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.
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,

I have a text field called Notes - where we will add notes about the particular job. What I want to do is have it a locked field with a button 'Add Notes'. When clicked it will insert the date and the user name of the person and then let them type the notes. When they move to the next record - I want that field to be locked again.
I've got some of it down but still not right. I can get it so it inserts the date but it overwrites what is already there. How can I get it to just add the data - not overwrite? And I can't get it to lock when they move to the next record.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

When I mouse over TEXTBOX1 I want it to display the phrase Hello World in TEXTBOX2.
When the Mouse moves away from TEXTBOX1 I want TEXTBOX2 to go back to normal.. (Empty)
How can I get the below VB to work? Or something similar.. I'm assuming a mouse move event or something
Code:
Private Sub TEXTBOX1_GotFocus()
Display Hello World in TEXTBOX2
End Sub
Code:
Private Sub TEXTBOX1_LostFocus()
Clear TEXTBOX2
End Sub

I have a continuous form with a combobox and a text box. In the after_update event of the combobox I want to setfocus on the text box - of the specific record that I'm on. I tried using Me.CurrentRecord but that returns me to a completely different record than the one I was on. How can I setfocus to the text box of the record I am on?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form and one of the text fields I need to verify against data in a table. I think the best way is to check the field once it loses focus on that text field. If the data is not in the table then the user is prompt with a msg "Invalid data, Please try again". I'm using Access 2010 to develop. I need query to run the validation.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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,

Is there a way to assign some short cut controls that will insert certain text into the field the cursor is in? For example, is there a way to assign "No mustard" to Alt-M?
View 2 Replies View Relatedhi guys. i was hoping you guys could help me, i have a combo box "cbocontract" which gets populated according to a selection from another combobox(cboAll). now i have another combo box(cboStatus) which according to what the user selects in cbocontract list box it should display active or inactive, now i have the row source from the cboStatus like this:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Test.Status FROM TEST WHERE (TEST.Facility=forms![Change of Status]!txtInvoice.value) and (TEST.PM_Contract_ID=forms![Change of Status]!cboContract);
it works perfectly, however is there a way to make put this code in a text box? how do i insert the select distinctrow into a textbox??? it should only display one value according to what the user selects in the cbocontract combo box... also, the user should be able to edit this textbox.

Hi All
I have a list box. Below it lies a text box.
I'd like to click on multiple values in the list box which then populates a text box with each value to form a sentence.
currently my code looks like this
Dim Comment As String
Comment = Me.lstComments.Column(0)
Me.txtComment = Comment
Using the above method only inserts one value. How can I modify this to insert multiple values into the text box?
Much appreciated

This is really hard to explain, but basically I'm trying to use a combo box that has a control source different than it's record source to update another field on the record source. For example, the combo box pulls it's options from a table called "NameList" and when you select an option from the combo box it updates a table called "Results". On this form there are form fields that are bound to the "Results" table. What I want to happen is, when I make a certain selection from the combo box, I want one of the fields bound to "Results" to automatically display text from a different table. Is this even possible? If this is a horrible explanation, please let me know. I need serious help on this one, I've been working on this for a day and a half now. If anyone has any ideas on how to do it a different way, please make suggestions. Thanks in advance!
- Josh :confused:
Also, another thing I forgot to mention, this may help anyone who tries to help me. This "Results" form is basically used as a log utilizing a report to display a sequence of events. I've included a screenshot for visual affect. I have censored a few things for privacy reasons.
In Excel I can do the following;
Field A Field B Result
Chips Fries Replacement of 'Chips' with 'Fries' on menu.
(null) Fries Addition of 'Fries' on menu.
Chips (null) Deletion of 'Chips' on menu.
Can I do this in Access using some form of append query?
I'm using Access to export the results of a query to Excel and within the same code I am opening up the spreadsheet to format it. Part of the formatting requires me to find the first empty cell in column A, and then insert the text 'Summary'.
Within Excel, the following code works:
Find empty cell:
Code:
Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
Add term 'Summary' to cell:
Code:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Summary"
I've tried a few different things based on some code I've found on the net from similar situations, but in just about all attempts I get an object defined error. I've tried dimming the piece of code as an object, but when it comes to VBA, I'm just fumbling through.
