I have a form with two text boxes in which I would like to insert the current date automatically when the text box has got focus. Default value doesn't work because the current date may occur on two different days, and the default has to be null until the current date is inserted.
Can someone walk me through the process? Thank you.
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 insert a button that delete current record but i want when click on button the following message will not appear.

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 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.
Hello,
I was wondering how to check a date in a table vs current date and
then put a yes/no in a colum if the date in the table is past current date.
In the form I know it should be wrote in the Upon Open Event
But I am unsure of the code.
Thank you for your time,

Hi, I am inserting records into a table where one of the fields I want to insert is a date value from a form. When I run the query without inserting it it works fine. When I change the value into some other type (a string) it also works fine. I have tried it with a date 05/05/05 so it has nothing to do with the sequence. The destination field as well as the form has identical data types. The keys are OK as the record is inserted. Only the date is missing.
The error message displayed states:
Microsoft access set 6 fields to NULL due to a type conversion failure ...
I guess I am using the 'dateInvoiceSent' wrong or without the required format command. Any help is most appreciated.
INSERT INTO clientInvoice (InvoiceNo,clientName,dateInvoiceSent)
SELECT DISTINCT jobInvoice.InvoiceNo, job.ClientName, [Forms]![CreateInvoices].[InvoiceDate] AS dateInvoiceSent
FROM job INNER JOIN jobInvoice ON job.JobRef = jobInvoice.JobRef
WHERE (((job.JobRef)=[jobinvoice].[jobref]));

I have a form that has a date field. I have a button next to that field that opens another form that I've placed a calendar on. Is there a way to click on a date in the calendar and have it automatically insert the date into the date field on the previous form?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have an insert into statement this involves inserting values into date/time fields. I understand the a '#' has to come before and after the value, and when all values are populated this works great.
Code:
INSERT INTO TableName VALUES (#1/1/2013#,#1/2/2013#)
However, what about in the case of Nulls? The resulting statement then looks like the following. This results in the statement trying to put a '##' in the table and it doesn't like it.
Code:
INSERT INTO TableName VALUES (#1/1/2013#,##)
I am trying to input records into a local Access table, not a SQL table.
I want the query to return the results of all records that are for the next day.

There is a Date Submitted in my form that I would like it automatically poplulated with the current date. How do I do that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application that has a text box on a form that points to a memo data type.
On the form, I wish to allow the users to insert the system date with a short-cut key. (Trying to use Ctrl-D).
I have coded a Keypress Event that checks for the Ctrl-D. "Current" code is below:
===============================
Private Sub PM_Comments_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Dim MyString As String
Dim MyDate As Variant
'Check to see if user pressed Ctrl-D
If KeyAscii = 4 Then
MyDate = Date
MyString = Format(MyDate, "Short Date") & ":"
SendKeys ("") ' Perhaps I need to dump the Ctrl-D in the buffer???
SendKeys (MyString)
End If
End Sub
==================================
I say current because I have tried MANY variations. The code is executing properly on the Ctrl-D. I have watched the variables in debug mode and they contain what I want, namely "mm/dd/yy:" for the current date. Problem is, it inserts the TIME in the memo field. And it is the system time, not the integer of the date formatted into the time.
Crazy thing is, in debug mode, the darn thing will do what I want and insert the date in the VB editor page. Just won't do it in the memo field on the form.

We have a memo field that we use for on going notes.
Each day they may type more notes.
Is there a shortcut key, a button, or a way to automatically enter the date
and time before the notes?

Hello,
I have about 1500 records in a table. We use a form to search through the records to find info on certain accounts. We now want to only search through accounts that are current, so I made a query to see only current accounts. I switched the search form from going off data right from the table to the new current date query. Now when you load the form it says "running query" and the application stops responding. The query seems to load up quick in raw format.. how come the application freezes when searching using the query instead??
thanks,
Matt
Hi there, I am trying to put a query on my form which selects the most recent date of a members attendance from an attendance table and displays it in a text box, the code I am using is:
Private Sub Text41_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
SELECT MAX(Attendance.AttendDate) as "LastAttended"
FROM Attendance
WHERE Attendance.membershipNo = Forms!Customer.sbfAttendance.Form.membershipNo
End Sub
Customer is my main form and Attendance is my subform. I think the mistake is that I dont have a field called last attended (you are not supposed to store data like this are you) and I need it to display in my text box (text41) on the main form
Thanks in advance,
Jon
When I print queries (and maybe forms) I would like to have the date printed on the sheet so I know when I printed it out. How should I do this??
Thanks
Hey guys,
I'm trying to pull data that has a due date within 30 days from the current date. I'm trying to use

but I'm getting incorrect records. Can someone please help me out? Thanks.
