View RepliesI'm having trouble with a Form and getting a text box entry box (Date entry) default to the date entered on the last record, which is linked to a table.
The only way I can get it to work is to type the date into the Text Box's Default property, for example, #11/13/13".
How to get the correct syntax or code into the Default property of the Text Box to make this work? I only want the entry to change versus the previous record/entry if the User changes / enters a new date.
My DB has one main table where all the records are stored, and one form with multiple tabs allowing for data entry and editing. There are two distinct "Data Types" I have in the tables, so on the two distinct form tabs, I created a text box with a default value for each one (if it's a Type A record, then the box has a default value of "Type A" and the same rules for Type B).
Here's the problem. It doesn't matter if I include the default value in the Form Properties Default Value field or if I do in VBA (using this method), when a new record is entered into the table, it makes them all default Type B records.
On an existing DB i have set a default value for a field. The customer has now asked that they be able to change this default. I thought, hey, no big problem. They have SuperUsers, so i included a little pop up form that lists all the current valid values for that field (from a look up table). If the default value needs to change a superuser can access this and select the new default. That works fine. The trouble comes when setting the default value on a form.
I figured a simple bit of VBA in the OnOpen event - Me.cmbTypes.Value = Me.cmbTypes.DefaultValue - should work. However the value it returns from the default is ""xxxx"" and as such it is read as "". I can work around it by removing the extra " " but WHY does it do this? Would it be better to set this up as a custom property of the DB?

Hello.
I have a query that is pulling data based on a date in a table. For some records, that date field is empty. For those records, the data should be pulled based on the date of 1/1/06. I tried doing this
=IIf([Signed SLA Received] Is Null,1/1/06,>=[Signed SLA Received])
It doesn't like this at all, it brings back no data. I also tried putting 1/1/06 in quotes, but it didn't make any difference.
This is probably a totally incorrect way to get this done, but I don't know how else to try it.
Thanks!

In the database attached I have a form called from Candidates.In this form is a combo box where a user can select what company the candidate belongs too.
However some candidates are Private Individuals (do not belong to a company).Therefore, I want the Position field to be set to 'n/a" by default if 'Private Individual' is selected.
I have a simple project to work on
In a field for date/time, I want to have a default value of No Shipment Date, this text for a date/time field.
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 table I have 2 fields:
D1 , Date/Time , DefaultValue: Date()
D2 , Date/Time , DefaultValue: Date()+1
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?

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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a text box with the following statement:
Summary detail: Sum(IIf([dacthc]=0,Null,Fix(100*[dqty]*([dstdhc]*[drate]/[dacthc]-[drate]))/100))
My question is, if it meets the criteria, is it possible to make it default to a "0" in the field.
I have a date and time stamp in a Date/Time field of General Date format (3/1/2006 7:52:25 AM).
I wish to select query on the table's Date/Time field by date portion only (3/1/2006) and not include the time portion (7:52:25 AM) of the field.
Using this expression in the query's criteria - "Between [Enter Start Date: (MM/DD/YY Format)] And [End Date: (MM/DD/YY]" will not return the date ranges as desired without also typing in the full time string.
How can the date integer be parsed out and the query properly expression ed on the criteria field without using VB?
In VBA, how to compare date variable with date/time field from table, as when defined the data type in table, date/time option is the only choice for date data type even though I don't want the time portion.
View 13 Replies View RelatedIn a date field is it possible for a date that is in the future to be hi-lighted in a different colour.
E.g. todays date is 25/03/14
So anything with todays date or previous would stay in black
24/03/14
25/03/14
but anything from 26/03/14 forward would be in red
26/03/14
Then will change to black when the 26th comes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
i have a tbl that stores items that have an expiry. in a child table i want to store the expiry. but as it is different for each item i need a way of doing this.
i thought that by having
DateAdd('m',3,Date()) in one of the fields this would work.
on click event i would like the date add to come into play but the way i am doing it comes up with an error. too few arguments.
this is what i have so far
Code:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = CurrentDb

I have a form in which I have four yes/no boxes to indicate in which part of the process is the product.
What I want is that when the last box is checked, automatically the field that I have for Closing Date set the date.
Is this possible? and if it is, how and where can I do it?
I want a field in my table (called 'ContactTotal') that tracks the total number of times the date was changed in the field 'LastContacted' - through either table or a form, but it should exclude any changes made on the same day.
I'd also like a second field (called 'Popularity') that does the same thing, but multiplies any changes made in the last 3 months by 3, the last 3-6 months by 2, the last 12 months by 1 and anything before that by 0.
I have a database that contains 13,772 records and each record contains 34 fields. The database is used for historical research purposes. As I am constantly changing the content in one or more fields I would like to be able to have a field that would show the date of any changes that are made to any of the fields in any given record. Additionally I would like to be able to run a query, lets say every six months and extract all the updated records.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an update query that adds a date to a field which works perfectly but I am wondering if I can get it to check if there is a date there already, if so add another field and put the date in that? Here is my code currently:
Private Sub Command33_Click()
Dim t1 As Date
t1 = Date
CurrentDb.Execute "update tblTest set tblTest.Date2 = #" & t1 & "# WHERE ID = " & Forms!frmSwitchBoard.txtID
End Sub
On my form have a status field with about 7 options to choose from a combo box, i have these values set in another table. What i would like is for my other field, which is a date, to automatically change whenever the status field is changed. So i know how long ago the status field was set. So basically if i change the status to complete i want the date to then set the date and time now.
