I have a text box on a form which is formatted as medium date and I want it to default to the Monday of the following week. So for today it should have 07-Mar-05 in the text box.
I am hoping someone can help me, a real novice at Access 2000 - I am trying to construct a couple fields in a table, 1 of which will show a default value equal to a 2-digit year (yy) based on the current date. The second will display a default value equal to a two digit month (mm) based on the current date. Text fields would be ideal, but date field could work if it's the only way. Thank you for helping out a newbie.
Am just trying to set the default value (on the form, not programmatically) of a text box to a date but with every attempt it either fails or sets the date to 1905-randmon month & random day.I've tried a few different methods from various online sources.
=Now() works fine.
Any attempt to set to an actual date returns 1905-Random Month-Random Day?I am trying to set it to the 1st day of the current month.Text Box is formatted as Short Date - Regional settings are set to the ISO standard numeric date format YYYY-MM-DD.
I'm having trouble with a Form and getting a text box entry box (Date entry) default to the date entered on the last record, which is linked to a table.
The only way I can get it to work is to type the date into the Text Box's Default property, for example, #11/13/13".
How to get the correct syntax or code into the Default property of the Text Box to make this work? I only want the entry to change versus the previous record/entry if the User changes / enters a new date.
I have a database which stores information relating to club members, which I'm in the middle of giving a bit of a facelift and one thing I want to automate is the calculation of the expiry date.
My memberships expire annually at the end of December and the expiry date is set as a default value within the table properties. This has to be manually changed every September (every new member from then pays for 15 months) to the following December.
Is there a formula I can insert in the defaul value field that will return December the current year if todays date is between January and August, and December next year if todays date is between September and December?
I have a search form with a text box for the user to enter a word or phrase to search the DB. I want the text box to have a default value to say "<Enter word or phrase here>"
I cant seem to figure it out. Any help would be great.
I am trying to set the result of a query as the default value for a text or combo box. I have tried setting the query as the default value in the box's property. I have also tried doing it in VB. The code looks like this
Dim SQL AS String
SQL = "SELECT Address FROM Table1 WHERE Name = Forms!Main_frm!name_lbx.Value;"
Forms!Address_frm!address_cbx.DefaultValue = SQL
I have also tried
Dim SQL AS String
SQL = DoCmd.OpenQuery([update address_qry])
Forms!Address_frm!address_cbx.Value = SQL
Where update address_qry is the same as the above.
I keep both forms. I know how to do it by setting the queries as values in a list box, then transfering the values to the text or combo boxes. But I was hoping there was an easier way.

I have a problem of setting default values for text box.I want that in my database date older than "X" days were canceled.I would like to be able to set this value from the form...Here is the algorithm:
- I open the form - "Formularz1" - I set the number of days (change value in text box and click "Change") - I close the form - When I open the form again, data older than the value (number of days) will be deleted from the database
In a file, which I enclose everything works like I wanted, but the number of days is stored in the table, but I would like to be inserted and changed the properties of the textbox. Is it be possible?
Can i move the blinking cursor to the end of field? I set in the options but it goes to the start of the field. and wants to overwrite the default text. I would like it to start at the end of the default text.
I am working on a database for my boss that stores the results of monthly file audits and generates reports. Each month about fifty files are checked against a check list and the results are to be entered into the database. Reports are generated quarterly. I have a date field that holds the date of the review. I would like the default value of this field to be what ever was entered in the previous record. That way this field can be tabbed through until the next month. When the data in the field is changed that will become the new default for the following records. I don't have any formal VB or VBA training. I just learn what I need for each project and save it for later use.
On my mainform I have a text box (FrmProj_ProjectEntry.txtDueDt) where I enter an expected date. On my subform I also have a textbox (FrmProj_ProjectEntry_Sub1.txtDueDt) for entering an expected date.
I would like the entered date on the mainform to become the default expected date on the subform for new records only. Once records are created the expected date can then be changed for each record.
How would I achieve this on an after update event on FrmProj_ProjectEntry.txtDueDt?
In a text box, [OrderDate], the default value is set to Date(). Now I wanna change the date without changing the default value and the new input value would be carried over to the next record until I say otherwise. Is there any way to do that?
Hi, I want to make a default value for the date when a record is inserted. I don't want to use Now() or Date(), I want to use one that only displays the month eg: "June" and that is all. Any ideas? Many thanks.
Hello, I have two newbie questions. First, when I design a checkbox in Form design view, how do I program or script the form so it will enter a "1" value on the corresponding tables database per column. (Just like in the option group design, where a click on each option generates a specific value on the tables database).
Second, how can I design the form where it can accept text strings as input and displays them 'as is' in the corresponding tables database as a text string.
