Forms :: Override Default Date Value

Jun 6, 2013

I 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.

Forms :: Make Command Button Override Required Fields Focus?

Sep 18, 2014

I am using code like this to give warning messages and pass on focus to boxes only when things are selected.

Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.TextBox2) Then
MsgBox "TextBox2 cannot be left blank"
Cancel = True
Else
ComboBox1.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

I do this for a series of required fields in order.

However, I also want a command button that is 'Exit without Saving' that should be clickable at any time, but of course when focus is controlled in my required fields sequence, it can't be clicked. How can I separate this button?

Forms :: Setting Temporary Default Value For Date / Time Field

Jul 3, 2013

My setup:

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.
txtVoucherNumber.DefaultValue = txtVoucherNumber.ValueEnd Sub

PHP Code:

Private Sub txtRemovalDate_AfterUpdate()  'Set current value to default value.
txtRemovalDate.DefaultValue = txtRemovalDate.ValueEnd Sub

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.
txtVoucherNumber.DefaultValue = vbNullString  txtRemovalDate.DefaultValue = vbNullStringEnd Sub

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.

Tables :: Calculate Default Date Value Based On Todays Date

Jul 16, 2014

I 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?

Override AutoNumber

Nov 9, 2006

Hi all.

I have inherited a database which contains a table of tasks and where the TaskID is an autonumber. Quite a bit of code has been written that refers to specific values but unfortunately one of those is not contained within the table (for background the reference is 10 and where the current value is now 1683).
So, I want to add TaskID 10 but of course I cant be specific about that value. If I change the field to be just a number, I can add the record but then of course Access won't allow me to change it back to AutoNumber.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Gordon

Override Required Fields

Aug 30, 2007

Well guys, I don't know if this is possible or not, but maybe someone can guide me in the right path.

I have a data entry form that several employees use. I have certain required fields that are set on the form level. I have couple employees that I would like to have the ability to override these fields. I was thinking like using F10 key or other key combinations that will allow them to override the required fields in order to save the record.

Is this something realistic that I can accomplish in access, and if so, does anyone have a sample that can help me with this task? Thanks to all.

Override Event With Function Key

Nov 26, 2005

I am attempting to duplicate a feature of some software I use in my office. Been pretty easy so far because this software is built on Access. So here it is...... I have fields with names, job names in this case. Call it "JobDescription" MOST times I will want proper case, so I put ........Private Sub JobDescription_AfterUpdate()[JobDescription] = StrConv([JobDescription], vbProperCase)End SubThat works fine. But there are times you want to override this code.... The program I am imitating does this by using the "F10" key to move to the next field instead of the tab key. My question is what code to put on the F10 key to skip the "vbProperCase" code??

Override Form Allow Edits With Code??

Oct 20, 2004

Greeting,
I am still struggling with my sub-form.
Have managed to prevent edit by using the form properties.
However I have some fields which have to be updated after the form has been closed.
I tried putting the following code in the (Before Update Event) of date issued field for instance.

If Me![DateIssued]=Null then
Me![DateIssued].Locked=False
end if

Needless to say this didn't help.

I have some fields which cannot be filled in until a later date.
These are job records so I have date open, Technician name date completed plus a whole herd of other stuff which has to be filled in as the job progresses.

Any help will be most appreciated,
Brian.

Modules & VBA :: Ignore / Override Form Ribbon Created For Users

Jan 27, 2014

I have created a ribbon for the users on all forms, and named that ribbon on each form. While I can bypass the Main ribbon (hiding backstage and most other tabs) by holding the shift key on open, the minute I open a form I am stuck with the very limited form ribbon I've named. Is there a programmatic way I can ignore this call, either when holding the shift key or some other avenue?

Date And Text As Default

Aug 9, 2006

I 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!

Date To Default To January 1

Jun 11, 2006

I have a little application that includes information about insurance deductables.

Deductables revert to their maximum on a date set by the insurance company, but that is USUALLY January 1.

So, for the control on the form where a new patient is set up, I have a date field where that "revert" date is to be entered.

Since it's usually January 1, I want a default to appear of January 1, of whatever the current year is. I've been looking through the Access help screens as well as this and other forums and have not found anything to suggest how to go about this.

Not being trained as a programmer, I'm coming here asking for some help.

Can anyone give me the appropriate code to generate the default date I want?

Default Value - Text Or Date? - Yy Or Mm Format

Mar 6, 2005

I am hoping someone can help me, a real novice at Access 2000 - I am trying to construct a couple fields in a table, 1 of which will show a default value equal to a 2-digit year (yy) based on the current date. The second will display a default value equal to a two digit month (mm) based on the current date. Text fields would be ideal, but date field could work if it's the only way. Thank you for helping out a newbie.
