How do I set up a field so that when the record has been modified, the field is automatically filled in (or replaced) with a date? In other words if I open up my member's detail form, and go to Sally Smith and edit her information on 11 July 15, that date is saved into a field called last modified and then updated every time I go into her file and edit & save it.
View RepliesI have a subform that is filtered by a textbox on the main form. Is there any way I can add a timestamp to a record on the subform when a user changes anything on that record?
I've tried the Macro that is listed on Microsoft's website regarding timestamps, but I had serious issues implementing that to a subform.
Hi,
I want to know if is there a way to view log in access for existing records and find out the date on which particular record was modified.
I know that I can add this facility for new records henceforth but I want the date modified information for old records.
Please let me know,
I have a table in my Access 2010 Database with few date/time fields. I have set different formats like Short Time, Medium Time etc. But when I link this table to Sharepoint list, all the date/time fields have been modified to their default format (General Date).
Is there a way we can keep the formats as such even after linked to Sharepoint list? If not, is there a workaround?
So I went searching through the forums and found a thread that provided coding for getting the # of years and months from two dates:
Function fAgeYM(StartDate As Date, EndDate As Date) As String
'Purpose: Returns the difference between StartDate and Date in full years and months
'To call:
' ? fAgeYM(#1/21/04#, #1/19/06#)
'Returns:
' 1 years 11 months
Dim intHold As Integer
intHold = Int(DateDiff("m", StartDate, EndDate)) + _
(EndDate < DateSerial(Year(EndDate), Month(EndDate), Day(StartDate)))
fAgeYM = Int(intHold / 12) & " years " & intHold Mod 12 & " months "
End Function

That's perfect for what I'm wanting but I'm doing it with Hire/Term dates. So I want to be able to see how long past and present employees have worked in the company. Obviously that makes the Term field Null at times. With the coding above it requires a date to be in the EndDate field. How can I change it to allow for a null field in which the field would essentially be the current day's date? [Now()]
I have a table where I use 3 date fields in, all with different views.
Field 1: Date as dd/mm/yyyy
Field 2: Quarter: q (shows the same date, but then as quarter of the year.
Field 3: Year: YYYY
Now I have a form that fills all of my fields, but is there a simple way () to populate the other two fields Quarter and Year from the value I entered in Date?
So if I change Field "Date", Fields "Quarter" and "Year" updates as well.
Maybe I don't need to do it in the form, but in the table?
I'm not that good with VB- scripts, and I'm not sure If it is possible to auto populate the table field Quarter and Year directly in the table itself.
I've imported some historic user data from some spreadsheets and I have a field which is a unique PIN code for each user. This is set as the primary key on my new table. Duplicates are not allowed. It's a text field with values ranging from 0005 through to 9576. The maximum allowed range of values will be from 0001 to 9999. There are currently only 300 records in the table so as you can see, there are lots of PINs available for use.
I'm building a form to allow a new user record to be created and want to automatically allocate the next available PIN. So if I was entering a new record now, the PIN to be allocated would be 0001.
how I can create an event for creating a new record that looks up the next available free PIN.
I need to able to quickly find which the last records that have been modified. I have an invisible field "txtModified" on the main form and selecting when changes where made to the record on the main form is easy using a qry on that field. The problem I face is that the form with all details of a particular item contains 2 subforms. Changes to data on each of these subforms doesn't effect the time/date on the main form. However, each of the subforms is also time stamped upon change.The qry to select the last records changed therefore needs to look at 3 fields and select records with the latest date in any of the 3 "Modified" fields. How do I do that? I suppose I'll have to put an expression in the qry?Thanks for your advice.Walter

Does anybody know if I can link a text box on a form so that it reads the last modified date of a text or excel file on my hard drive ?
I have a form with 4 subforms on it and I am trying to find a way to capture the last modified date for the record regardless of what form or subform they touched
Is this possible?
Right now I have a macro on before update of Now() on the form and all of the subforms but that is only showing when that form was last modified which is not exactly what I am trying to achieve.
In my access database I am using a form and at times a record may need to be updated multiple times. Is there a way to track and count how many times a record has been modified? I already track the last modified date and time.I searched and was not able to locate what I am trying to do, and maybe my search term was not exactly correct.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a split database with a frontend that I semi-regularly update (when one of my users finds a bug I never would have thought for looking for). On my menu screen i have a text box that says: "Last Updated: ##/##/####".
At the moment I manually update the date every time I update the frontend.
Is there a way I can use the DateModifed property of the .mdb file for the frontend as the date in my textbox using VBA?
Vbscript/vb macro code for retrieving the last modified date of a file uploaded in a URL.
I am able to get the file but wanted to get the last modified date of it.
I want to insert a text box in the report design that show the last date in which the data was modified ...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI created a "BeforeUpdate" property on my form, which is meant to insert the date into the field DateModified when the record is modified. The code says:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me!DateModified = Now()
End Sub
When I am running the form and modify a record then go to find a different record through an unbound text box which I use to locate records , it comes up with "run-time error '3020: Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit."
Any ideas?
I used a macro to record the date and time the current record was modified and show that information on a form - the information on how I did that is here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/a...0345351033.aspx
That works wonderfully, however I would like to add to this the user that modified the record.
Is there a macro code for this??
I tried setting the Item to read [UserModified] and the Expression to be User() however that did not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanks.
How I can create a sequential number in a field that looks like this:
Year-XXX-00
(Example: 15-100-00 -- the next sequential number would be 15-101-00)
I don't want to hard code the year, and the last 2 numbers must be entered manually.
It gets even more exciting --> this number has to be able to be duplicated in a table. Those last 2 numbers is a revision number. We might have a 15-100-00, 15-100-01, 15-100-02, etc.
I am creating a database tracking physicians and their contracts. I currently have two tables: PhysicianT and ContractsT, with corresponding forms to enter information in them. I have an issue with the Contracts form; I want to be able to select a physician from a dropdown list (looked up from PhysicianT) and have Access autofill their Physician ID #.
PhysiciansT looks like this:
physicianID (AutoNum) name (Calculated)
1 Barker, Bob
2 Burgundy, Ron
3 Stark, Tony
Upon selecting Barker, Bob from my dropdown list, I want "1" to appear in the Physician ID # field in my Contracts form.
Hello!
What I am trying to do is fill a field with a date until a new date is encountered. Basically, I have imported some csv data which only has the date when it changes. I have created a new field and have a row with only the date in it. Is there a way to fill the rows below the date row with that date until the next date row is found and then continue on with the next date and so on. Here's what the database looks like, basically:
Date Field1 Field2 Field3
01/01/01 null null null
null DATA DATA DATA
null DATA DATA DATA
null DATA DATA DATA
null DATA DATA DATA
01/02/01 null null null
Hopefully this makes sense and someone can give me a hand with this! Thanks so much!!
I have a query that selects records in a certain date range. Then I have a textbox that gets an input of the earliest date of that range... I used the code...
=DMin("<field name>","<query name>")
What I want to do is fill in other textboxes next to that one with the other fields' data for that corresponding record. So for example, the query runs and outputs the data and part number 2123 was ordered 10/2/2012, which happens to be the earliest in that particular date range. So the one textbook does work and outputs "10/2/2012"...Now I want another textbox right beside it to output "2123".
This is probably very simple to do, but, I am most likely missing the obvious...
I have 3 fields,
UnitPrice,
NumberPerUnit, and
NumberPerUnitCost.
I would like to have the NumberPerUnitCost field filled automatically based on what I have entered into the other 2 fields. I would also like to have this saved in my table as I will use this single unit cost when calculating some production costs.
Any and all help would be appreciated. If I am going about this the wrong way, please redirect me.
Thanks, Karen
I am building an Access database for a client. It is an employee staffing database. With that being said they would like the ability to automatically populate the "T2PPCD" date field based on what is entered into the "Report Date" field. (Same table)
The date is the Monday after 180 days from the report date.
I already know how to get it to auto fill 180 days from the "Report Date" but I'm not sure how to tell it to give me the Monday after 180 days.

This is simple Access but I am quite simple so help would be cool
all I want to know is how to put text from one field into another, but not every time.
lets explain
I have an order form and two fields , one date booked , and one date requested.
if date booked is empty I want to copy the info from date requested to it, if its full I want Access to say its already booked.
its porbably something along the lines of where datebooked.txt = "nothing" then datebooked.txt = date requested.txt or something like that anyway

thanks!
hi all...
i am the biggest of all newbies when it comes to access and understand only the graphical parts of the process (no SQL knowledge etc.).
how would i go about auto filling a certain field based on what's in another field? for example, i have a field called TimeZone that i want filled with either West, East, Central, or Mountain based on another field for State. can i build a query to automatically take care of any empty fields for TimeZone that haven't already been filled out by me manually?
if i need to use SQL, that's fine too as long as the directions are clear and precise as i have no prior knowledge.
thanks a bunch.
