I have set up a customer database for our small electronics company and i have built a form called contact history. In the form i show a few details about the customer (name phone number etc) but the bulk of the form is a large text box for a contact log.I would like to have a button on the form that takes me to the contact log field, inserts todays date and allows me to update whats been said to the customer etc. I have it working using setfocus and date functions however it erases any information already in the field. Is there a way to skip to the end of the field and insert a new line, then add the date and allow me to begin typing?I would like the end result to look like the following.

into like this
ID name sample date 1. John A 2/2/2014 2. Michel B 2/2/2014 3. Jack C 2/2/2014
I try this this sql. but the date only insert/update for avery row i was select.
Q: How i can make sure i put one date.. it will insert for every row just one click.
Private Sub EnterDate_Click() CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE Customer " & _ "SET Date='" & Me.insertdate & "'" & _ "WHERE ID= " & Me.Costumersub.Form.Recordset.Fields("ID") End Sub
I have a database that has textfields / forms, what I would like to do is to add an option that when the textfield is clicked a calendar will appear and when the user selects the date in the calendar interface, it will insert the date for them.
I have a combo box Customer_Name on Order Form; and I want it open the Customer Form when an user insert a new customer to input all data. This seems simple at first, but problems are these:
1- whenever an user opens Customer Form on a new customer, the user would have to make the input once again (at least retype the customer's name on the field).
2- since the Customer_Name and other fields are required in the table, the Order_form would not allow the user to close it unless all field are filled properly.
Dilemma is you have to fill in the Customer_Name field before the table refresh all records and display it in the combo box on Order Form
i have a table of calls, with a field called "link to file".
i have a form where staff fill in their calls and when they have completed the call there is an option to insert a hyperlink to where the file is stored.
i previosuly had an attachemnt there but the database would just grow and grow so now its prefered there is a link to where the files are kept.
i just dont know how to set it up, i have tried adding in a text field and setting it to hyperlink which does work but on the form the user has to right click the button and edit hyperlink to place it in - is there an easier way of just clicking the button and it brings up a folder location where you select the file and it saves it as a hyperlink into the table under linked to file?
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

Sub CreateSystemCatalogTables(metadb As Database) metadb.Execute "CREATE TABLE SysTables( " & _ "tablename Char(30) NOT NULL, " & _ "PRIMARY KEY (tablename));"
Hi, I am inserting records into a table where one of the fields I want to insert is a date value from a form. When I run the query without inserting it it works fine. When I change the value into some other type (a string) it also works fine. I have tried it with a date 05/05/05 so it has nothing to do with the sequence. The destination field as well as the form has identical data types. The keys are OK as the record is inserted. Only the date is missing. The error message displayed states:
Microsoft access set 6 fields to NULL due to a type conversion failure ...
I guess I am using the 'dateInvoiceSent' wrong or without the required format command. Any help is most appreciated.
INSERT INTO clientInvoice (InvoiceNo,clientName,dateInvoiceSent) SELECT DISTINCT jobInvoice.InvoiceNo, job.ClientName, [Forms]![CreateInvoices].[InvoiceDate] AS dateInvoiceSent FROM job INNER JOIN jobInvoice ON job.JobRef = jobInvoice.JobRef WHERE (((job.JobRef)=[jobinvoice].[jobref]));

I have a form that has a date field. I have a button next to that field that opens another form that I've placed a calendar on. Is there a way to click on a date in the calendar and have it automatically insert the date into the date field on the previous form?
Im trying to get a text box on a form to always automatically insert the current date. This seems like it would be so easy to me but apparently im stooopid.
Thanks to anyone that can help.
( I already have the field in the table, and its in the query)

I have an insert into statement this involves inserting values into date/time fields. I understand the a '#' has to come before and after the value, and when all values are populated this works great.
Code: INSERT INTO TableName VALUES (#1/1/2013#,#1/2/2013#)
However, what about in the case of Nulls? The resulting statement then looks like the following. This results in the statement trying to put a '##' in the table and it doesn't like it.
Code: INSERT INTO TableName VALUES (#1/1/2013#,##)
I am trying to input records into a local Access table, not a SQL table.
I have an application that has a text box on a form that points to a memo data type.
On the form, I wish to allow the users to insert the system date with a short-cut key. (Trying to use Ctrl-D).
I have coded a Keypress Event that checks for the Ctrl-D. "Current" code is below: =============================== Private Sub PM_Comments_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer) Dim MyString As String Dim MyDate As Variant
'Check to see if user pressed Ctrl-D If KeyAscii = 4 Then
MyDate = Date MyString = Format(MyDate, "Short Date") & ":" SendKeys ("") ' Perhaps I need to dump the Ctrl-D in the buffer??? SendKeys (MyString)
End If
End Sub ================================== I say current because I have tried MANY variations. The code is executing properly on the Ctrl-D. I have watched the variables in debug mode and they contain what I want, namely "mm/dd/yy:" for the current date. Problem is, it inserts the TIME in the memo field. And it is the system time, not the integer of the date formatted into the time.
Crazy thing is, in debug mode, the darn thing will do what I want and insert the date in the VB editor page. Just won't do it in the memo field on the form.
We have a memo field that we use for on going notes. Each day they may type more notes. Is there a shortcut key, a button, or a way to automatically enter the date and time before the notes?
I have a form with two text boxes in which I would like to insert the current date automatically when the text box has got focus. Default value doesn't work because the current date may occur on two different days, and the default has to be null until the current date is inserted.
Can someone walk me through the process? Thank you.
I have a text field called Notes - where we will add notes about the particular job. What I want to do is have it a locked field with a button 'Add Notes'. When clicked it will insert the date and the user name of the person and then let them type the notes. When they move to the next record - I want that field to be locked again.
I've got some of it down but still not right. I can get it so it inserts the date but it overwrites what is already there. How can I get it to just add the data - not overwrite? And I can't get it to lock when they move to the next record.
I'm trying to search through a table with serial card IDs, Order Numbers, and Ship Dates. I'm search through the Serial Card ID column and making my code work so that if the serial card ID exists and its ship date is between 9/30/2001 and 10/1/2011, then retrieve the associated order number and put in array. All of this works perfectly except for one tiny part : it's not returning a null for either unfound serial Card ID or serial card Ids that exist but their ship dates do not qualify. I would like to return a null value for these fields into the array as well as keep the found values in the array. The whole point of all of this is so I could count the number of rows for all the found order numbers and return a total value with that number.
On a form I have a textbox with a data type of Date/Time. If the user has the cursor in that text box and types the letter "t", I want to automatically insert today's date. I also want them to have the option of manually typing in a date, i.e. 05/12/2001 or use the Date Picker "calendar" item. This is using Access 2010.
I have a form for creating projects in a database. I originally set this up with 5 buttons for when the project is due to be at 1 hr, 2 hrs, etc. Now, they "management" want me change two of these for end of shift of on the current day and start of shift for the next day. This is the code I had before for the 6 hrs:
Private Sub Command152_Click() Me.DueTime = RoundTime(Now() + 6 / 24, 1800) End Sub
Hi. I have two forms that both look at the same table. One form is for inputting data and the second for is for closing the job. I want to create a button that when clicked automatically changes a field on the input form and also fills in the current date on a field displayed on the closeout form. I then want it exit my two forms and take me back to my switchboard. Can anyone out there help?..Thanks.
