Hey, its been a while since I've posted here, wow.
I had a database that contained samples on different date functions
(first of the month, last of the month, first weekday, etc...)
I can not find it, I have tried searching. I am pretty sure I got it from here.
Does anyone know where this is?
Hello,
I am trying to create a query that subtracts "TimeOUT" from "TimeIN" fields to calculate the total time worked.
The "TotalTime" is a new field that is not in the table, only in the query.
I am attempting to use the DateDiff function to calculate this, but I need to return both hours and minutes.
Currently, it looks like this:
Total Time: DateDiff("h",[Time IN],[Time OUT])
It works this way to return the total time in hours only.
The DateDiff function works to return either hours (h) or minutes (n) but I cannot figure out how to get both!
Perhaps someone has an answer or possibly a better way to get the results in hour:minute format for me??!!
I'm trying to add a txtfield that the control source is 65 years prior the current date.
So the control source should come up with "1940". I've tried the datediff function, but not having any luck...any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hello,
I would like to ask if I would like to count the number of days between two date, but EXCLUDE Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays since the workers ONLY work Monday thru Thursday. I am using the function DateDiff as follow:
DateDiff("d",[Date1],[Date2]) with Date 2 is later than Date 1.
However, the results count calendar days. HOW do I exclude Fridays thru Sundays fall within Date 1 AND Date 2?
Please help!
Thanks so much,
Hi all
l'm running a query that has a field with the following formula;
[Anniv_date]=01/03/2006
[NextEBDay]=01/07/2006
[LastPayToDate]= In this case is 25/11/2005
To_Anniv_wks: IIf([Anniv_date]<[Forms]![DateEB]![NextEBDay],(DateDiff("w",[Forms]![DateEB]![LastPayToDate],[Anniv_date])),0)
The result returns 13. However l know the answer should be 14. Coz when l enter the information in excel l get 13.71.
l've tried using the round function with no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Basically my database is for a library based on borrowing/returning books ect
Everything works except this one thing, in one of my forms I can ask the user to input a book number of the book they want to check if it has been returned or not, if it hasnt been returned within 30 days then it will come up with overdue.
The statement im trying to use i cant get it to work.
=IIf([DateDiff("d",[Borrow Date],Now()>30)
I want it to display overdue if the book isn't returned in 30 days of the borrow date.
I am struggling with the DateDiff fuction in a calculated field. After some study, I have used several variations of:
=(DateDiff("d",[DUED],Date())/7)
to calculate the time (in weeks) until a due date starting from today's date.
It continually turns up a specific date in the late 18 and early 1900's. It does not give me the number in weeks which was what I was hoping for.
Earlier I used a very simple: =DateDiff("m",[Birthdate],Date()) to calculate the age from a date of birth perfectly with no problems.
I do not understand why the formula is not working. Does it have to do with format or the fact that I am working with a future date and how can I rectify this problem?
I have a specific question on the datediff function.
My example is =DateDiff("d",[Policy Issue Date],Date()) where [Policy Issue Date] is the inception date of an Insurance Policy.
I need to determine how many days the policy has been inforce. The formula works great in a query and I can see the number of days in that field when the query is run.
However, my dilemma is I want the same function to run off of a text box using its control source property and have the number of days calculate and be visible for each record on the form. This part is not working and the field is returning the #Error? message.
Hi All
I've created a database where a query who'se result is loaded on a form uses following function --
DateDiff('d',Date(),[Target Date])-(DateDiff('ww',Date(),[Target Date])*2)-(Select Count(*) from [tblHolidays] where [HolidayDate] between Date() and [Target Date])
I've notice that 2 ppl get an error message when they try to open database, with thatt function coming on an error message
Does this mean they have older access version ?
How can I tell ? Any advise on what to do ?
I am finishing up a database that logs basic activities/tasks for my coworkers. As they go in to the database and log an activity in it stays open until they end their day or they start a new task. All this works fine, but the problem comes when I try to determine the total time spent (in hours) on each activity/task. I have written similar queries before and they worked just fine, but for some reason I am having trouble getting this one to work. Here is the expression I'm using...
Time Diff (in hrs): DateDiff("h",[Sample_TM_Table_1]![Time_In],[Sample_TM_Table_1]![Time_Out])
Unfortunately, say Time_In = 8:32:38 am and Time_Out = 8:33:03 am
The expression says that is equal to 946632.
For another Time_In = 8:33:00 am and Time_Out = 3:18:19 PM.
The expression says this equals 946639.
I have tried changing the format of the date/time in both Time_In and Time_Out fields to ensure they were the same and cross checked the expression but still get the same answers each time. Even when I try to use "n" for the interval or "s" it is still highly incorrect. The only thing that makes me think I still have a formatting issue is that the Time_In shows a long date on the results table while Time_Out shows it in a general date format. However, when I go into both the table and the queries to check the formatting they both show general date. Any ideas? I'm all out! Thanks in advance.
I am trying to calculate the difference in dates between two fields. How do I find the difference in days between field one which contains the date 04/12/2011 and field two which contains the date 04/12/2013? I have tried to use the datediff function, but it keeps telling me it doesn't recognize the field name, even though the spellings correct.

Hi,
I'm in over my head with something I've been asked to do at work as my access skills are pretty basic.
I need a sample database containing PRODUCTS and SUPPLIERS, that lets you book IN stock received from the supplier (and adds to the stock level) and lets you book OUT stock issued to staff (and reduces the stock level)
I'll have a go at reorder levels, form design, stuff like that myself, but I'm having trouble with these very basic requirements.
Does anyone know of a sample database that I can download to learn some of this from?
Hello all,
I finally got TreeView to work, by downloading the example database from this (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=80805&highlight=treeview) thread. I haven't had as much luck with ListView, though. Does anyone have a database they could post that has a working listview? I'd greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks,

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anybody would be kind enough to help me with a problem that I have with regards to a 'Contacts Database' that I found under the Sample Database link on this site - posted by MStCyr. When I try to navigate through A-Z buttons I am presented with a dialogue box which states " the object doesn't contain the Automation object 'RecordsetClone', whatever that means??
I would like to use this sample DB in my project however it is presently unusable unless I can figure out how to clear this problem. If this is not achievable could you please point me in the right direction where I could find a similar, downloadable file.
Hopefully a more experienced forum member than I could please help me out.........
Best Regards

Hello!
I'm still working on this supplier database for my boss and the supplier filter section is still causing me problems.
Let me set the scene for you....
I have a form with 3 combo boxes on it. These are cboProg, cboPPS & cboSupplier.
I need to get the combo's working so that when you select a programme from cboProg it filters the list in cboPPS (Primary Product or Service) to show only products and/or services that are used on that programme. In turn I need to make it so that when you select one of these Primary Product or Service's from cboPPS it filters the list of suppliers in cboSupplier to show only suppliers that provide that product or service.
Essentially, I have a HUGE list of suppliers that I want to filter down to suppliers that work on a programme providing a particular product or service using the combo boxes in the order shown below.
Programme (cboProg) --(filters)--> Primary Product or Service (cboPPS) --(filters)--> Supplier (cboSupplier)
When I have filtered the list of suppliers down to a list that worked on programme X, providing product or service Y, I'd like to make it so that you can just double click on that suppliers name to open their details.
I've based my previous efforts on a sample database called dbcombos that I found on this forum (I've attached it to this post). The only problem with this database is that it’s 2 sets of 2 tiered combo boxes on the same form and not a 4 tiered set of combo boxes as I originally thought.
Any ideas? All help greatly appreciated!

I am experiencing a problem with the mousetrap sample after I secured my database.
When I save on my main form and I try to go to my subform I keep getting the "Please Save this Record! You can not advance to another record until you either 'Save' the changes made to this record or 'Undo' your changed."
I have saved but it is still preventing me from going to the my subform. I numbered the Save Required msgs so that I know which one I am getting and I am getting the one from:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_Form_BeforeUpdate
Me.tbHidden.SetFocus
If Me.tbProperSave.Value = "No" Then
Beep
MsgBox "Please Save This Record!" & vbCrLf & vbLf & "You can not advance to another record until you either 'Save' the changes made to this record or 'Undo' your changes.7", vbExclamation, "Save Required"
DoCmd.CancelEvent
Exit Sub
End If
Exit_Form_BeforeUpdate:
Exit Sub
Err_Form_BeforeUpdate:
If Err = 3020 Then 'Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit
Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox Err.Number, Err.Description
Resume Exit_Form_BeforeUpdate
End If
End Sub
Above it is checking if tbProperSave.Value = "No" and in bSave you have
Case vbYes: 'Save the changes
Me.tbProperSave.Value = "Yes"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
Me.tbProperSave.Value = "No"
So it's setting the value to no again?
I know it's not a permissions thing because I am admin and have full permissions on the forms.
Any suggestions?
I am trying to add extra validation in a sample db (done in A97 (converted to A2003)see attached.
I am attempting the following: Please not that the db has existing validation which I would like to keep (or change if advised) ...
Conditions:
1. Input into field "ID" must start with the letter P or p or R or r
2. If field "ID" starts with the letter P or p and field "Code" starts with the letter R or r, then a message stating that this combination is invalid should appear
3. If field "ID" starts with the letter R or r and field "Code" starts with the letter P or p, then a message stating that this combination is invalid should appear.
I would like to make some changes to the Northwind sample database.I need to have the Customers section completely removed as my company issues products to our own staff, not to external customers, so there is no Customers and shipping details needed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a SharePoint list that tracks the date/time of each stop of an order from its origin to its destination. The number of stops varies depending on the type of order (you can use train as a metaphor). The goal is to calculate the average time between each stop (we're trying to figure out where orders typically get held up).
Let's say there are stops A, B, C, D, and E. Every order starts at A and ends at E. If they all made every stop, I could easily get the average of datediff("d", B, A) etc.
However, since they make different numbers of stops, what I need is the difference between the stop and the last stop they actually made. I need a crosstab query (or report) that lists the OrderType as the row, the StopName as the column, and the average(datediff) as the value.
In a perfect world, this would be normalized and I'd have separate tables for the stops and the order types, but trying to do that through SharePoint is Not Fun and is going to confuse the end users.
Hi,
I have a problem with form design,
I want a form like in Northwind sample database: Summary of Sales by Year Report.
It use Sorting and Grouping for Footer that I can't find it in Form design.
Is it any other way to do it in Form design so I can get the same result like in Report design?.
The reason why I want it, because I want to control the size.
thankyou in advance for your help.

Any help would be really appreciated...
I have a database in the database I have products customers orders etc.
In Products table I have productid price etc. I would like to create another table and this table should consist of all product parts for example.
ProductID x uses
metalnumber23
stone45
plasticnumber43
so all metalnumber23, stone45, plasticnumber43 will be in Parts (new table that i will create) when i am entering a productid to Product table for that productid i should be able to choose which parts from parts table that it uses.
so in the order table if i customer ordered productID x I should be able to see all the parts that ProductID needs in the parts Parts table. There will be maybe 2000 parts but ProductID x will use only 3 of them. And if I create a query lets say order from z date to y dates I should be able to see parts needed for those products ordered.
hope you guys understand and give me a head start i would really appreciete
I have 2 database files.
database A has a button (buttonRun) that when clicked, it opens database B and runs the autoexec macro.
In database A, there's a label control (lblRun) next to the buttonRun that has its back style property set to transparent.
What I'm trying to accomplish is this:
After the procedure in database B completes, it exits the system. I want
lblRun's back style property to be set to normal.
I already have a function that does this and the function works fine from within the database A.
Code:
Dim frm As Form
Dim color As Variant
Set frm = Form_frmReportingDashboard
frm!lbl_cmslite.BackStyle = 1
I need to trigger that function from database B before it exits.
