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.
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.
Hey, basically, i have an invoice form, and on this I need to add InvoiceDate to it. Now, on the form, I have =Date(), but this changes every time i open the form, so it dosnt actually record the date. I have to manually type the date in to the form, which is not very good usibility practice. Can anyone help? Ive tried searchin, but I couldnt fin much relevent stuff. CHeers Alex
I am about to put my head through a wall. Perhaps you can help (not with the head through the wall - I can do that on my own). I have an ASP form that updates an Access database. Everything works except for one line of code. This one line is a concatenation statement that assembles month+day+year and updates a date field in the database. I know Access is particular about its date formatting, but I thought I had it right. Can someone help? This is the line of code:
It should result in my date in #MM/DD/YYYY# format. I have tried all kinds of combinations of formatting and can't come up with the right one. I get the same "Type mismatch" error every time. I would love it if someone could shed some light on this one.
I am trying to figure out to have the current date populate in table field by using a button on a form and not having much luck.
I have a table with 2 date fields, a 'created' field and a 'received' field. I already have the date set to auto populate for the 'created' field but I don't want the 'received' field to populate until the employee has gone into the database to receive the work.
I know I could have the employee just enter the date, but i want to avoid any typos or people simply forgetting to do it.
Ideally I would love the button to enter the current date into the 'received' field and save the entry, but I fine it needs to be 2 seperate buttons.
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?
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?
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:
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 "Client" table which has a "Date of Birth" field and the problem I am having is on in the data entry form the users type in "2/25" instead of "2/25/1965" on for the most part that's OK. But if the client DOB is 1930 or before then 2/25/2029 comes up. I have found that the date format is tied to the Windows Regional settings and we are working on a network that doesn't allow me to adjust the settings. I have tried to put a validation on the table for the field but then that makes it so you HAVE to enter something and can not leave that field blank if you want.
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?
how does a user enter an appointment time without having to type the date and time in full? e.g. if i'm adding appointments for today at 11am and 1pm do i have to type year and minutes/seconds?
I have a form in Access where a report date is to be entered. We only want to show a date format like Dec-13. Month-Year. I set a input mask to keep this consistent when others are entering.
Now it is January and people are trying to enter their reports for December, when they put in Dec-13. It automatically changes to Dec-14. WHY!I tried to go to the table and change the date to the year 13, but it just keeps changing back to 14.
I have developed an Access database which keeps track of items we have received. What I want to do is enter a date in a field and then by clicking a button that date and the name of the item gets enetered into my Outlook calendar so that it will pop up a reminder on that date. I have no idea if/how this can be done. Any ideas or examples very much appreciated.
I have a process that lifts a highlighted date from a List Box and puts it in the Criteria of a query. The process manages to move the numbers from one place to another, but ends up giving me a data mismatch in the query. The process is as follows
Private Sub Command8_Click() 'Set it all up for Panel Meeting selection Dim db As DAO.Database Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String
[Code] ....
The Immediate debug shows...
SELECT * FROM tbl_Panel_Meeting_Dates WHERE tbl_Panel_Meeting_Dates.PanelDates IN ( '1/07/2013' );
I'm pretty sure (althiough always stand to be corrected!) that I need it to come out as
Let's see if I can explain this situation effectively...
I've been handed a database that is set up to track tutoring sessions of students. The original creator designed the database for 1 semester. I am trying to make it functional for x number of semesters. So here's my dilemma: I have several reports that are based on queries. I would like for the user to be able to run the report and it prompt for them to enter a date range, which would then output desired results for that range (I thought this would be more efficient than setting up the db to run reports by semester, so that the user would be able to narrow their results).
So in corresponding queries, I am adding the following criteria to the "Date" field: Between [Enter Beginning Date] And [Enter Ending Date]. The query produces the right results, just not exactly in the way I would like to see them. This is because the query tracks the number of hours per mentor (the person giving the tutoring) and does a sum.
So in my results, it is summing the hours for every change in date occurrence. For example, the results should look like this (on the report):
Student 1 Mentor A xtotal hours
Student 2 Mentor A xtotal hours Mentor B xtotal hours
Instead what I'm getting is a sum of hours for every different date, as follows:
Student 1 Mentor A xtotal hours Mentor A xtotal hours Mentor A xtotal hours
Student 2 Mentor A xtotal hours Mentor A xtotal hours Mentor B xtotal hours Mentor B xtotal hours Mentor B xtotal hours Mentor B xtotal hours
And so on...
Maybe I'm approaching this is the wrong fashion? I haven't had much luck searching google or access help... maybe I'm searching with the wrong strings. :)
I have a simple data entry form on which there are about 30 to 40 data fields to be update by users. One of the field is called "Stage" which is a combo box with 2 entries "Formal Case" and "Informal Case" with no default value whien a form is first opened.
Users will normally create a data entry which updates the table and save.
However if in future users open any one existing record and try to change Stage field from Informal to Formal or vice a versa I would then like this action to
1) update a time stamp concatinated with the stage change value in a text field perhaps
2) save/close the form
3) open a new form with all the existing entries(plus changed status of "Stage Field") with a new record ID and new time stamp.
I apologize if this has probably been asked countless times; however, in my search of this forum I could not find something that seemed to work for something so simple.
I have 2 forms. The first form is my main form and the second form is my "popup" form. Both of these forms access the same table. In my main form I have it so people can not enter in a ID so it reduces accidental data entry. Therefore, I created a "popup" box that allows ID entry.
Everything works great except when I close out of the popup form, the newly entered data is not available unless I close the main form and reopen.
Million Dollar Question:
How do I refresh or requery (dunno the correct term usage here) the main form to reflect the addition I made in my popup form. I would like the refresh event to happen when I click the close button on my popup form.
Purchase Order with main details on (Po Number, Supplier etc) with a sub form carrying the line items to be ordered.
Table PO Form PO Table POSUB Form POSUB
When entering main order details into Form PO, why do the fields in the related table(Table PO) immediately get populated when the the focus gets transfered to the sub-form (Form POSUB). with users quiting the database illegally (not by the cancel records button) the result is unwanted records in the Table PO.
What I want to do is complete the input fields in the main and sub forms without any records being commited to the tables until the "Save Record" button is pressed.
I've been working on a database (attached) for a health trust. I think the relationships are right but I'm having a problem entering data. The subform shows the correct data but I can't figure out how to enter data using a form.
Can someone point me to a tutorial - I have searched the forums - honest!!
