I am new at programming within Access, and I am trying to develop a simple database that will record a timestamp when an order is placed. I have tried the Now() function, but that will record the timestamp on the desktop which can be changed manually before entering the record. Is there a way to record a timestamp using a Unix server or another desktop from access?
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm trying to extract data from a SQL table that has the date timestamp datatype.
so it looks like this: 2005-03-29 16:57:06.007
How can I query for a date range while ignoring the time part of the stamp.
EX. a parameter query for a month worth of encounters using the above date format.
thanks in advance.
I have a timestamp field in a database and only want to display the Date. In the query I placed this: Date Received: Format([RItemTimeStamp],"Short Date")
Works fine however if I try to run a query to serach for a date range it doesn't give me all the days. Is there a better way how to truncate the Date of a timestamp so that I can sort it correctly?
I'm very new to Access and this may be a REALLY simple question but ...
I have an Access 2000 db on a web-based server and a website form that inserts a record. Everything works properly but I now need to insert the date each time a record is entered. These records will not change or be updated once entered. I think there must be a way to have a hidden field in the web form which submits = Date() or whatever the right code would be.
The field I'm sending the date to is called "dateOfEntry" . Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.
How would I alter the below code to add a data and timestamp to an export?
Code:
Private Sub cmdExcel_Click()
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "qryResults", "ExcelWorkbook(*.xlsx)", "C:users" & Environ$("username") & "DocumentsqryResults & datetime.xlsx", , , , acExportQualityPrint
msgbox ("Export completed. Please click reset to return to original results.")
End Sub
After the & the datetime is showing up as file name.
The Timestamp Field I have is formatted like this: 11/4/2014 5:56:46 AM. The field name is [Timestamp] it is in a table named INPUT_RedSheets_Plates. I have a query right now that pulls in certain fields from this table based on criteria of the [Type] field Like This:
Code:
SELECT INPUT_RedSheets_Plates.[Type], INPUT_RedSheets_Plates.[BatchDate],
INPUT_RedSheets_Plates.[BatchNumber], INPUT_RedSheets_Plates.[SampleNumber],
INPUT_RedSheets_Plates.[Compound], INPUT_RedSheets_Plates.[DateRequested],
INPUT_RedSheets_Plates.[RequestedBy], INPUT_RedSheets_Plates.[AcknowledgedBy],
[code]....
I have created a form that is bound to a table.
There is a button on the form that allows users to send email with the form as an attachment in pdf. I'd like to create a date/time stamp in another table called tblLog. Trouble is the code works uptil sending emails but it doesn't record the stamp.
Heres what I've done so far.
Private Sub cmdEmail_Amd_Click()
On Error GoTo cmdEmail_Amd_Click_Err
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmAmendment_Master", , , "[Record_ID]=" & Me.Record_ID.Value
DoCmd.SendObject acForm, "frmAmendment_Master", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", "", "", "", "Amendment Form" & " " & Surname & " " & Firstname, "", True, ""

I am new to access 2010. I have a table called "Forecasts", and I wish to update the timestamp with todays date, whenever the user makes a change to the qty of goods forecasted.
I have been researching online for the solution to the correct format to datetime, but it doesnt seem to work.
Code:
Dim todayDate As Date
todayDate = Date
Dim sqlString As String
sqlString = "UPDATE [Forecasts] " & _
[Code] .....
The messagebox shows:
UPDATE [Forecast] SET Branch_Plant=123, Item_Number_Short='222', Description='AAA', UOM='EA', Estimated_Cost=123, Requesting_Business_Unit='AAA', End_Customer='CCC', Project ='Secret', Timestamp=#26/12/2013# WHERE ID =24
Then I hit a syntax error. Whats wrong with sqlString?

I have a timestamp field in a database and only want to display the Date. In the query I placed this: Date Received: Format([RItemTimeStamp],"Short Date")
Works fine however if I try to run a query to serach for a date range it doesn't give me all the days.
I then tried this: Date Received: DateValue([RItemTimeStamp])
but get the message that the this expression is typed incorrectly or too complex. Here is the entire sql statement for this query:
SELECT DateValue([RItemTimeStamp]) AS [Date Received], Count(EARNS_Data_tbl.RTransaction) AS [Total EARNS Received], Format([RItemTimeStamp],"Long Time") AS [Time Received], Count(EARNS_Data_tbl.Earns_Processor) AS CountOfEarns_Processor
FROM EARNS_Data_tbl
GROUP BY DateValue([RItemTimeStamp]), Format([RItemTimeStamp],"Long Time")
HAVING (((DateValue([RItemTimeStamp])) Between [Forms]![PowerUserForm]![Start_Time_audit] And [Forms]![PowerUserForm]![End_Date_audit]))
ORDER BY DateValue([RItemTimeStamp]);
Hello,
I am a noobie. I am trying to create a text box on a form where when a user clicks/focuses on it, it jumps to the next line and automatically adds a date and time stamp so that there is a time record for each message following it. Thanks!

So i am using a forrm to add records to a database and I need to know exactly what time that particular record was added. How can i add a timestamp and have it be added as part of a record without the user seeing it on the form that they are filling out? Thanks for any help that can be given.
this is the form code:
Inserting Records :
Code:<form action="form_ac.asp" method="post">Name : <input type="text" name="name"><br>Email : <input type="text" name="email"><br>Country : <input type="text" name="country"><br>Comments : <textarea name="comments" cols="20" rows="5"></textarea><br><input type="submit" value="submit"></form>
Code to add records:
Code:<%' Declaring variablesDim name, email, country, comments, data_source, con, sql_insert' A Function to check if some field entered by user is emptyFunction ChkString(string)If string = "" Then string = " "ChkString = Replace(string, "'", "''")End Function' Receiving values from Formname = ChkString(Request.Form("name"))email = ChkString(Request.Form("email"))country = ChkString(Request.Form("country"))comments = ChkString(Request.Form("comments"))data_source = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & _Server.MapPath("access_db/form.mdb")sql_insert = "insert into users (name, email, country, comments) values ('" & _name & "', '" & email & "', '" & country & "', '" & comments & "')"' Creating Connection Object and opening the databaseSet con = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")con.Open data_sourcecon.Execute sql_insert' Done. Close the connectioncon.CloseSet con = NothingResponse.Redirect("showall.asp")%>
Thanks again!

I have a table with timestamp as one of the columns. I am having to use a passthrough query on this table to get a few other fields which are not available on the access front end. Now i am trying to filter those records based on a date range. But the passthrough wont let me give the date range! This is what i tried:
Code:
SELECT intake_taken, staff_7, accept, Reason_for_Rejection_party
FROM DBA.case_intake
WHERE matcode = 'S S' AND accept='N' AND intake_taken BETWEEN '06/01/2011 00:00:00 AM' AND '12/01/2011 00:00:00 AM';

I have a field in a database that captures the Timestamp in a format of m/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM. I have a query that need to extract the short date from this filed and sort it in an Ascending matter. I have the following in the Filed query: Date Received: Forma([TimeStamp],”Short Date”) but when trying to sort over a date range of 04/01/08 to 04/18/08 the data is not sorting correctly. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Help please
My code looks something like this and it work fine by producing an email and inserting into an access database
My problem is I also want to insert a timestamp into the column that already exists in the database and I just can't get the syntax right
SQL= "INSERT INTO Employees "
SQL= mySQL & "(FirstName,LastName,Address,City,Region,PostalCode ) "
SQL= SQL & "VALUES ('" & Request.Form("FirstName") & "','"
SQL= SQL & Request.Form("LastName") & "','"
SQL= SQL & Request.Form("Address") & "','"
SQL= SQL & Request.Form("City") & "','"
SQL= SQL & Request.Form("Region") & "','"
SQL= SQL & Request.Form("PostalCode") & "')"
I appreciate I might have to do
SQL= "INSERT INTO Employees "
SQL= mySQL & "(FirstName,LastName,Address,City,Region,PostalCode ,timestamp) "
SQL= SQL & "VALUES ('" & Request.Form("FirstName") & "','"
SQL= SQL & Request.Form("LastName") & "','"
SQL= SQL & Request.Form("Address") & "','"
SQL= SQL & Request.Form("City") & "','"
SQL= SQL & Request.Form("Region") & "','"
SQL= SQL & Request.Form("PostalCode") & "')"
but I cannot for the life of me workout the SQL line needed
Help would be much appreciated
I use a timestamp field in my tables to help me with productivity metrics for about 6 individuals who use one of my databases.
The issue I have is that their system times are constantly "out of whack." We fix them, and it just happens again. It apparently another program on the computer that causes the issue, but I can't do anything about that.
Is there another timesource available for the timestamp when using now()? Is there a way to use the time of the server (shared) that the backend is on?
I have no idea how to fix this issue.:confused:
I have a form that opens a subform with a list of work orders by who they are assigned to. I would like to be able to close any or all of the work orders. When I close them, I need the timestamp to be updated, but I can't seem to figure out just how to make that happen. Any ideas?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to have a time stamp for each record showing the creation time/date of the record. When following the description: [URL] ....
the outcome is, that each record shows the creation time/date of the record created before, which is not exactly what I want.I know this can be handled on form level (in the AfterInsert event), but I think it would be more elegant on table level. (Because obviously it has to be done in every form if there are multiple forms for the same table, and I it wouldn't work if somebody bypassed the form)
I'm trying to use DDL to add a DATE field as above with NOW() as the default value..
I am using the same syntax pretty much (Altering instead of Creating a table), but its not working..
The error I get is:

err.description = Syntax error in ALTER TABLE statement.
Code:
CurrentDb.Execute "ALTER TABLE MyTable ADD COLUMN RecordCreatedDate DATE DEFAULT NOW()"
I have a ticket database where tickets are added to access with no priority scores on them. Over time, meetings and discussions, those tickets are given scores through a form on my database. What I would like to do is somehow add a timestamp that shows exactly when a ticket went from being unscored, to having a priority score assigned to it. Note, before the ticket is scored; the Priority Score field is still blank. Null?
An idea I had was to somehow put a timestamp on the "Priority Score" field in my form that will only timestamp when that field goes from being blank to when it gets a number for the first time. It will not change the timestamp when that number is changed down the road. (We edit the priority scores, but I only want to know when the ticket was actually scored for the first time. This is for reporting purposes, how many new tickets we score each month, etc)
Could I do something along the lines of assigning code to the BeforeUpdate value of my Priority field on the form? Although I'm assuming this would put up a timestamp any time the field is altered afterwords also.
I have a table that records log entries for equipment and I'm trying to compose a query that calculates the time difference between consecutive timestamps for individual operators but can't quite get it to work out

Timestamp
Operator ID
I have the below SQL statement... In table2 there is another field called timestamp1... Is it possible to have the timestamp1 included in the below statement so that I will have a record of time the moment the records were inserted in table2? There is no timestamp1 field in table1.
