Forms :: Code For Date Picker Use AND User Date Entry
Mar 26, 2015
I have a textbox on my form that is for "week of", always a Monday. There is vba to populate the appropriate Monday when the user selects something other than Monday via the date picker. This code is in the on change event. However, this is not friendly to a user entering a date in this field. I did try after update event, but that requires user to leave the "week of" field. This is not acceptable in this instance, there are other form fields that change as a result of this "week of" value.I also tried evaluating the length of the text or else exiting the code. However, I was expecting the date being returned from the date picker to always be 10 positions, but for March 3rd, it would return 3/3/2015...which is only 8 positions.
I am using Access 2007 and I have had a curious issue arise.
I like to use the Date Picker feature on all my forms to make it easier to enter dates. I have set up each table's date field property to "show date picker for dates", as per attached (.jpg)
When I use that particular field in a form, I also set up the field to allow for the Date Picker option (date picker form property sheet.jpg)
The curious part is that not every form that I set up actually shows the date picker when I select the date field. Some forms it works perfectly, others it doesn't.
I create a database through ms access and there have a birth date box and admission date. Another box for Age.I want to see the age in month or year figure in to the age box when I go next field. Which will be calculate from admission date to birth date.
I have a form (Access 2007) that requires user to enter a date.
Using the standard date field (short date format) with the date picker works fine however some users prefer to enter the date via the keyboard (some prefer the date picker).
If I set an input mask (to facilitate keyboard entry) for the text box then the date picker disappears.
Is there any way to apply the date picker and the input mask to the control to accommodate all users?
The query is there to query data, not to edit data or manipulate data in anyway. However, I am disgusted by the appearance of the date picker when I pick a field that is a date field.
Is there a way to hide/remove these date pickers from the query sheet?
Within the table itself I turned the "Show date picker" property to "Never" but that didn't make a difference.
disable the data picker for every field on every form in my application - without doing it the long winded way of manually turning it off for every field?
I have an application created in A2003, but my client's machines nearly all use A2010 runtime. How I can disable the Date Picker completely on all forms as I have no need for it. Obviously I can't access the 2010 property sheets to disable it that way.
On my main form, I have a subform to input multiple dates, using date picker.
I also have a text box on the main form to input single dates, again using Date Picker.
On entering both the single date text box and the subform, I don't want the (default) date to be visible. I only want the date to be visible once I have selected a date from the Date Picker.
I have figured out how to do this with the single date text box. I have simply defaulted the forecolor to be white so that you can't see the font against the white backcolor. Then on the Change Event, I set the forecolor to be black. Works like a charm.
However... This same approach will not work with the subform. I've tried playing around with a bunch of different events, but so far nothing allows me to re-create what I am able to do with the single date text box on the main form.
Using access 2010; i have a form that includes a date field. Is there a way to force the user to only choose a month end date? When the user clicks the date from the popup, they may use 9/1/2013 when the mgr. want them to use only 8/31/2013. I am thinking validation field to put a msg but want to be able to force it not the option.
I've been trying to get a datepicker working in Access, unfortunately Access doesn't really seem to support it very well. I suppose I could make my own if I had to.
I miss VB.NET. VB.NET had built in date functions that allowed you to do a lot of things with dates. VB 6.0 has hardly any such functionality.
What I'd like to do though, is to be able to figure out which day of the week any given date is on. I don't want to write code like that myself, it feels like it would be too much work. Does anyone know of any code that would help out with a solution like this?
I want to let the user to select the date and time by showing a control/screen fot this. I used the MS access control: Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0. however, this doesnt show the date properly. Is there any Fully Free software that I can use to show a screen to allow the user to pick the date and time?
It would be nice to have a date picker, to reduce input errors.
I'm trying to get a combo box datepicker to work from a popup form. I've looked at fontstuff's version (http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut13a.htm), but it has the date on the main form (as do the examples I've found using search).
I have to run two queries to get the data I need, and the best way is to have them called at the same time from a macro - hence the popup form. If I use a text box txt_Date formatted as a date box forms![GetDate]![txt_Date] works fine. How do I get the variabe txt_Date to accept the results of the three combo boxes as a single date value?
Here is what i need help with i have the basic lay out but i just need someone to help me figure out the rest of this. Attached is a sample database with what i am trying to do. if someone would be so kind to help me figure this out that would be great.
in access xp, there was a handy active x DTP. it doesn't seem to be available in access 2003. is calendar control 11 there only option here?? it really isn't as convenient as the DTP. maybe there's a way I can make the calendar control operate in a similar way to the DTP?? or maybe there is a DTP but its called another name in the active x list.
I am using the Date Time Picker in MS Access. When I transfer my database to another computer the control shows as a blank white box. I have already done regsvr32 to register the relevant ocx and ticked the Microsoft Windows Common Controls -2 6.0 (SP6) in the reference box. Is there any other way to repair this control without having to reinstall the whole thing.
Is it possible to change the format of a date picker, for instance once i have selected a date, its is visible as 09/11/2006, can this be edited to just the month and the year 11/2006.
I have a form with a date picker control. I am not able to set the default value of the picker to the current date. For example say If I set the default value to "Today", i.e 11 Oct, Even tomorrow it will retain the same value "11 Oct" and not "12 Oct". Is there any way that I can set the default value to current date?
I solved my last problem by not using the ActiveX date picker. Now the date picker which I am using is really good.
But my new problem is that my date picker has a format of dd/mm/yyyyy. Also the format in my database is the same. But when I try to store to store the date value through the querry, the format stored in the database is mm/dd/yyyy. I dont understand this cos I checked the the date picker passes the correct format. I am totally confused!!! (as always)
Does anyone know how to store the correct format in the database..?? This is my querry strSQL = "INSERT INTO projet (id,code_NOP,client,libelle_projet,id_clarity,tech nologie_projet,em,date_debut,date_fin,site_mandata ire,charge_totale,ca_total_vendu) values('" & txt_id.Value & "','" & txt_code_NOP.Value & "','" & txt_client.Value & "','" & txt_libelle_projet.Value & "','" & txt_id_clarity.Value & "','" & txt_technologie_projet.Value & "','" & txt_em.Value & "',#" & Format(txt_date_debut.Value, "dd/mm/yyyy") & "#,#" & Format(txt_date_fin.Value, "dd/mm/yyyy") & "#,'" & txt_site_mandataire.Value & "'," & txt_charge_totale.Value & "," & txt_ca_total_vendu.Value & ");"
I am operating in MS Access 2007 and unfortunately have to stick with the "out of the box" controls. I have data entries of notes in my database for "most workdays" - but not holidays or weekends. I want to allow the user to be able to edit notes for "most workdays" - but not let them pick a day to edit that doesn't have notes - by selecting them from a calendar date picker. Essentially, I want to gray-out/lock the non-workdays from editing.Is there a smart enough Active X or other control as a Date Picker that uses the results of a query to show valid/invalid dates?
