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.
In a form (bounded to this table) I have, of course, 2 controls bounded to this fields:
txtD1 and txtD2
If the user change the value in txtD1 (using the Date picker) I like to change the DefaultValue for txtD1 to the new date and the DefaultValue for txtD2 to the new date + 1 day. Something like this:
Code: Private Sub txtD1_AfterUpdate() Me.txtD1.DefaultValue = Me.txtD1 Me.txtD2.DefaultValue = Me.txtD1 + 1 day End Sub
I tried whatever crossed my mind... with the same "result" : #Name?
My Regional settings:
Short date format: dd.MM.yyyy Date separator: Dot Simple: 05.12.2013
All, 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 have a button in a form that brings the user to a table to add a new record. I want the feild of "dates" to be automaticlly populated with a value that is 7 days after the previous date in the field. the code i have currently is
Code: Private Sub Command14_Click() DoCmd.OpenTable "Cincinnati Time Sheet", acViewNormal DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec End Sub
I want to be able to set text boxes so that if one enters a date and a time it displays in the format "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm", but if one just enters a date is displays in the format "dd/mm/yyyy". Is this possible?
Stipulating "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" means that when you just enter a date it adds "0" values for the time e.g. entering "21/6/13" gives "21/06/2013 00:00".
General Date allows for an optional time, but it means that when you do enter a time it gives you seconds as well "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" - and I don't want that.
I have a date/time text field on a form with the General Date format and a combo box next to it that has sequencial times as the row source (IE. 12:45 AM, 1:00 AM, 1:15 AM, 1:30 AM, ETC.) When the user chooses a time in the combo box, I want the time portion of the text box to be updated with the chosen time in the combo. I have tried a few things but cant seem to get it right.
I have a membership database. A number of members go by their middle names or a nickname rather than their first name. I need to keep track of their real full names, but I want the new-record default of the preferred name field to equal the contents of the first name field. How do I set this in the table design? The table already has 1400 records, and it would be quite a job to manually copy each first name to the preferred name field, a job I would rather avoid.
I have a form with a number of text, date and combo boxes. We quite often add items that are very similar, so it would be useful if the values you've just entered were kept the same for the next item. Then you can just change the odd field that's different. Is there a way to achieve this?
I have a form for new customers. One of the fields is the product they have chosen ("new model", "old model", etc.) in a drop down Combo box. I want default pricing to appear in the form based on the what user selects for the product. But, I am getting nothing shown in the price box after choosing the product.
I've tried two approaches but with no luck. What am I doing wrong? This is in the default property for "price"
I have several forms that our machine operators have to enter data into several times during their shifts. The question/suggestion was brought up as far as having the date automatically fill in based on the time they enter on their screens. However, the tricky part is we use date based on shift. Our shifts are from 6:45am-6:45am the next day, so if they enter a time between those times, the date would be today, otherwise, the date would be tomorrow. Any suggestions?????

I have a drop-down list that when a person's first name is selected then it will fill in the person's middle and last name. Is it possible to use a name that is frequently used as the default so that it is always filled in on the form? More specifically, how will it work so that the other fields (middle name and last name) will also be filled in with the default first name? Or is this not possible to do?
I have a blank form that is usually entered from scratch, so all the fields are empty.
We do fill out the form with standard data occasionally, so I'd like to be able to assign a button or use a combo box to automatically fill those fields with predetermined data.
Two questions:
1) Can I use a 'on click' for a button to populate the data using this:
What is the proper way to store in a field if I want to store current date AND time as a timestamp. I chose Date/Time as the data type and General Date in the Format. Now I wanted a timestamp whenever a new row is added so I placed =Date() in the default value but it only shows me the date, not the time?
Second question if you know Java: I retrieve this date in a java.sql.date and .toString() shows me the correct result in the default format but when i use the DateFormat.format() method on it, i get a Null Pointer Exception. What could be the problem?
What's the best way to trap the error I get when I don't input the time correctly in a date/time control?? I have a the following as an input mask: 99:00 >LL;0;_...02:30 PM
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?
What I want to place on the form is a visual timeline which calculates the time between the first and last event and places all events accordingly along the line, spaced out, ideally with an arrow/marker that moves along the line as time progresses, highlighting any events that haven't been marked as complete. Double clicking on the event would allow us to mark it as complete.
I know this is a long shot, but thought it worth seeing if such a thing exists.
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).
