This used to be an easy one. . . but has anyone noticed that long date format no longer shows the day on the end? I have looked through the regional windows settings too and i cant find it anymore. What i would like is to group some results by date on a form with it displaying the day as like a diary style listing. Any help would be greatly appreciated....
I am creating a repayment schedule (as a report) and I want to display a series of fields as a column which return (show) a date one month after the date in the field above.
The first repayment date field (Line 1) will show a date one month after the loan was paid out. the Next field below will show the date one month later.
I can't simply insert the "Date + 30" because that would get out of since over the year. If the loan was issued on say the 15th of January, I need the first field to display 15th February and the next would be .... 15th March.... Yes - You've got it!
Now I could do that in Excel, but I don't know how to get Access to do it.
I have just taken over an access database written by someone else. I am being asked to write some customized reports that will be extracted to excel and passed around to the team.
The database is used to track employee assignments and show us who is available and what percentage they are assigned to a task. The current report shows their percentage of assignments by month. The current column headers in the table are Month1, Month2, Month3, etc.
In the report I am creating, I would like to write it so that it pulls data based on criteria I give, but I want the columns to show Month1 as the current month, and Month2 as next month, etc. So instead of Month1, Month2, Month3... I will have September, October, November.
I cant seem to figure out how to calculate the "display as" part. When I put the formula Format(Now(),"mmmm"), the formula appears as the column name, not the expected value.
is there a way about how to display date format inside on date field? (but if user want to type the data then the date format automatically be deleted)
currently i just put the date format label below of the date field like this picture:
Hello, I've searched the forums and all over the web, but I still can't figure out how to solve my problem.
I am creating a contact manager/scheduler. There are several tables in this database but the only ones that are involved with this problem are the following:
Contacts Table (main table stores all the contact info)
Meetings Table (stores all the meetings for all contacts)
The field relating the two tables is ContactID.
I have created a tabbed form allowing the user enter Contact Info, Meetings Info, Call History etc. Entering Meeting Info, is done on a subform and the subform will only display the meetings scheduled for the specific ContactID being modified. So everything works great.
What I am trying to accomplish now is to show the very next appointment for the specific ContactID being modified. Meaning if I'm editing/adding info for a specific ContactID, I would like to display above the subform (maybe in a textbox not sure) the very next meeting scheduled for that contact.
Currently the user can simply browse through the subform (meetings) for that Contact ID, and find the next meeting, but I think it would make it a lot more user friendly if the next meeting would be displayed automatically.
So what I am trying to figure out, is how to parse the Meetings table for the specific ContactId being modified and find a meeting date that is later then NOW() but is also the earliest date from now (hopefully this makes sense). If there is now such date, I would like to display "There is no scheduled meetings" (or something along the lines of that).
How can I accomplish this? Would be through a query?
Hopefully my explaination was clear, and I would appreciate any help, because I have really hit a road block...
I have a query that returns hours of vacation time taken for each specfic day of the year. But if no time is taken on for example Jan. 19th, that date do not show up in the query. I am wondering is it possible to return all 365 days and display a zero,if nothing is booked for that day. Attached is the db.
I would like to display a page that tells the user that there are no "bookings" for TODAY. It is a restaurant booking database which I have nearly completed. When there are bookings for TODAY, it shows a table with the customers booked for today (that's working ok), but if there aren't any for 'today' when I open that page, it just shows the headings of the table with no customers. I'd like to just display a message (and no table elements) when there aren't any bookings for today. Pretty confusing explanation? sorry bout that.
Hello, I'm attempting to create a report for a major school district in TX. I need to have the total number of records entered each month and a cumulative number of records entered for the year. Can anyone help me with this?
It's a small publishing business with a monthly newsletter. Access and database set-ups is not really my field but I'm going to give it a as much of my time as I can. I've gone through a number of tutorials and most of it is reasonably digestible but I think I have stumbled upon a hurdle.
The newsletter is a yearly paid-subscription and I need to be able to put up a sort of query/reminder of which subscribers need to renew. So that means I need to add 1 year to the subscribe date. After a bit of Googling I found a lot of DateAdd() function references for a similar problem but nothing really explaining how or where to implement it.
DateAdd("m", 12, [DateLastCalibrated])
I assume the [DateLastCalibrated] should be able to be replaced with my subscribed date but I get a number of invalid errors. Does it have to be implemented as a query? Should I create a calculate field? Do I even need to use this!?
hi, i have created a form and would like to display todays date and time in the following format
Mon 6 June 2005 24:00
this will literally be just on the form, no link to anything or any extra dynamic features. just there for the user's benefit
if anyone could tell me the steps that need to be taken, im guessing some formatting will need to be done, or some script will need to be placed in the form event code builder. i have only recently focused my attention on ms access so a descriptive but to the point explanation will be ideal thanks
i would like to display the date and week number on one of my forms but have no idea about dates and how to code this. can some one help? id appreciate it it beyond me :confused:
If I key in to the control source of a text box "=Date()-184" I will get the date 6 months ago but if I tried the same of 06/10/05 I will lose a day because of the 30/31 day months. Does anybody know another way around this?
I have two fields in a form that are both bound to the same date/time control source. One is for the date, one for the time. Using the format and input mask properties is some help. But when the focus is on the field the entire date + time displays. I would like the date field to show just the date portion and the time to show just the time portion, but haven't figured out how yet. thanks, roy
I created a query with: Between [Forms]![Dummy]![StartDate:] And [Forms]![Dummy]![EndDate:] in it.
I created a Form with two text boxes named StartDate and EndDate and appropriate labels and buttons.
I then Created a Report, which prompts for dates and finds the data between the given Dates correctly.
Now the problem: When I create a text box in the report of the following form, I get ?Name? error on the Report: =[Forms]![Form Name]![StartDate] This should work? Can you help me solve this last problem and acheive a good working program?
I want to display today's date on a form. No connection to a table or anything like that just a label or such. I have a placed a text box on the form and set the Control Source to '=Date()' and it displays the date in a short form, eg. 11/11/2014.
What I want to do is display it in what I think is called Medium Date so that it displays as 11-Nov-2014. I suspect I need to place something inside those parentheses, but what?
Say I have a form and the user inputs a date, say "21/02/2014" into a text box, how can I get another text box on the form to display the day afters date ("22/02/2014").
I'm sure its really easy but I cant seem to get it to work.
