Hi
I want reduce one minute from my date field. My date field looks like this: 17.3.2006 3:57:00 and I want it to look like this:17.3.2006 3:55:00. I have tried to make it like this: DATEADD( minutes, -2, [StartTime]) AS NewStart. StartTime is date field. But this doesent work. Could somebody tell me how to reduce one minute from date field??
I have several pieces of equipment that register data every minute, is there a way to do like a 5 minute average
i.e., 00:00 - 00:04, 05:00 - 09:00
NOT 00:00- 05:00, 01:00- 06:00 and so on.
i have a problem i have field contains (minutes as number) like 5750 i want to convert thes minutes to short time hh :nn to be 95:50
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a Access database with a frontend/backend design. I want to keep a table in the BE updated with the current list of users inside of the frontend. To do this I thought that I would just have the front end update a time field saying that that user is still inside of the FE. My question is two-fold - firstly, how can I run a function every minute or so to update this table.
Secondly - is there a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I have to write a code in a form so that if nobody is doing any activity for 5 minutes then after 5 minutes automatically press Close button named BtnClose in that form.

I have included a sample of the data and output. Is there any way to pull this in Access (or SQL)?

Hi:
I have one problem.
If I create many many tables, then delete them, then create new tables, so on. The size of the MS Access file will become large.
So, how can I reduce the size of the file? Even though I delete the tables, the size will NOT become less, so how to reduce the size of the file?
Please let me know, thanks a lot. Thanks.
Hello,
I hope you don’t mind my using this forum as a learning tool. I am running an Access 2007 database. I am trying to create a query from 3 tables:
TblTrainingPrograms containing the following fields
Program Number (unique value)
Program Title
Program Date
TblInstructors with these fields
InstructorName, address, etc.
TblInstructorProgram with the fields
InstuctorID
ProgramNumber(linking this instructor to a particular training)
InstructorNumber(in the case of multiple instructors for the same training, the user may add new records and enter “1”, “2” or “3” here)
I need to run a query that will display even multiple instructor programs in one record, so that Instructor# 2 will appear in another field in the same record rather than having 2 or three records displayed in the datasheet view. I’ve tried several combinations, but when there is only one instructor, the Program does not appear in the query results.
I don’t really know a lot about SQL, but I’m hoping there might be a way to do this that way. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Pat
Hi, i am wondering how to reduce the size of access.
i have included pictures within forms which obviously made the database bigger (it is currently around 12mb).
However i have tried to delete the pictures to reduce the size, this method did not work at all. The database remains the same size.
does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem i am having?
thanks
Pete
My A2003 FE mdb has grown over the years and is now about 180Mb.
Is it advisable to copy the contents of the FE mdb into a blank A2003, every few months, in an attempt to make it smaller?
Is there something to watch out for during the copy?
I used to generate PDFs in A2003 with Leban's code, and they came out at about 10K.
in A2010 these same PDFs are coming out at about 250K - whether i use docmd.outputto, or still use the previous code
is there any way to reduce the size of the pdfs?
Hey everyone! Hopefully, someone can help me with this. I've searched the forum and can't find anything on it.
I want to take a number and reduce the number of decimal places from 4 to 3 WITHOUT rounding it. Just chop off that 4th number...I don't care about it.
Examples:
243.4586 = 243.458
22.0541 = 22.054
5.8577 = 5.857
1,587.2556 = 1,587.255
Seeing as how the numbers can be in the 10's, 100's, and 1000's, I can't just use the LEFT function. :D That, of course, would be too easy.
Suggestions? Solutions?
Thanks in advance!
How do you update a table by reducing a number by 10?
My assignment question is:
10 students have left GY101. Write an SQL UPDATE statement to reduce the class size by 10 for all modules taken by GY101 students.
I can display the students who take GY101 with the following code
SELECT moduleCode, classSize
FROM ROOM_BOOKING1
WHERE moduleCode IN (SELECT modCode
FROM STUDENT_REG1
WHERE sID IN (SELECT id
FROM STUDENT
WHERE courseCode = "GY101"));
But how to reduce the number by 10.
I'm trying to create a database that is going to be used to deliver some work to several of our users. Each time they open a specific form they'll be delivered a job.
The tables are organized somewhat like this
tblQUEUE
PK_ID_Job(AUTO_NUMBER)| JOB_NUMBER(INT)|LOCKED(BOOL)
tblWorkOrders (FK_ID_JOB (INDEXED DUPLICATES ALLOWED))
FK_ID_Job(LONG)|Name(STR)|Date(DATE)|
Now it works like this, the user gets an ID_JOB from queue
In the form they get all the all the work orders with that ID_JOB, the thing is i'm getting users with same duplicate orders cause i can't update the locked efficiently.
Regarding the users, the database is split, multi-user, with >30 simultaneously
I'm been trying to use dao.recordset, with transactions to try and reduce the duplicate orders.
I am new to Access and am trying to reduce a dataset I am working with to make it managable for Excel. I have three columns which have three unique parameters and one column with numberical content.
Column A Column B Column C Column D
NJ Red Monday 10
NJ Red Tuesday 20
NJ Yellow Wednesday 30
NY Red Monday 35
NY Green Tuesday 40
NY Green Wednesday 60
I want to elimiate column C from the dataset, and sum column D for every unique combination of Column A & Column B. I have figured out how to reduce down the dataset to get a list of all unique combinations of Column A&B,what formula I can use in a query to sum column D on my table for every unique combination of column A&B. This is a simple SUMIF in excel, but my dataset is too large for excel.
I have created a front end and put into production for my users but I want to reduce the amount of menu bar options they see so someone cant click on a button wondering what it does and mess something up. What is the best way to reduce the amount of options a user sees on the menu bars when they open the front end of the db?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am building an Access database for a client. It is an employee staffing database. With that being said they would like the ability to automatically populate the "T2PPCD" date field based on what is entered into the "Report Date" field. (Same table)
The date is the Monday after 180 days from the report date.
I already know how to get it to auto fill 180 days from the "Report Date" but I'm not sure how to tell it to give me the Monday after 180 days.
I'm trying to get my "IncidentDate" field to autopopulate two other date fields to a few days from the "IncidentDate". The other two date fields are "ContainDueDate" and "RootDueDate". I'm trying to accomplish this on my "Test CAP Form"
I tried using the following in the BeforeUpdate of "ContainDueDate" and received a complier error: expected =
Code : DateAdd(d,2,[IncidentDate])
so I removed the parenthesis and nothing happened
Code : DateAdd d,2,[IncidentDate]
I even tried redoing it in the AfterUpdate of "IncidentDate" and nothing happened either
Code : DateAdd d,2,[ContainDueDate]
I'm not sure if I'm even using the right function to get what I want.
I've inherited a database into which the user (not me) is entering essentially the same Date data twice: field 1 contains 6/19/2014 and for field 2 they enter June-14 (the month and year from field 1).
I suspect there should be a way to derive and then reformat the display of field 2 based on the contents of field 1, such that the user only has to enter the first. Is this true? If so, how?
(I know there really is no need for the 2nd field, but existing reports and queries are built around it -- so for right now, I'm just trying to eliminate the duplicate data entry)...
I have a report that displays simple date fields. One of the fields is "lease execution". On the report, I want "lease execution" to display differently depending on the date the report was run.
So:
- If the "lease execution" date is more than 120 days away from today, I want it to display as Q YYYY.
- If the "lease execution" date is between 120 and 90 days away from today, I want it to display as MM/YYYY
- If the "lease execution" date is 90 days or less away, I want it to display the normal date MM/DD/YYYY
I was thinking I would need to do DateDiff() to figure out an amount of days that's between Now() and [Lease_Execution]. Then based on that amount make the report show it differently. Pseudocode would be: if DateDiff() = 40, then display [lease_execution] as MM/DD/YYYY
I am creating a repayment schedule (as a report) and I want to display a series of fields as a column which return (show) a date one month after the date in the field above.
The first repayment date field (Line 1) will show a date one month after the loan was paid out. the Next field below will show the date one month later.
I can't simply insert the "Date + 30" because that would get out of since over the year. If the loan was issued on say the 15th of January, I need the first field to display 15th February and the next would be .... 15th March.... Yes - You've got it!
Now I could do that in Excel, but I don't know how to get Access to do it.
I am building a database to track contract of employees so that I can know which contracts are valid and which are expired.
My table has the following fields:
ID (Primary key)
Employee ID (Foreign key to link to the employee table)
Start_Date
End_Date
Status (Either valid or expired)
Challenge
I want when I enter the end date, the system checks the end date against the current date and fills in the status field with either valid or expired as appropriate. For instance if the contract end date is March 10,2016, the status must be filled in the word valid.
We use access to enter our service tickets in at work.What we have are three date fields.
Call Date
Start Date
End Date
We are 24/7 operation.Currently all 3 just autopopulate with the current date.What i would like to do is ADD a CHECKBOX next to each Date Field.And make it work like this.
1. let them autopopulate as they are currently
2. if you end the call AFTER MIDNIGHT (the next day). CHECKING the box would automatically populate yesterdays date in each of the fields that has the check box CHECKED
Is there a way to show the earliest and latest dates of a report generated by a non-date field?
E.g. I generate a report based on Food, and it'll list the days that this food is associated with. Is there a way to show the first and last day that appears in this report (i.e. the range of dates that the report shows based on the food selected)
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?
I have a query based on a table which has a date field. the field both in the table and the query have the time also in the date value so when I try to query on a date I get nothing if I copy the date and time from the field I will get the result for that record if I just use the date I get nothing. I have tried the format which does display just date but if you click on the field the time is also there You must be able to query for a date only and get all the records.
