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
I think my question is fairly simple - fingers crossed.
I want to create a field that, whenever a record is added, it auto-adds the date & time the record was created. I'd call it Book_Date_Added, or something like that. I tried snooping around the Default Value options but couldn't figure it out.
The table exists and it already has some records, so I'd need to know how to add this field rather than how to create it when I create a table (although that would be helpful too, if it's somehow different).
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.
I need to know how to auto enter the date of the previous record into a new record. I have this db for my vehicle log sheets and I submit monthly a claim for the business km from my company. I usually cant remember the date of the previous claim and have to scroll back until I find the field with a date. It will be useful if the date was copied into every new record until I edit the date when I submit the claim. What I ask is during the new month all the dates will be the same until I submit the claim. I do not know how to do this, and yes I have done a search.
Looking to create two command buttons or two keystrokes sets in an Access 2007 form that will allow me to place a current date and time in any allowable field where the Cursor is presently placed. Similar to what was in Access 2000, ctl: (for the current date) and ctl shift : (for the current time).
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.
What is the best way to get a field to automatically populate on a form when the user select criteria from 2 combo boxes. For example in cbo1 the user select Eastern and cbo2 the user selects Regional President. How can I get in a seperate field the name of the Eastern Regional President to populate?
Is it possible to automatically update a date field in a form record without ever clicking in to that date field, but only because you have altered something else on that individual form record or an embedded, linked subform record? eg1. Staff details record - a) create a record for Bob Smith and 'Last Updated' field automatically inserts date b) amend record to say 'Robert Smith' and 'Last Updated' field changes to show new date, even though you never touched that date field. eg2. Risk register - main form record contains name, details, and 'Last Updated'; embedded subform allows you to add individual records of actions taken for each risk. I want the 'Last Updated' field to update each time I add an action, without amending the 'parent' risk record.
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'm currently building my first database for a research project. When we enroll a participant, we need to have an enrollment date/time as well as an activation date/time (and they are not allowed to be the same because, rules). I was able to figure out how to auto-populate the current date/time when we've marked a person as enrolled. What I'm wondering is if it is also possible to auto-populate another field with the date/time, ten minutes in the future?
I have created a basic Volunteer Events and Hours Volunteered tracking database.
I created a form Volunteer Hours to allow an end user to use that form to record the volunteer and hours volunteered on a specific Event. There are two tables needed in the form Volunteer Hours to be used for the end users to record the Event, Volunteer, Date and Hours. The form has drill down fields from two tables:
I want to be able to select the Volunteer Event and have the event date automatically populate in the Volunteer Hours form date field when the Event is selected to eliminate the end user from having to enter the date in.
Also; I would like to be able to add more than one volunteer at a time to an event on the form, this would also decrease the data entry time.
When I enter a combo box on a form, whatever I choose from the combo box, it populates everything. If I go to a different row to change it, it changes them all. How do I get that to stop? And why does it do that?
I have a database to track temporary decertification's. I have the expiration and max dates calculated out from the original dates at the top of each box. The temp expiration date is calculated by adding 267 days from the first date . When we enter an extension, the new expiration date is 30 days from the extension date. My question is, how can I make the expiration date update when a new extension is put in.
For ex.
Temp Decert Date: 05 Dec 2014 Temp Decert Extens 1: Temp Decert Extens 2: Temp Decert Extens 3: Temp Experation Date: 31 Aug 2015 Max Temp Date: 04 Dec 2015 how can I make the expiration date update to go 30 days from what is in the extens field 1, 2, and 3 (respectively) instead of 267 days from the original date? So I want it to look like this after updating a field Temp Decert Date: 05 Dec 2014 Temp Decert Extens 1: 30 Aug 2015 Temp Decert Extens 2: Temp Decert Extens 3: Temp Experation Date: 29 Sep 2015 Max Temp Date: 04 Dec 2015
I'm creating a form that when the user selects the following categories in the same combo box (Date Received, Date Reviewed, Date kitted, In Work, Complete) it auto populates dates in the respective fields. As I mentioned, it's only one combo box. The dates will be spread out, so the user will change the combo box selection based on when these events occur. I already have a field for each category both on the table and form. Also, I do have multiple tables for other parts of data, but these categories all fall into the same table.
I am making a Car Rental database on Access 2010, and I have a list of the dates available to rent a car in a table. I want to be able to check what dates are available and select a date for hire in a form.
I have a date/time field on a form. I have a calculation that adds number of days to Date() and enters the answer in the field. Example:Date()+30. If the answer comes on a week end, can I get the date entered to be the next occuring week day? Thanks
At work I can enter +15 in a date field and it automatically sets the date 15 days after todays date. Our companies computer is operating on a ERP system. I would like to do that in an Access database I'm designing for a friend. Any hints.
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!!
I want to force the users to plan their work at least one day in advance. I need to know how to enter a plan date that is one day in advance. If you do planning today you can only enter a date from tomorrow onwards. Access must not allow you to enter a date earlier than tomorrow.
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 am an extreme newbie to Microsoft Access and I've created a basic form for entering data about employees for a future review process. I have a Date field which I would like Todays Date (the date the form is filled out) to appear, however I cannot get it to work. I am not sure where to put Date( ) or todays date in order for it to automatically appear when a new record is started.
Thank you to anyone who can help me out with this...
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,
Working in MS Access 2010. Data must be entered and updated in Access only. Trying to figure out if it's even possible to auto populate dates in multiple fields in a form that are triggered when I enter ANY date in a primary date field on the form. I have close to half a dozen fields I'd like to do this for but here are a couple of the fields I'm working with:
Re Insp Date 90 Day Notice(Form field to be triggered and show a date 90 days prior to the trigger date) Re Insp Date 60 Day Notice (Form field to be triggered and show a date 60 days prior to the trigger date) Re Insp Date (Trigger date)
What I'd like to do is enter values in the "Re Insp Date" field (in the form) and have it trigger/auto-fill/auto-populate the "Re Insp Date 90 Day Notice" so that it shows the date 90 days prior to the "Re Insp Date" and the "Re Insp Date 60 Day Notice" so that it shows the date 60 days prior to the "Re Insp Date"........all this, and have it auto-update the queries and tables its linked to.
I've tried looking online and in instructional material to see if there is a formula, equation, macro, an expression or VBA coding that I can use to execute this but am having no luck.
The MAIN OBJECTIVE is to have the the linked query and table update automatically. Possible??
I have tried doing =([Re Insp Date])-90 but no dice...
