Modify Date / Time For Multiple Fields In The Record
Jul 2, 2014
automatically adding modified date/time to a record as it changes..I have a work log database for a team of people to keep track of workflow (documents in/out, stage in the workflow, owner of the record, etc.). I have a number of records that I want to automatically update a corresponding date/time field when it is changed. For example, one part of the workflow tracks a document through the approval of 5 different people. So I have a five records that are yes/no flags for approval and five records that are date/time for when it was approved. Right now my team is manually entering the five date/time stamps, but I'd like to have it automatically update when the check the "yes" box and update that field in the record.
I have a database with date and time each stored in a separate field. Now I want to query the database based on a start date/time and an end date/time. I started with the code below but it only returns events within the same time range on each day when what I really need is every event from a specified date and time through a specified date and time.
SELECT myTable.ID AS myTable_ID, myDate, myTime, FirstName, LastName FROM Staff INNER JOIN myTable ON Staff.ID = myTable.StaffID WHERE myTable.myDate >= #3/2/2014# AND myTable.myDate <= #3/3/2014# AND myTable.myTime >= #8:00PM# AND myTable.myTime <= #11:00PM# ORDER BY myDate desc
In the above example what I want is every event from 3/2/2014 8:00PM until 3/3/2014 11:00PM. But what I get instead is every event between 8:00PM and 11:00PM on 3/2/2014 and every event between 8:00PM and 11:00PM on 3/3/2014.
My problem is simple, and i imagine it is easy to fix. I have more forms in my db than I would like to count, and I have a couple lines of code to add to the onload event of each form.
Is there an way, without actually having to edit each form myself, to add the code i need to add to all forms. Is there some code I can write that will let me modify the on load property of a form, and save it?
I know what i need to do, minus the part where i actually change the onload event.
Code: Function FormatTime(Amount As Double, Rate As Double) As String Dim x As String x = CStr(Round(Amount / Rate * 60)) FormatTime = Format(x / 1440, "hh:mm:ss") End Function
How can i modify this code to accommodate time that exceed 1440 minutes?
I'm working with a linked table that has a seperate field for the date, and a seperate field for the time (which show in the linked table as '11/30/1899 9:46:00 AM'). I need to calculate the time difference between 2 entries.
How can I merge the 2 fields into a combined date/time field for my calculations?
I am currently building a booking and invoicing database for the small business where I work. One aspect of this database allows you to enter an employee name and schedule days off via a form I have already built. To access this information I would like a parameter query where you can enter a date once and then have this date looked up across a number of date fields. Here are my table column headings:
ID Employee Name Date 1 Date 2 Date 3 Date 4 Date 5 Date 6 Date 7 ....etc
So, basically, the parameter query would ask "What date?" which the person would enter, and then search all 12 date fields to see if the date was contained in any one of them. Then it would pull any records which did have the date in one of the fields.
It seems really simple but I have searched and searched and can't seem to find the answer. Tried a multivalue field but does not seem to work.
Thanks very much, any help appreciated! Elspeth :confused:
I have written the following code. I want to change the status of my order when reminaing products shipped is equal to zero. When I run this code I get error " Cannot update. Database or object is read only". I think that this error is because that I am using the front end of the database.
Code:
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate() Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rstTest As DAO.Recordse Dim strQuery As Strin strQuery = "SELECT OrderingT.Order_ID, OrderingT.UnitsRequested,OrderingT.OrderStatus, ([UnitsRequested])-Count([Product_ID]) AS [The Remaining
I am creating a query with criteria for a dates column. The column cotaining dates in my Table has many empty fields. I want to limit the criteria for my dates to >#1/1/2004#, but I don't want Access to exclude all the empty fields because I want all the data displayed for the purposes of my report.
What do I do? I'm not terribly familiar with Access, so please explain as completely as possible. Thanks in advance!
I'm combining two date/time fields in a query to an integer. The first field has the date, the second the time. I'd like the resulting integer to be without the opening 0. How can I do that?
That is, these are the two fields: 2006-09-14 (date/time) 15:00:20 (date/time)
And I'd like those two combined to be 60914150020 (integer) in the third field in the query.
I have a table in which each record includes a field showing the time that an event started and then another field which stores "how long did it take", these two fields are both defined as a short Time. I then have a query that runs through the "how long did it take" fields to produce an average time for the whole sequence of events. Two problems:
1. The average comes out as a decimal like 39553.367942 instead of several hours and minutes.
2. When I try to access this value using DLookup on a form I get "#error"
Im having a problem adding the date and time to a new record using a form. The 1st method i used was by inserting the default value set to Date() & Time() functions, this worked fine for over a year, but now on some computers on the network the following error pops up "function is not available in expressions in table-level validation expression".
The 2nd method I tried was to add a macro with 'setvalue' commands to the After Update event of one of the first field's that was entered, this entered the same information into the Time & Date field once the first field was updated. This now brings up the macro fault screen and the 'Halt' button has to be pressed to clear the error.
This only happens on the older computers that access the database, the new computers don't bring up any errors.
I created a Contact database where I have the date and time as two separate fields in one of the tables. I have them defined as such, but would prefer that the fields wait until I enter data into them and not auto fill with the current information. Is there a property of these fields I can set so that these fields do not get auto filled? Again this database is too large to send, so I hope that you can help without it.
I have a simple Query which very satisfactorily exports data to a Tab Delimited Text File to upload to a website.
The field titles are dictated by the Table Field Names but I would like to modify these for the export. Is there a simple criteria code by which this can be achieved.
For anyone that might be able to help me out, I'd very much appreciate it, as this is now number 2 stupid workaround that I'd like to resolve before I need counselling...;)
I have a Date/Time field that I'm importing into my database via .csv files. The field is setup like the example below in every .csv file:
4/2/2007 8:30:00 AM
Access keeps throwing errors and deleting all the field values in this field whenever I try to import. I know that Access does this when a Date/Time field includes data that is not delimited, but these field values seem to be perfectly formatted to me... what can I do to stop Access from chucking these on import?
Right now I'm just importing the data into a "text" field, and then changing it to "date/time" afterwards, but I'm worried that once the table gets too long I won't be able to re-index all those records anymore and my database will be useless since it depends on that field being "date/time" format...
All those better than I feel free to show me how and where I've been stupid:D
In my form I have a calculated field that works out the time elapsed for a job, worked out as the QTY/RUN RATE which gives me the time in hours. However I couldn't format the box as a date/time, as it is a calculation and the times may go over 24 Hours which results in the date/time giving me something like 31/12/1899 16:00 for example.
I've got around this now and I've formatted the results as HH:NN:SS using a public function in a module, but the problem is this is now stored as a text field. I've tried setting this to a number field but the formatting doesn't carry over. I've tried setting a custom format in the table as HH:NN:SS but then all I get is just a bunch of 0's, no calculation results.
So how to format this as a number field properly?
Also for any extra information:
- I know you're not supposed to store calculated results, but this is slightly different, the calculated field is a standalone text box and the bound field is a formatted text box. - The reason I have to store the calculated results is because my boss wants to eventually see a chart of the total hours of jobs each day, hence why I'm asking if this can be done as a number field.
I have a form that contains a subform. On the main form, there are 3 fields: [IncidentNumber], [OpenDate] and [OpenTime]. The subform, [CtrlLog Detail] , contains the log entry details for each incident number. Every incident number can have many log entries. Two of the fields on the subform are [EntryDate] and [EntryTime]. The fields work correctly and the forms are fine.The issue Im having is when a new incident number is created the [OpenDate], [OpenTime] and [EntryDate], [EntryTime] MUST be equal because of some filter queries for statistics. Right now the user must physically type in the date/times in these 4 fields when they create a new incident number, which means I'm having lots of data entry errors.
Using default value on either [EntryDate] or [EntryTime] on the subform doesnt work because it doesnt create a primary key for the underlying table and the subform will not allow any other entry (due to some other linked values) until that PK is created. The forms are based on tables linked by [Activity_ID] as the primary key. I want to create some VBA code to see that if the Incident number is a new number (meaning the user must type in the new incident number creating the primary key for [Activity_ID]), that access will automatically populate the [EntryDate], [EntryTime] fields to match the [OpenDate], [OpenTime] fields on the main form. The user will manually populate the [OpenDate], [OpenTime].
If the number is an existing number (and the user is simply adding a log entry to the incident number) then I want [EntryDate], on the subform to default to the system date/time ([EntryTime] should remain blank for user entry) while keeping [OpenDate], [OpenTime] unchanged. When the [EntryDate], [EntryTime] fields are populated on creation of a new incident number, I want the PK for the underlying table ([Log_ID]) to be generated.
Hello, exactly how Access 2002 and SQL operate is still a bit fuzzy to me.
In brief: tableAccounts has fields for Signatory1ID and Signatory2ID, and other stuff tableSignatories has ID for a primary key and has SignatoryTypeID as a field tableSignatoryTypes has ID for a primary key and SignatoryType as a field
For each account, on a Form I want to show the Signatory and SignatoryType info for both signatory1 and signatory2. I have tried creating various queries and INNER JOINing the tables and/or queries together, but whenever I manage to get all the information displayed, none of it is editable. Access seems to lock the various text boxes and combo boxes.
Where in Access 2010 I can modify the displayed fields of a Combo Box on a form. I need to format the display window and add criteria to one of the fields. Can't remember where I set this up and recently upgrading from Access 2007 isn't working.
Is it possible to select 1 MAX date from multiple date fields for a record?
For example, on an employee record there are 10 date fields, each for a performance review date. Some employees may have date fields 1-3 with values, some with just 1, others 1-5, etc.....depending on how many performance reviews they've had.
Is there a way to pull the MAX review date for an employee, knowing that the MAX date could reside in Field 1 for a certain employee, and could be from Field 7 for another?
We store data for clients which can be found online. Our current method of getting the data so we can analyze it is to copy a table found online and pasting it into excel.
What we want to do is to copy that data into an access table. This equates to inputting multiple records at the same time. There are 5 columns and around 20 rows (records) pasted at the same time. I want to do this in Access, through a form which would them store that data in the appropriate table.
I assume there is an ActiveX control out there which can put a spreadsheet in an access form. Then i could maybe write a VBA procedure to input the data into a table.
I have to create a query in access that will calculate two Date and time fields [Date & Time Left]/ [Date Returned], need to figure out between the two fields. Trying to identify when the rep returned the call and the number of business hours (6:00am - 4:30pm) it takes to return a message in Ms Access 2010.
The only issue is the calculation has to be done by time and so I have to calculate what time they left the message(so the difference between [Date & Time Left] and [Date Returned) [Date & Time Left] and when the rep returned the message which is suppose to be [Date Returned] but the problem with this field is the data entry is in date format (10/9/2014, 00/00/0000) of Date and not Date and Time like the [Date & Time Left] field, so I don't know what to do now. Not sure what to do now not a database that create or have allot of control over.
Any way of setting up a table containing the following date/time fields.
StartDate StartTime EndDate EndTime
Ultimately I will need to be able to subtract these date/times to get a total time between the two. Should I combine the start date and times in one cell or keep them separate.
In either scenerio, how do I subtract the two in a query for a report?
Hi, on a database I created with probably over one hundred fields in it I have one text box called update. What I want is if ANY of the fields are altered it then updates the "update" field with date and time. At the moment I have started altering every field with creating an event proceedure in the "on change" entry which reads as below for a change to text5 box. (text141 is the update field)
Private Sub Text5_Change() [Text141] = Now() End Sub
Now, although this works; as you can imagine it's very time consuming going through every single field I have puting this proceedure in place. My question.....Is there a much simpler way of making this "update" field change if any part of the record gets altered ?????
Hope this isnt confusing.
I should add that each record has about 4 tabs(pages) too, so the overall record is spread over all this too. I need something that knows that anything is altered on the record and so update the "update" field
