Forms :: Goto Form With Current User And Current Date
Aug 27, 2013
What I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..
I would like to have the form to be set to its current record when being requeried. How can I easily achieve this? I've seen things about recordsets, I'm working with ADP (based on SQL Server) and don't know or all DAO events will help me.
I have written a user defined function that calculates the end of the current month. This I named EndOfThisMonth. It works well as a function. Now I would like to use it as date criteria to include in a query. The function is included as such EndOfThisMonth().
The field on which this function is to enter as a criteria is another calculated date function called Due.
When I run this query I get an error message saying Undefined Function 'EndOfThisMonth' in expression.
I have a combo box that needs to only show approved values for any current data input but also be able to show legacy values (that were approved at one time but are no longer approved).How can I only allow the user to select from current approved values but still be able to pull a legacy record and show the legacy value.
Table structure
tblRepairReason ID (Nnumber) Name (Text) ApprovedValue (Yes/No)
The recordsource of the combo box:
Code:
SELECT tblRepairReason.ID, tblRepairReason.Name, tblRepairReason.ApprovedValue FROM tblRepairReason WHERE (((tblRepairReason.ApprovedValue)=True));
how i can get a current user from a custom login form CurrentUser() this function always return a system user name admin as default. In my login schema i have a Hidden splash form that have a unbound field that holds user name from custom login form after login a dashboard execute and also display user name on dashboard according to user login ,this working fine for mine. Actually i want to make a currentuser stamp in every entry when a record is entered in database.
I want to create a form that will update several tables at the same time.A field that is important in each table is "ID" and "DATE" date being the current date the record is being created and ID is the Unique ID of user creating the record.These 2 fields should be incorporated in the different tables without the user having to identify himself every day or to add the date all the time ( I want the system date to be automatically used)
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,
Short version: I would like to know when that formula was filled out.
Long version: What I need to do is Auto-fill a textbox with the current date and time when I fill-in a combo-box and press enter/tab. Each date needs to be individual, once the date is filled in via event it should not be changed, then the next page of the formula needs to have an individual date...and so forth. In addition it would be nice if the date could not be changed at all, so no one can temper with it, for instance pressing enter again on the combo-box.
Solved all but 1 problem, I just need to find a way to stop the Date field from updating every time I update the Name field after the initial date is filled in.
I am trying to figure out to have the current date populate in table field by using a button on a form and not having much luck.
I have a table with 2 date fields, a 'created' field and a 'received' field. I already have the date set to auto populate for the 'created' field but I don't want the 'received' field to populate until the employee has gone into the database to receive the work.
I know I could have the employee just enter the date, but i want to avoid any typos or people simply forgetting to do it.
Ideally I would love the button to enter the current date into the 'received' field and save the entry, but I fine it needs to be 2 seperate buttons.
I have a problem in my Database system. The title of my Database is Employee Evaluation. This is my problem.. I already make the default value the txtbox a current system date. but for the next day.. the txtbox for all record should become a current system date. but only the for the new record is the current system date. the all records are not current system date... I want from the opening of my system the textbox of all records are should be current system date.
I have a table called Neutron2015. I want the current date and time to complete when entries are made in two other fields. So I am looking for this date and time to populate in EXLStart when an entry is made in Processed By, and also the current date and time to appear in EXLEnd when an entry is made in Completed By with the bold word being the field names.
I am extremely new to Access. I have my database up and running ok(ish) and would like to know if in my data entry form, I can have the "Date Entered in Database" box display the current date that does not change from day to day. I know you can use the "Now()" function but won't this just change everyday?
I have a form, has some fields, one of them is the current date, so when the user click (save )button , which make (add new record )to the only table I have the problem that .all fields are inserted in the table , except the current date !! it is a text box ( Now() )!!
I'm creating a database for a college assignment, and for this database, I need to record the current user ID when a record is created/updated. But I dont know the function (like, Now() returns the current date/time) that gives me the user ID. The help files are awful and I cant find the function I need =(
I need to mine the Proper Name of the current user and automatically populate a field on a form. I've tried default value = currentname() and all I get returned is Admin. How can I retrieve the Proper Name of the network username and auto populate a field? Any help is appreciated.
Hi I have designed a MS Access tool accessed by multiple user. The first screen asks for badge number which is unique for each user. I wanted to do away with that screen. Instead wanted to get the username of the currently logged in user, may be from registry or somewhere. We have Windows XP here. Is there any VBA script for that....Need help!!
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 have a database that users log into before they can do anything, after they log in, when they open up a form, i want the username that was used to log in to be displayed and stored in a field. how would i do that?
Here are the relevant fields and tables Name ---------------------- Description USERS --------------------- contains username/password/success/date time for login Login ---------------------- Login form Username ------------------ Username field in 'Login' Password ------------------ Password field in 'Login' EXPOSURE_REPORT --------- Table that contains information for form VV EXPOSURE_REPORT --------- Form REPORTRECIEVEDBY -------- field that needs the current user stored in it
there are 6 or 7 users total, if that's at all relevant, thanks!
Hi Guys, my first post hereim making a database for work and need to figure out the followingi have two people that uses a ms access db, each entering data.i made a custom macro in the vb editor:Public Function cUsername() cUsername = Environ("USERNAME")End Functionwhat i want to do now is, everytime a new entry is added in the table, it should add that username to the "user" cell... it should only do this once, so for example, when i enter data it will show "albert" and if i was to close it, login as "steve" it should still show "albert" under the ones i added, and not steve...this needs to be in the table not a query or form...thanks for your timeAG
If I have a field in a table called "AddedBy", is there a way for this to default to the CurrentUser that's logged in to the database when a record is added to the table? I know you can use "Application.CurrentUser" both in the VB code and within SQL queries, but it doesn't seem to work if I put it in the "Default Value" box with the table editor. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
I am setting up a call log for an application. Once a message has been entered, I need to restrict access to the person who created it AND to managers (who have admin privelages to the database). Since the user who created a message needs to be able to go back in and edit it if necessary, I can NOT simply restrict access to the edit form to admins.
The command that opens this form looks like this so far:Code:If ((Me.[Transaction] = "Status Call") And _ (Me.[TransactionBy] = CurrentUser())) THEN DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEditMessage" ...Else MsgBox("Blah blah blah, etc etc.")End IfI need to add something to the initial If statement like this:Code:Or (CurrentUser.isMemberOfGroup("Admins"))but I don't know the correct Access syntax for it.
I am trying to position opened forms so that they are cascaded on the screen. I have discovered the movesize action (for the DoCmd) and Move property of a form (for Acc 2002/2003). However, if the application is opened up on different monitors (e.g.; 17" or 19"), the relative location of the opened form is not the same (i.e.; on the bigger monitor the opened form is too far over to the right and too high).
What I want to do is ...
When the subsequent (or second) form is opened up I would like to find the absolute location of the first form (always centered). This way I will be able to reposition the second and third forms relative to the first form.
Is this possible?
I'm having trouble referencing the first form from within the second form. The first form is still open, but they are not linked forms (not parent/child). I've tried:
I have several forms in a navigation form. On all the forms, the little search bar at the bottom shows # of 103 records. On my navigation form it shows 1 of 1 and won't allow me to search.It would seem that the search bar is only looking at the current form and not at the records.
I was creating a program using ms access. consist of 2 table of database called employee and userlevel.. in employee table have ID, name, username, password,userlevel, and others related employee profile.. and in userlevel table, it consist of admin level and normal user level..

Every week i want to import a csv-file (250 records) which may or may not have been updated, say 200 are the same as previous week and 50 records are new/updated.
Is there a way to import the csv and add an extra column with who imported all of the new records (based on currentuser)?
