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.
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
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 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 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.
I am trying to find a way to have a date and time stamp applied to records that I am importing from excel. I have not had much luck, and woudl appreciate any help.
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'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
I want to be able to put a barcode in a field that when a reader scans the barcode it records the current time. Need it for access control to record who is in and out of the office. Reading other threads I understand it may be possible in Dlookup.
I'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", (Left([LOAD TO SKU LEVEL DETAIL]![PICK_PLAN_TS],2),(Left([LOAD TO SKU LEVEL DETAIL]![PICK_PLAN_TS],1))))
OK... Did some searching and posted one question on forms... But still have one important question that has not been answered. First let me say I want to use a scanner connected via USB. ( I need to be able to use this app on a laptop, so keyboard wedge is not possible) Found a quote on a site "TalTech"... Something like that...... This one.. "1) Keyboard Wedge output or USB output
If your bar code scanner has Keyboard Wedge output or USB output you will not need special data collection software. Both these outputs will dump the data right into the foreground application on your PC wherever the cursor is flashing, as if it were being typed in. You do not usually get much control except for the addition of a trailing keystroke, such as an ENTER key, to your data. But these methods are very simple and work fine for many people."
Question is...... Is this true??? Will the USB input directly to the field I want it to?? I just need someone with some experience in this to let me know for sure.
hi guys, i am slowly learning access by browsing these forums and using microsoft help and downloading example databases. problem is - i have no formal training in it and am just sort of poking around. how did you guys learn? is there a good book out there to read, or did you take a course in it?
right now i am trying to develop a database of tracking product through a factory. technicians would scan the barcode for a pump before and after every process. i made it a simple table coupled with a form where they input the barcode # and a timestamp was coupled with it. later, youd be able to graph the time stamps so you can see process times, how many are in work in process, etc.
my specific questions are:
when i use the timestamp feature, it updates the time when a new record is brought up, but i want the timestamp to register when they click the add entry button. so far i have the default value =Time() for one, and =Date() for the other ...
next is, i want each workstation with this open to have its own unique identifier. for example, one program in assembly station should automatically input "assembly" for where the record was added in, how is this done?
lastly, i have a barcode scanner that operates like text input, i have an area on the form for the barcode, so when it scans it enters the number. is there a way that once the field gets 8 digits entered into it, it automatically goes to the next field on the form? i would like for users to pull the trigger and not have to hit enter again ...
a big THANK YOU for all you access gurus, i have been browsing these forums learning a lot. i hope i can achieve your level so i can help others as well. Thanks again
I have created a form that I would like to search for a barcode by using a scanner as an input device. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? The form basically holds a subform of textboxes that have barcodes. I want the user to be able to scan a barcode which will then find that barcode in the subform and assign it with a DateOut = Date() ...
I have done this in the past but it has been sooo long since I consistently used Access that I am in a fog:confused:
How can I create a timestamp or series thereof, so that each time data is added to a Memo field there is a date time record created? My goal is to allow people to enter notes but have the timestamp automatically either append itself to the note OR timestamp a seperate field? Open to ideas...
I been through about 15 different time stamp threads and none of them seem to get to the point. I have a texbox on my form where a user can enter a comment. I would like a timestamp just to be on the form next to the box so anyone looking at it can tell when the comment box was updated. Is this possible in Access? Someone Please point me in the right direction...
Hello buddies :D, do you have any idea how to make this work?
To select data that falls within this criteria of date range between cboDate and cboDate2 (fields on my form). The date in [tblJobDetails]![timeIn] come in this format "08/17/06 10:24 AM", but the cboDate/cboDate2 (takes in date only e.g 08/17/06) what i am after is to evaluate specific hard coded time in addition to the date entered, i.e. even tho, i haven't entered time on the cboDate/cboDate2, I want specific time hard coded where e.g If i select a date range of 08/17/06 and 08/18/06 on my cboDate and cboDate2 it should really be evaluating: 08/17/06 8:00 AM to 08/18/06 8:00 AM.
This is the criteria i curentlly have on my query in design view tha works perfect in selecting date only. ([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Is Null) And ([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Is Null) How can I incorporate 8:00am to 8:00am into my cboDate and cboDate2. What can i do to make this happen? Your kindness will be greatly appreciated http://www.naijaryders.com/forums/images/smilies/thankyou.gif
need help regarding part of a database I am trying to get functioning. User scans a card with a barcode need to log the entry time and reduce a unit value by 1 in a table e.g user has 20 credits when they log in thier time is recorded and 1 credit is deducted from the 20 credits a warning is displayed when the credits are reduced to 1. I am a novice in this , am using ms access, thanks in advance
I am trying to do has to be done in a table and without the use of forms (becasue its what works for us) in Access 2007. I have a table where my staff records a number of different data fields for accounts. I currently have a 3 table relationship established. One of these table is our "Notes" table. My staff enters continuous notes for different accounts as new information come in.
What I have done is set my "date" field's default value to "now()" which accomplishes the time-stamp I need, but at the same time as soon as they type anything in another field in that row Access creates another row which is unwanted. follow up how can I go about also having a field that auto fills w/ the user's name/ID?
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.
I have searched for the answer but just can't seem to find the answer...
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?
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.
