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 RepliesI have a database that has textfields / forms, what I would like to do is to add an option that when the textfield is clicked a calendar will appear and when the user selects the date in the calendar interface, it will insert the date for them.
How can I do this in MS Access?
I am creating a new system over the course of the year for a chosen organization. I have chosen to do Zumba (dance classes). I have created 3 tables for my system; "Bookings", "Classes", "Client Details".
Now... In the table "Classes", I have got Class ID (eg. HFP), the class type (eg. Zumba Sentao), the Venue (eg. Village Hall), postcode and class dates.
This is where I am stuck, in the fields of Class Dates I want to add a calender which allows me to enter the dates of eg. Zumba Sentao throughout a 2 month period. I want to be able to insert a calender icon/button into the field and then show all the dates over 2 months when this class is on (and then grey out all of the dates that aren't applicable to this class).
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,

Hi
I'm recently added the CalendarControl 9.0 into some combo boxes in order to quickly input dates - however only the dates are then added, not the day of the week. The day of the week would be really useful if it was visible as the form is outputted to a HTML page for our intranet for other staff to see.
My (relevant) code at the moment is as follows:
-------------------------------------------------
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Dim cboOriginator As ComboBox
Private Sub cboStartDate_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Set cboOriginator = cboStartDate
ocxCalendar.Visible = True
ocxCalendar.SetFocus
If Not IsNull(cboOriginator) Then
ocxCalendar.Value = cboOriginator.Value
Else
ocxCalendar.Value = Date
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cboEndDate_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Set cboOriginator = cboEndDate
ocxCalendar.Visible = True
ocxCalendar.SetFocus
If Not IsNull(cboOriginator) Then
ocxCalendar.Value = cboOriginator.Value
Else
ocxCalendar.Value = Date
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
ocxCalendar.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub ocxCalendar_Click()
cboOriginator.Value = ocxCalendar.Value
cboOriginator.SetFocus
ocxCalendar.Visible = False
Set cboOriginator = Nothing
End Sub
-------------------------------------------
Any help and ideas much appreciated!
Hi All,
I know there are several examples of calendar date and time pickers about so I thought I would offer mine up for critique.
No modules, very little code, code used is simple and can be called from subforms as well as forms.
I used these forms in an application where the users find filling in date and times in the correct format difficult with limited keyboard skills.
If it can be improved let me know..... :)

PS I think the contributions Banana has been making to this forum are invaluable.
Keep up the good work.
Hi,
I have placed a calender object in Access 2003 on a form of mine and would like it to show the current date. Is there a way to set a default? IF it is code, where does it go?
I've run into some mysterious problem...
I use some bits from both of these calender examples
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=62606&highlight=calender
I mainly use the double-click version, but I've got two date fields (start and stop date) and use som ideas from the other for that.
When I use it in my form it works almost perfect. The only problem is when I double-click a date in the calender, to get it into the date field, the date won't update in the date field until I click another object in the form.
Why? Any ideas?

Hi all~
A database front end which was built by somebody else got handed to me to do some updates (as the person who created it is no longer with the company).
The database currently has roughly ~30 reports, about 15 of which are pulled daily, and the rest weekly/monthly. Part of the report criteria selected by the user are beginning and end dates. Currently the dates are input via text boxes on a form, then referenced by the SQL statement which generates the report data.
The users want the text boxes to be changed to either a drop down list or a calendar which they can just click on a date instead of typing it in. I know .NET provides controls for a built in calendar which you can use for date selection, but this database is simply an Access front end, so I cannot use .NET.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this via VBA?
I want to add a date from viewing the calendar. When I click on the date text box then want to see the calendar and I will choose the date and that date will appear in the text box.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have developed an Access database which keeps track of items we have received. What I want to do is enter a date in a field and then by clicking a button that date and the name of the item gets enetered into my Outlook calendar so that it will pop up a reminder on that date.
I have no idea if/how this can be done. Any ideas or examples very much appreciated.
hi.. i have attached a simple db.. 1 table.. 2 fields..
jobdate and jobday
open the form and double click on the jobdate.. it opens a calendar.. when you choose a date it puts it into the jobdate field..
i have created a simple drop down underneath the jobdate with the days of the week..
is there a way to tweak the calendar module so it also chooses the job day.. because the days are clearly displayed along with the number dates.. so it must be possible..
here is the db in 2000 and 97 format..
thanks in advance.. i think this will benefit many users using this calendar
How can i add date in textbox by simply selecting it from calendar?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using access 2003 with the calendar control 11, this works fine for entering values control whose control source is a date field.
My problem is that now I'm trying to use the calendar to update the value of a unbound textbox and it will not allow me to enter any value other than the default value of the calendar.
I have to update the unbound textbox as I want to use a button later on to update the date field and include a confirmation message before entering to avoid accidental entering.
a couple of months ago i found a celndar control replacement that Microsoft kindly provided. i have made a few mods that allow me to change the day/week etc. i would now like to tell it to open on a certain date. the reason is that on each of my client records i have 'Future Appointments'. i would like to be able to select a future appointment and click a button that then opens a form that includes the calendar and go to the date of the future appointment. the calendar controls the diary. whatever date the calendar is on the diary matches. so to change to the date of the appointment i need to change the calendar date.
i tried the obvious first.
[Forms]![frmDiaryMultiView]![frmCalendar].Value=#01/01/2012#
that didnt work as the calendar does not seem to recognise it.
i am totally lost with this as i dont even understand most of the code that is behind the calendar, so i dont know what i am looking for to use to open it on a given date.
I have a continuous form bound to a query. I want to filter this form with any date inputted into a text box through a pop-up calendar control. The default date in the text box should be Date().In the query, I set the criteria on Call_Date filled as follows but the form does not requery to return the expected data:
Call_Date:
Criteria: Forms!F_On_Call_Officers!txtEndDate
I have started converting our Access 2003 to Access 2010 applications. In the past we have used the Calendar to pick a date to place in a textbox. I noticed that this feature will not work in Access 2010.
So I looked around and saw several references to using the calendar pick feature to a textbox...but without success.
How to have a textbox with a calendar icon next to it to populate the chosen date in the textbox?
I need to set calendar control as criteria for date in VBA query. I cannot find Calendar control in ActiveX tools in Acc 2010. Where is it?
Date picker seams like very slick and simple solution but I can see it only in database. As it might be solution to my problem, can date picker be used on a form as criteria for VBA query?
I am trying to allow a calendar to search through a text box with a large amount of data in which will have headings using the date so i wanted to use a calendar search. Hopefully this will be be like the find function in word where you type (or in this case select a date) then click search or next which will take you to that specific date.

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]));
