I curently have a query based on a payments table. In the payments table there is a field called date (when the payment was processed).
I want to be able to display, in my query, the quarter that this payment was made in. It is based on financial quarters so quarter 1 starts on April the 1st.
The default of firstweek seems to be January the 1st. Can I change it to April the 1st - if so how?
Hi i followed the link below http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179371 and was successful to put the password on my form. my question is how do i change the default password to my own. i have tried but failed. Any help will highly aprreciated
IT guy quit. New forms printer installed and unable to relate/find form or query that default printer is pointing to to change to new printer. Non programmer. Clueless. program is 10MB and database is 2.3MB searched through forms/reports/ and queries. too much **** to look at
I have tried to change the default database with the tools options general tab. I type in the change and it sticks as long as I do not get out of Access. However, once I do get out it goes back to the old default selection. How can I make this stick??
I have a column for default value of today's date "Date()". In the next column there is formula for no of days which calculates as
No. of days = ([Today's Date] - [Audit Date]/7*5 (/7*5 excludes sat and sunday).
My problem is that default value of date does not change as i open the table everyday. I know why. Coz i introduced the date column after 200 records already entered.
Now today's date only changes if new record is inserted.
How to get current today's date everyday automatically ? when we open the database next day !
note that I am using Today's date only for calculating number of day's formula. otherwise no function of this column.
I've tried to change the default of a yes/No field so that it's either NUll or "" or Yes. This has proved unsuccessful and all the fields are still showing as No for default unless I obviously select Yes
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the Default of this field to either Yes or so that there is Null?
How can I change the default message (as you can see in the picture) that appear every time that I try to update my record?
I want to write something like "You Have to select a different Number"
And one more question, the message only appear when I'm pressing the record selectorbutton only after the user has already filled all the form) is there a possibility that I can write a code that will check for duplicate data immediately after the user typed it?
Access 2010. I inherited a database that I need to copy and get it ready for next year's data. There are several places in the various tables where the default value on a field is 2013. I need to change to 2014. Any vba code or macro that I can do this without opening all the tables to change the values?
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?
Previously, using Windows Professional 2000 and Office Professional 2000, a Access File > Export... would always assume (default to) Excel (.xls) as the "Save type As...".
Now, my system has been upgraded to XP Professional and Office Prof 2003, and now the File > Export... always defaults to Access (*.mdb,...) as the file type. It is not a big problem, just a nuisance. I don't like repeatedly re-selecting *.xls from the drop down list every time I export. (After all, computers and even upgrades should make our life easier, not harder, right?)
Can I somehow select or configure Access to use *.xls as the default Export... file type?
My workstation has a default printer that only prints A4, but I have an Access 2007 file with reports that require A3.
When I open these reports they see the A4 'default' printer.
If I try to change to the A3 printer in the report page setup (in design or print preview mode) it doesn't change - it keeps the default 'A4' and/or Access crashes.
If I change my workstation default printer to
The A3 printer and then open the Access file & report it works Ok (it picks up the A3 printer as default).
Can I use VBA to set the default printer and page setup to A3 when the report opens?
I have a mainform with a listbox and a subform sitting in the mainform. The default view of mainform is single. The listbox displays a list of people. When the user clicks on a row of the listbox the subform shows detailed data about that person. The layout of the subform covers almost half of the area of the mainform. It works except that the subform automatically takes table view as if there were many records to display although it displays only the selected record. This automatic manipulation of the default view does not look good at all.
I've got a form (frmEdit) that allows users to search tblMain for records using a bunch of unbound controls and a dynamically created SQL statement. Search results are displayed in a subform (subMain), and the current record in the subform is displayed in a set of bound controls on frmEdit.
Now the important bit: There is a set of unbound checkboxes on my form that allow the user to change which fields are visible in subMain. This is accomplished by the following:
Code: Private Sub chkName_AfterUpdate() If Me.chkName = 0 Then Me.subMain.Form.CorrespondingField.ColumnHidden = True Else Me.subMain.Form.CorrespondingField.ColumnHidden = False End If End Sub
Certain fields are visible by default, but the user may want to change which fields those are. Here's what I've done so far to accomplish this:
Created a button (btnChangeDefaults) that opens a form (frmChangeDefaults)
Put checkboxes for each table field on frmChangeDefaults
Put a "Cancel" button (btnCancel)* and "Done" button (btnDone)** on frmChangeDefaults.
*btnCancel just closes frmChangeDefaults without making any changes to frmChangeDefaults or frmEdit
**btnDone changes Forms.frmEdit.Form.chkName.DefaultValue to Me.CorrespondingCheckBox.Value and then closes frmChangeDefaults
This all seems to work quite well, actually. Debugging confirms that the default values of the checkboxes on frmEdit are indeed changed when I click btnDone. But when I close frmEdit and re-open it, the default values return to what they were prior. This happens even when:
I close frmEdit using DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmEdit", acSaveYes
I close frmEdit after using DoCmd.Save acForm, "FrmEdit"
I save frmEdit manually by right-clicking and pressing save
Any way to change the default way a field is selected in a form so that it doesn't highlight all the text when you tab?I have the standard black text on a white background but when the whole field is highlighted it looks ugly and I think is quite difficult to read until you click into it.
I have a form with a subform where I want to select (via button) which format to open the form in. Opening the form is simple, DoCmd.OpenForm (FormName),acFormDS to open in datasheet, however, the subform opens in default view (single form). Can you programmatically set the property on the subform to change the Default View from Single Form to Datasheet and back?
I am using a DLookup to default a value in my TextBox. This text box has an event attached to it that updates a table when a different value is entered.
I am having difficulty in getting the default value to reappear when I change my criteria.
For instance Manufacturer is Ford
Colour is default Black
I Change the colour to red
now I change Manufacturer to Audi
I need Default colour to go back to Black
The Lookup Table says Black its just that the default value only seems to run once, first time in and never again unless i exit the database and reopen it.
I have tried adding
Form.Repaint form.Refresh Form.Requery to my afterupdate query
Have been unable to find any solutions for this in the forum or the help files in Access.
Project has a [cutindate] and an [enddate]. A [flatamount] ($$ savings amount].
I am calculating the month savings by dividing the [flatamount] by the number of months between [cutindate] and [enddate] using DatePart().
With the help of someone on the forum I have a table "MonthOffset" which just has the numbers 1-12 in the [MonthOffSet] column. Using this, I can get my query to take the monthly savings amount and disperse it to each month for the next 12 months beginning with the [cutindate]. This was my original direction. They now don't want to see it dispersed over 12 months, but rather just show savings between the [cutindate] and [enddate]. I can get the correct monthly savings in my query, but it is still showing it for 12 months, i.e. [flatamount] is $50k, monthly savings is for 5 months, $10k showing for each of 12 months. I can just use this, then make another query to only show the monthly savings between the months I need but I would like to get it done in one query.
Project ID has a cut in date of 2/1/2006 but the savings will only last until 8/1/2006.
Has anyone had to do this before?
I have tried this in the criteria of my SavingsMonth field:
[MonthOffSet] Between DatePart("m",DateValue([cutindate]) AND DatePart("m",DateValue([enddate])))
But keep getting the message: You did not enter the keyword And in the Between...And operator. The correct syntax is "expression [Not] Between value1 and value2"
If I can get any suggestions I would appreciate it. I need to run a report on total number of calls, daily and I need to sort it by week. I used the Sorting and Grouping options and I can sort them. what I need to accomplish is to have the week start on a Monday instead of the default Sunday. When the first data of the week does not start on a Monday, the heading date of that week will be the date of when it is first recorded. So, if i have no calls on Monday or Tuesday but there are records for Wednesday, it will have Wednesday date as the heading for that week. I went through the help online for Access and it mention I can create expressions to help using the Datepart heading. But, it didn't recognize the expression. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
If it's a 1, it displays the full date. If it's zero, it's supposed to display the year of the date.
The first part works fine. If it's a 1, it shows the date. However, if it's a 0...it shows a date not even remotely close...and they're all the same. 06/28/1905.
I have been using the function DatePart to select records from a field of a datetime type, and had seen somewhere (an old Access refrence book?) that it is possible to use DatePart to select more than one time setting, but I have not found out if this is actually possible, or the syntax for it if it is.
In selecting a time range, I would like to use a single query (eg Between 0900 and 1730) to represent a working day, with the criteria "hn" in the datePart function. At present I have to use two selection criteria to achive this (h Between 9 and 16; h = 17 AND n <30)
Ay help/suggestions, and especially an example, would be greatly appreciated. I am using Access 2003.
I am using a DatePart function to get the week number for various dates in my project (DatePart("ww",[date],vbsunday)). Is it possible to set the firstday setting of the function (vbsunday) by referring it to a field in another form. I have tried but get an error. I am hoping to achieve this because the database will be distributed to various agencies which have different first day of the week for their schedules. I want to avoid re-writing the code for each agency. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using the following in a query qwhich allows me to enter the week number as the criteria:
DatePart('ww',[Visitdate],2,2)
This works fine , no problems. What I would like to know, is it possible to enter muliptle week numbers in the criteria, say 14 16 21 to give me output for those weeks, I have tried different separators to no effect ie. : and ; It may be that it simply is not possible but it would be extremely useful if ti was.
