Forms :: Setting Popup Reminder On Form Load For Expiry Date
Jul 26, 2015
I have a form (Access 2010) in which i insert contracts; each contract has a start and an expiry date, but instead of dd/mm/yyyy i would like the user to be able to insert just the year, while the day and month are predefined values and they are automatically inserted (i.e. 01/10/yyyy; the year being the only value that changes, and it is manually inserted by the user).
I would like to set a pop up remainder (on form load) x days before the expiry date, but, because too many of them have the same expiry date i am wondering if the reminder can be set on different days, based on another field (i.e. partner location [country]).. i.e. reminder for contracts with Austria to pop up 60 days before expiring, for UK = 67 days and so on.. or even a specific day for each, i.e. for Austria = 01/08/yyyy, for UK 01/09/yyyy).
I have main form call frmemployee and subform call frmlcourse subform the main form hold's employee information e.g. first name addresss the sub form hold's all the training courses that the employee has been on
I have a text box called txtnextcourse due to display when the next course due date is
I'm trying to open a specific set of records when the form is first opened (namely the most recent date that was added). I'm trying something along these lines and am simply unable to get it to work:
Private Sub Form_Load() Dim strQry As String strQry = DMax("TranDte", "Transaction") DoCmd.OpenForm "FrmSalesInp", acNormal, "", "[Transaction]![TranDte]=" & strQry, , acNormal End Sub
I'm working on an access database and I need to connect that database to the reminder function of Outlook.
At first, I set the reminder precisely six months before the due date, everything was okay and the reminder worked. But after some revision required by my supervisor, I need to set the reminder based on month (not exactly on the due date), so the tasks which have due dates in the same month will be wrapped into a single reminder. The reminder also should be appear in every two weeks. Here's the code I've been worked on :
Code: Private Sub Expired_AfterUpdate() Dim outLookApp As Outlook.Application Dim outLookTask As Outlook.TaskItem Set outLookApp = CreateObject("outlook.application") Set outLookTask = outLookApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
[Code]...
I put this code on the AfterUpdate event in the column containing the due date. How should I rearrange the code so it would be able for the reminder to appear based on the month? (just consider that the reminder will be active six months before due date).
hello, newbie needs help!!! I have a globally defined variable (gsUser) which I defined in a module. The idea is that when one of my users creates a record then , I will update a column called "Created by" with the current users value.
The issue is how to get the current user name.
In my main form , in the "beforeinsert" and "beforeupdate" events I have triggered a call to a function in my module (function WhoAreYou)
This function checks the value is gsUser and if blank it then does a DoCmd.OpenForms to my popup form.
The popup form needs to contain a combo box whoses recordsource is pointing at a table of users I have created BUT whose source control is not pointing to a table of any kind.
How can i set up this combo box so that a user can be selected, but the selected user then populates a variable instead of a data column??
I would then user the variable to populate gsUser.
if you could give me an example I would be gratefull
Alternatively if you can think of another way of making the user pick his name from a list of usesr before updating data I would be glad to here it
This is my problem!!! Bit new to Access, so here goes! I am setting up a claibration database for test equipment, what i need to do is to set up the database so that say a week before a calibration date is due, the database will flag this up, say display a reminder!! Can anyone tell me is this possible and the best way to set this up????
Hi I am doing a date expiry query which has worked for one of my other queries i have copied the same criteria for another table but for some reason it does not work now
Below is the SQL i am using
SELECT Computers.[Machine ID], Computers.[Machine Type], Computers.User, Computers.Department, Computers.[Installed Applications], Computers.[Serial Tag], Computers.[OS Installed], Computers.[Pc Brought] FROM Computers WHERE (((Computers.[Pc Brought]) Between DateAdd("d",30,Date()) And DateAdd("d",-30,Date())));
I have 3 records which are within the criteria but for some reason i do not get these.
Any idea why this does not work but works for my other query
I have a form, that when I create a new record it puts a a =Now() time stamp in the Date Field, but I would like for that time to be updated if anything on the record is changed, later on. How do I update that time?
the below script in my query is to automatically increase the date by one year, this works fine but i would like to be able to back date the script if necassary.
i have checked the properties and the field is not locked. but it wont let me change the date.
Hello, im new to this forum, and i need some help fast.

How I would accomplish the following scenario in Access 2010. I have created a data base for a funeral home. One of my tables includes the date of death of the individual (DOD) (i.e. 04/16/2014). From that date I want to trigger a reminder to follow up with a family letter 6 months from that date. Would I do this with a macro or would I do this with VBA Script?
Sorry to open with a question but its usually the way, i'm quite an experienced computer user but never used any office products before and just thought i should learn as i'm losing money every week by not keep track of things properly.
So then to my question..
I've made a table to cover all the orders i have had placed, this includes a date column for when that order was placed. I just wondered if it would be possible to have some kind of system where after 7 days without any acknowledgement from me it either pops up or turns red or something similiar. I'm thinking the acknowledgement could be the yes/no box and i tick that when i recieve the item back, if i dont it either pops up or turns red or something :confused:
i need a method to store an expiry date. i have a column prepared in my table but i do not know how to reach the desired result.
the date will always be different depending on certain criteria
the course length. some courses we have are valid for a month. some for 6 months. some for a year and some for only 14 days.
i can use the date add to add the date period to the purchase date but i do not know where or how to store course length to be able to use it.
i have approached this before and i had a column in my courses table as below
("m",3,Date())
i pland on haveing this type for each course and varying it as applicable but this did not work and apparantley i was breaching the fundamental rules of relational data.
What I am trying to do is create a stock database and iv imported a blank version of the northwind template and filled it in with my own products which is fine up to a point.
What i also have though is i get weekly reports of the stock of each product with their batch numbers, expiry date and quantity remaining for that individual lot sent to me from another company. (So i might have several lines with the same batch number and expiry date but diffeent quantities) So what i want to ask is:
Is there any way for me to combine the data in the weekly reports with the stock level data in the northwind template?
What i want to be able to have is where somehow i can see the total quantity of eac product with the same batch number and expiry date and then it tells me when that batch has expired and it also automatically deducts the stock from my total stock when it gets to within e.g 9 months of the expiry date as we will not likely sell those.
I need to do this as at the moment all i can get from my database is how much stock has been ordered, sold and what we have in total on hand but if the stock is close to expiring then i wouldnt know and i need to be able to see when to order stock in advance as i want a minimum of 6 months cover and ideally 9 months cover as orders for stock dont come in straight away.
Also, how i can import the data from the weekly reports into excel/access easily as they come as word files presented as a table but the data is put in frames i think and iv tried removing them but then it all looks messed up.
I have a query which shows data about certain checks that are carried out employees. One of the fields is Expiry Date of the check. What I want is for the query to show only records that have a expiry date which has expired or is going to expire within the next three months of today's date. But I cannot work out how to do it!
I have a query call courses and field name expiry date I have add additional field within the query to show how many day left and how many days over the expiry date
Code : DayLeft:[expirydate]-now()
but i just get a error when i run the query
I also would like to ask is this possible to be done within the table e.g adding another field dayleft and some how add formula to calculate number days left or over due .
I am very new to access and I would like to pull some information from my tables.
I am using this for training records, I can calculate the expiry date of certificates using a query. What I would like is a report (even better an alarm of some sort) to show when things are due to expire. I can't seem to find this option as a report.Also, is it possible to have reports go into excel?
I have a task completion database. Each record of model consists of an expiry date. I need to review and update the records before the expiry date. Each model may have more than one record as I have updated the models a couple of times. I would like to select all of records with the expiry date less than 30 days so I can plan to review and update them on time. How to select all these records.
I have built a database which has a number of forms with a frm_PartNo subform in.When ever I click a button to load one of these forms I get the following error message: ECN Database v1.31 cannot find the referenced form 'frm_PartNo'. But when the form loads the sub form is there with all the related data !
I'm a newbie using Access 2007.I am trying to make things as easy as possible for the user of a database that I have been working on. The users maximum screen resolution is 1600 x 900 and I want to have specific forms automatically "maximise" to fit the screen.I have set the Form property "Fit to Screen=Yes" but it does not do what I am expecting and want.I also have "Auto Resize=Yes"
I am having a problem filtering a form on load.What I am trying to say is if the role = Agent then filter on todays completed records and records that have a completed date of Null for the particular agent.
Here is the code:
If Me.txtRole = "Agent" Then AgentFilter = "(CASEOWNER ='" & Me.txtName & "')" DateCompletedFilter = "((DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "#)OR (DATECOMPLETED Is Null))" DoCmd.ApplyFilter , AgentFilter & " And " & DateCompletedFilter Exit Sub End If
The filter on the agents works and the filter on the completed date of null apeears to work however when a record is completed it diappears on refreshing of the form even though the record has been completed on todays date.I have investigated the code an the issue appears to be with the DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "# part of the code.
