Enter Date Automatically

Oct 23, 2007

Can anyone tell me if the following is possible in a table or do I need to use a form.

I have a check box in a table that when I check it I want it to automatically enter the current date. I also don't want to change the dates that have already been entered manually and that date should only display the date on which the check box was checked. :confused:

It is a database that hold the details of IT equipment and when it is disposed.

I think I may have to use a form but I would like someone to confirm this if it is possible to do in the table could someone also help me implement it.

Thanks in advance

Forms :: Easy Way To Use Enter Key To Automatically Run A Macro?

Aug 21, 2014

know an easy way to use the enter key to automatically run a macro?

I have a login form which works fine. However, at the moment the user needs to type in username and password and then manually click on a 'log in' button. What I would like to happen is that if the user presses enter on the keyboard it will run the same macro as the log in button but without have to click on it?

Forms :: Form Auto-populates Date Field - Want To Add Check Box To Enter Alternate DATE

Nov 1, 2013

We use access to enter our service tickets in at work.What we have are three date fields.

Call Date
Start Date
End Date

We are 24/7 operation.Currently all 3 just autopopulate with the current date.What i would like to do is ADD a CHECKBOX next to each Date Field.And make it work like this.

1. let them autopopulate as they are currently
2. if you end the call AFTER MIDNIGHT (the next day). CHECKING the box would automatically populate yesterdays date in each of the fields that has the check box CHECKED

Enter A Date, Add Days From Drop Down, Autofill Another Date Box

Mar 1, 2006

I have a form where the user enters a date into a field (box 1). Next they select a time frame in days from a drop down (box 2). What I want is for Access to take the date entered from box 1 add the number of days selected from box 2 and place the new (later) date into box 3. From there I can run simple queries. It's for a small data base to track the recall of pacemaker patients.

I enter their appointmet (today) date 1st box and then select whether they should return in 30, 90, or 180 days for a follow up 2nd box. When I choose the interval I want a 3rd box to automatically show their next appointment due date.

I am obviously not an Access expert and I think this should be simple. But 3 cups of coffee and 2 handfuls of my own hair have taken me further from a solution. THANK YOU for looking!!

Enter Query Date Range On The Fly

Aug 1, 2005

Below is the expression I have in a query. I have a Combo Box on a form that will show all my query's so the one need at the time can be selected. My question is: is there anyway when I select this query to run from the Combo Box on the form that I can input the date range on the fly? The date range will change periodically and I would like to somehow input the date range when running the query from the Combo Box.

FORMS: DCount("[Date_of_Change]","all_trucks_table","[FORM #]=True AND [Date_of_Change] Between #06/30/05# and #07/31/05#")

Thanks for all help!
