit.
MONTH: IIf(Left([LOAD TO SKU LEVEL DETAIL]![PICK_PLAN_TS],2)="10" Or "11" Or "12",

On my form have a status field with about 7 options to choose from a combo box, i have these values set in another table. What i would like is for my other field, which is a date, to automatically change whenever the status field is changed. So i know how long ago the status field was set. So basically if i change the status to complete i want the date to then set the date and time now.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a make-table query that pulls all the fields from 1 table (MainTable), and creates a new table with a date stamp based apon a form value entered (New Table = MainTableWithDate).
Currently, I setup the query to pull info from the form field like this:
DateField: [Forms]![frmmain]![DateField]
However, when the make-table query is done - all date fields are blank (all other fields are correctly created), and when I look at the new created table (mainTableWIthDate), the typeassigned to the date field is "Binary" (in the form, I've specified LongDate).
Hi all,
Im just wondering about a date stamp which is in one of my queries. The database which i am working on is for a fuels company, one of the tables they have is a runout table, obviously for when fuel runs out at a station and also contains sales history. They have used a date stamp, so they can see how many runout were recorded each day.
My user now wants to be able to see what the previous 'date stamps' sales were, which is DATE_STAMP-1. I was just wondering if this was actually possible, i have tried several different ways of adding the criteria to the DATE_STAMP fields but it doesnt work and have got no where. I would be grateful of any help.
Thanks :)
I have a CSV file that is going to be imported into a DB.
the CSV file has a field that has a date & time stamp and I need to be able to store this file as 2 seperate fields....
the field would look something like this:
5/10/2006 17:00
I would like to store the datestamp and possibly the timestamp but the timestamp is not very NB!
I update, import and export tables, problem is I need a way to track what I have done or allow someone to pick up where I left off. Is there a way for MS Access to return the Create or Modified Date and time stamp of any table? :eek:

I have a form with a combo box field called Transaction Status with two values to choose from.."Approved" and "Rejected". I also have an "Approved Date" field.
When a transaction goes into "Approved" status, I want the Approved Date field to be date stamped with that days date. Currently in my Approved Date fields Control Source I have the following formula "=IIf([Transaction Status]="approved",Date()).
The problem is when a transaction gets approved the Approved Date comes up with the correct date like it is supposed to but the date does not seem to be fixed, it changes as with every new day.
One thought I had is to put this formula into the "defauld value" property, could that work?
Thanks!!!
Does anyone know how to put a checkbox on a form and when the check box is changes from blank to checked it puts the current date in that field? Can this be done by formatting the properties or create an event? Or does VB Code need to be written? Any assistance would be helpful.

Hi everybody,
I am a poor Access newbie and I am trying to create a mask with a button which fills the current date and time in a field to be used as a timestamp.
Thank you for your help

I have a database that is for a manufacturing process and there is a field for date/time to be recorded when a product at each step in the process is started and completed. I would like to automate the date/time stamp (maybe when the field is double-clicked on a query or form). BTW, I have seen the auto update option when a record is updated, but a record will be updated multiple times at every step in the process.

Can you have a date/time stamp on a form to see when it was entered?
Since it is near impossible for me to be "real time" with the data and when reports are run from the database right now, I would like be be able to say to a manager I received the information on this day but did not input it until this day.
I'm quite new to Access.I've got an long text field with logging, and an field within an form with column history. Is there a way to turn of the date and time stamp and the column history field?

I have a barcode input form. When a barcode is scanned, the value of the barcode, along with a date/time stamp using the now() function (hh:mm:ss) is entered into a table in the database as 2 separate columns. I need to make sure that I don't have any 2 barcodes with exactly the same date/time. They must be at least 1 second apart. How can I easily make this happen? I can't control how many times the barcode actually gets scanned.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a database that contains a table with all tasks made in our team and the time it takes to perform the task. I have another table with month, year and value in which I put month after month the volumes that each task handles. So, in a query I multiply the time to perform the task and the volume; month after month I have different results. However "the time to perform the task" may vary depending on processes improvements that we made. If before I had 5 minutes to perform the task and now I have 2, I change it and then the results on the query are changed for all months. I do not know if there is a way to specify that that change must be applied from the month where it is updated to the following months and not retroactively.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have come across a weird event from the 1st July.
I have a form that inputs dates into the table.......nothing special.......
Form is totally unbound and the insertion to the table is done via DoCmd.RunSQL Insert every thing has been fine until the 1st of July at this point it started saving the date into the table in American format 07/02/2013 instead of UK 02/07/2013 There have been no changes to the database at all to give me a reason why this has happened.
The Table fields are set to Date Fields.
The SQL Insert was set to Date ( #" & DATE & "# )
The date displayed on the form is in the correct format to get around this I have set the insert of the date as a string ( '" & DATE & "' ) AND how can i reformat the dates that are incorrectly inserted to the correct format as they include the date and time 07/02/2012 11:11:47
There is about 1000 lines so manual change will be a nightmare.
Could someone look at my code and tell me why my “Me.TargetDate.Undo” won’t work?
First, let me say that the TargetDate field has an On-Click event that calls a module written by Allen Browne), which is shown below and works great.
=CalendarFor([TargetDate],"Select a date from the calendar ")
What happens is that the Me.TargetDate.Undo event always keeps the date selected in the calendar.
Based on something I read from Rual Guy on another issue, I’ve used the TargetDate_LostFocus routine to check for some additional data entry errors. I’ve tried moving the code in “Private Sub TargetDate_Exit(Cancel As Integer)” to the LostFocus, but it doesn’t make any difference to the Undo. I’ve also tried “I’ve tried “Private Sub TargetDate_Change(),Me.Undo…” but that doesn’t work either. :confused:
Private Sub TargetDate_Enter()
If Not IsNull(Me.TargetDate) Then
OldTarget = Me.TargetDate
End If
End Sub
Private Sub TargetDate_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If Not IsNull(Me.TargetDate) Then
If DateDiff("d", Me.DateOpened, Me.TargetDate) < 0 Then
MsgBox "You have selected a date that is before…bla bla"
Me.TargetDate.Undo
Me.TargetDate.SetFocus
ElseIf DateDiff("d", Date, Me.TargetDate) < 0 Then
MsgBox "You have selected a date that is prior to today's date…bla bla"
Me.TargetDate.Undo
Me.TargetDate.SetFocus
ElseIf Weekday(Me.TargetDate) = 1 Or Weekday(Me.TargetDate) = 7 Then
MsgBox "You have selected a date that falls on a weekend..bla bla"
Me.TargetDate.Undo
Me.TargetDate.SetFocus
End If
End If
End Sub
Private Sub TargetDate_LostFocus()
If Me.TargetDate > OldTarget And Me.cboAssignToID <> OldAssignee Then
MsgBox "The target date can only be changed if …bla bla"
Me.TargetDate.Undo
Me.TargetDate.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

I understand the problems that can be brought upon ones self by creating the table with lookup fields, But if the table was orginally designed with them and then the Field is then changed to a Text box instead of a Combo box will the inherent problems associated with the lookup within a table disappear?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
Im a relative access newbie, and am updating an already created form. I want the user to be able to change the value in a field , then when they exit the field, for it to be greyed out, so that no more editing of the field is possible.
I know how to lock the field in design view, but I want the field to lock after the user has amended it. Is this possible?
Many Thanks!
