View RepliesAll, using access 2010. How do I display the default value of a date/time field to just the current year instead of using =date() to get the full date.

I managed to get current day minus 1 month using:
= DateAdd("m";-1;Date())
What I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..
i have just started to use access and i know how to insert the current date into a field using date() but i am not sure will this change the date everytime i open the form ? i want to create a form for invoices that shows the date the invoice was created and doesnt change if i re open for editing,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am developing a customers and orders database for a coffee sales company. I have, of course, a tblOrders that contains the fields 'OrderDate' and 'CallBackDate'. The 'CallBackDate', in most cases, should be 14 days from the 'OrderDate' and self-populate as a default value based on the 'OrderDate'. No problem with the concept there.
I originally wrote the following expression as the control source of the 'CallBackDate':[OrderDate]+14
Yes, works beautifully, populates field just as it should. However, if, for some reason, they want the 'CallBackDate' to be more than 14 days, you can't override and type in your own date.
I have also tried making the control source the 'CallBackDate' field and the default value [OrderDate]+14, but then it doesn't default, only leaves the field open for manual entry. I need to be able to somehow do this within Access. Text fields will allow you to override a default value.
I would like to have the date of each new record as the system date IF the field does not already contain a valueThe code below works but changes the fields date even if the field already contains a value
Date ()
===
Tried the following as the Default value, but they do not work
IIF(nz([Date())
nz([Date()])
===
I want to create a form that will update several tables at the same time.A field that is important in each table is "ID" and "DATE" date being the current date the record is being created and ID is the Unique ID of user creating the record.These 2 fields should be incorporated in the different tables without the user having to identify himself every day or to add the date all the time ( I want the system date to be automatically used)

frmUsedOilContract (contains a header and a subform)
subfrmUsedOilContract (contains a few controls) [datasheet view]
- Removed Date
- Voucher Number
- Building Number
I implemented some code so that a temporary default value could be set for the date and the Voucher Number. I also have the default value for 'txtRemovalDate' set at 'Date()'.
PHP Code:
Private Sub txtVoucherNumber_AfterUpdate()  'Set current value to default value. Â
txtVoucherNumber.DefaultValue = txtVoucherNumber.ValueEnd SubÂ
PHP Code:
Private Sub txtRemovalDate_AfterUpdate()  'Set current value to default value. Â
txtRemovalDate.DefaultValue = txtRemovalDate.ValueEnd SubÂ
Also have code so the default value is null when the form is opened.
PHP Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)  'Set Default Value properties to nothing. Â
txtVoucherNumber.DefaultValue = vbNullString  txtRemovalDate.DefaultValue = vbNullStringEnd SubÂ
This all works great until I try to change the date. If I use the default date (today's date), the new record will stay with today's date. If I change it to a different date, the new record displays a time instead.
Short version: I would like to know when that formula was filled out.
Long version: What I need to do is Auto-fill a textbox with the current date and time when I fill-in a combo-box and press enter/tab. Each date needs to be individual, once the date is filled in via event it should not be changed, then the next page of the formula needs to have an individual date...and so forth. In addition it would be nice if the date could not be changed at all, so no one can temper with it, for instance pressing enter again on the combo-box.
Something like this:
Formula page 1:
Name:________ Date:________
Name: Jon_____ Date:________
*press enter*
Name: Jon_____ Date: 08.04.2015; 11:31
*press enter*
Formula page 2:
Name:________ Date:________
Name: Jess_____ Date:________
*press enter*
Name: Jess_____ Date: 12.04.2015; 16:12
*press enter*
Solved all but 1 problem, I just need to find a way to stop the Date field from updating every time I update the Name field after the initial date is filled in.
Our school writes its semesters as F05, W06, S06, J06. The letter stands for the season (fall, winter, spring, summer) and the two numbers are for the year. I have two fields on different tables. The first one uses the semester (F05) to tell us when they joined the club. The second uses only the year (2005) to tell us what year the race occured.
Anyway, what I want to do is set the default value as the current semester or year. I have tried setting the Format to yyyy and Default value to Year() but neither of those makes Access very happy, especially since Year() needs a number between the parenthesises. I don't want to have to change the defaults each semester if I can aviod it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
how can i show the name of the current month, using the default value, I use day(now()) and year(now()).
I tried using month(now()) and monthname(now()) but they don’t seem to be working! any help?
Thanks
Hi,
I'm wondering how to set the default value of a combo box to the Monday of the current week (it's grabbing a date field).
Many thanks in advance.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a table called Neutron2015. I want the current date and time to complete when entries are made in two other fields. So I am looking for this date and time to populate in EXLStart when an entry is made in Processed By, and also the current date and time to appear in EXLEnd when an entry is made in Completed By with the bold word being the field names.
Is this possible, and how difficult is it?
I am extremely new to Access. I have my database up and running ok(ish) and would like to know if in my data entry form, I can have the "Date Entered in Database" box display the current date that does not change from day to day. I know you can use the "Now()" function but won't this just change everyday?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIf I have a field in a table called "AddedBy", is there a way for this to default to the CurrentUser that's logged in to the database when a record is added to the table? I know you can use "Application.CurrentUser" both in the VB code and within SQL queries, but it doesn't seem to work if I put it in the "Default Value" box with the table editor. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database which stores information relating to club members, which I'm in the middle of giving a bit of a facelift and one thing I want to automate is the calculation of the expiry date.
My memberships expire annually at the end of December and the expiry date is set as a default value within the table properties. This has to be manually changed every September (every new member from then pays for 15 months) to the following December.
Is there a formula I can insert in the defaul value field that will return December the current year if todays date is between January and August, and December next year if todays date is between September and December?
I have a report that displays simple date fields. One of the fields is "lease execution". On the report, I want "lease execution" to display differently depending on the date the report was run.
So:
- If the "lease execution" date is more than 120 days away from today, I want it to display as Q YYYY.
- If the "lease execution" date is between 120 and 90 days away from today, I want it to display as MM/YYYY
- If the "lease execution" date is 90 days or less away, I want it to display the normal date MM/DD/YYYY
I was thinking I would need to do DateDiff() to figure out an amount of days that's between Now() and [Lease_Execution]. Then based on that amount make the report show it differently. Pseudocode would be: if DateDiff() = 40, then display [lease_execution] as MM/DD/YYYY
I am building a database to track contract of employees so that I can know which contracts are valid and which are expired.
My table has the following fields:
ID (Primary key)
Employee ID (Foreign key to link to the employee table)
Start_Date
End_Date
Status (Either valid or expired)
Challenge
I want when I enter the end date, the system checks the end date against the current date and fills in the status field with either valid or expired as appropriate. For instance if the contract end date is March 10,2016, the status must be filled in the word valid.
Hello,
I was wondering how to check a date in a table vs current date and
then put a yes/no in a colum if the date in the table is past current date.
In the form I know it should be wrote in the Upon Open Event
But I am unsure of the code.
Thank you for your time,

Hi, I want to make a default value for the date when a record is inserted. I don't want to use Now() or Date(), I want to use one that only displays the month eg: "June" and that is all. Any ideas? Many thanks.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI tried searching everywhere and cant seem to find an answer to this one...
Is it possible to have a default value in a table which would be current month and year + text? Eg. mm/yy "text"
=now() & "text"
is fine but I need to format the date to mm/yy and cant seem to get it right.
eg. 08/06 Lease Payments
Also is there a way to do it for previous month, so if processing today it would give 07/06 Lease Payments?
Thanks in advance!
