Modules & VBA :: Unable To Insert Todays Date In Access
May 11, 2014
I have an access database with a query which inserts system date/time from Now() function to a column. My system date is 12-05-14 (12 May 14) and when it is inserting in the table is taken as 05-12-14 (5 Dec 14).
When a form in my database is loaded I want access to check if a textbox on the form is showing today's date and if not send me an email. I'm quite new to VBA so not 100% sure what to do but I've had a few attempts and none seem to work. I have managed what is probably the hard part and can get it to email me but can't seem to get the 'If the textbox is not today's date then' bit right.
The textbox is linked to a table and the data type is 'Date/Time', it does show the time and the date so don't know if this makes a difference? The text box is [DateUpdated] and the form is [Site].
I am new to access 2010. I have a table called "Forecasts", and I wish to update the timestamp with todays date, whenever the user makes a change to the qty of goods forecasted.
I have been researching online for the solution to the correct format to datetime, but it doesnt seem to work.
Code: Dim todayDate As Date todayDate = Date Dim sqlString As String sqlString = "UPDATE [Forecasts] " & _
[Code] .....
The messagebox shows:
UPDATE [Forecast] SET Branch_Plant=123, Item_Number_Short='222', Description='AAA', UOM='EA', Estimated_Cost=123, Requesting_Business_Unit='AAA', End_Customer='CCC', Project ='Secret', Timestamp=#26/12/2013# WHERE ID =24
Then I hit a syntax error. Whats wrong with sqlString?
I have a database which stores information relating to club members, which I'm in the middle of giving a bit of a facelift and one thing I want to automate is the calculation of the expiry date.
My memberships expire annually at the end of December and the expiry date is set as a default value within the table properties. This has to be manually changed every September (every new member from then pays for 15 months) to the following December.
Is there a formula I can insert in the defaul value field that will return December the current year if todays date is between January and August, and December next year if todays date is between September and December?
What's the formula we can use to calculate days between no of days between date job is open and today's date in a query. I am using formulat below formula but the DATE_OPEN and Today (todays date) pops us as enter parameter value. I dont want those enter parameter windows pops us. The date job is open is in a linked table and linked table is getting the information from BPCS software. The date in Liinked is in format YYYYMMDD.
Total Days: DateDiff("d",[Date_Open],[Today])
The SQL Details are below. AUNPRDF_AAA802 is a linked table and information gets updated on 12 am everyday
SELECT DateDiff("d",[Date_Open],[Today]) AS [Total Days], AUNPRDF_AAA802.AAAGE AS Age, AUNPRDF_AAA802.AAORD AS [Job Number], AUNPRDF_AAA802.AAWKSP AS Workshop, AUNPRDF_AAA802.AASWKT AS WorkType, AUNPRDF_AAA802.AANAME AS [Customer Name], AUNPRDF_AAA802.AANME AS [Service Admin], AUNPRDF_AAA802.AASDE1 AS Complaint,
We are getting in files from a vendor that come in with today's date and different extensions and prefixes such as BA0003.20121217.pdf or MYLOOKUP.20121217.psv where the only constant is the date, there are over 100 files that I need to change the date part to today's date. I would like to find all the data before the first period and all the data after the last period and replace the date part with todays date.
I'm trying to create a button that posts an order and before it post certain criterias need to be meet. One of them is a date needs to be selected in the order, if not a popup show to explain. The trouble I'm having is referring to todays date in the VBA code. I've been reading and trying different things but not getting anywhere, hopefully someone can fill me in.
This is the code I'm working with.
If [PayOrderMoneyReceivedSubform].[Form]![OrderDate] = TodaysDate Then dosomething else donothing end if
The part I'm having trouble with is TodaysDate, what should I be putting there?
One the face of it it sounds quite simple - i have a table that holds various bits of info about a customer but also a field that contains a holiday period - what i want to be able to do is show all records that do not equal todays date.
So if today was 11/04/06 - and one of my customers had 11/04/06 as one of his holiday days he would not appear on the report but all the others would.
I have a basic trouble ticket type database that I built. It records troubles and auto fills the date and time when a new records created. I want a simple query that will display the number of calls that each person has taken today.
The problem being that If I use >Date()-1 I will get calls from this time yesterday until now. Is there a way to round down the time to today only? I don't want to lose my time stamp.
I'm wondering what would be the best way to update a list of records based on today's date. Right now I have it to open the form based on the LAST record and then navigate to the record they would like to update, I would only like to show what was entered that day.
I have a "Status" combobox, I'd like the "Date Case Closed" field to auto fill today's date when "Status" combobox = Closed. The way I know how to do this is by using an IIf with Date() function, but, if I do that, the date is gonna keep changing everyday. Do I have options to do this?
I am new to Access. I am after a vba script to run an update query.
I have a table named MYOB_Invent. I have a Query Named MYOB_Update.
The query is showing records where my field named Test1 is null.
I want to update records with null in the field to today's date (the date of the day that it is run) formatted as 18/08/2014 and the field next to it is named Updated (which is yes/no) from un-ticked to ticked for the updated values.
I would like a vba script to automate the process as I want to automate it via a commandbutton for users.
I have a table in access database which contains a text field 'EDate' that stores Date value in format (12-Apr-2013). Now I want to run a sql query on that field. User will give an input date. The sql query needs to fetch me all the records from access database whose Edate is less than or equal to the user input date.
I am using DateValue function to convert my text filed Edate into date. My query is something like this:
select * from table_name where DateValue(EDate)<='user_input_date'
I am able to perform above task if the system language settings are 'English'. But if system language settings are different say Turkish, then the query fails.
I searched a lot on web and found that DateTime function compares test data with the system date time format and gives the result. Thus it fails with different language settings.
I'm trying to search through a table with serial card IDs, Order Numbers, and Ship Dates. I'm search through the Serial Card ID column and making my code work so that if the serial card ID exists and its ship date is between 9/30/2001 and 10/1/2011, then retrieve the associated order number and put in array. All of this works perfectly except for one tiny part : it's not returning a null for either unfound serial Card ID or serial card Ids that exist but their ship dates do not qualify. I would like to return a null value for these fields into the array as well as keep the found values in the array. The whole point of all of this is so I could count the number of rows for all the found order numbers and return a total value with that number.
On a form I have a textbox with a data type of Date/Time. If the user has the cursor in that text box and types the letter "t", I want to automatically insert today's date. I also want them to have the option of manually typing in a date, i.e. 05/12/2001 or use the Date Picker "calendar" item. This is using Access 2010.
I have tried to create an MDE database and receive the message "Microsoft Access was unable to create an MDE database" I deleted all unnecessary tables, queries, forms and reports and still receive this message.
I would like to enter a week dates forward after looking up the last entered date. i have working codes that looks up the last date and increments it by one and enter the date into a new field.
Here is what i have:
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate() Dim dtmNextDate As Date Dim dtmLastDate As Date Dim SDate As Date LastDate = Nz(DMax("[SDate]", "schedule"), _ DateAdd("d", -1, Date)) NextDate = DateAdd("d", 1, LastDate) CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO Schedule(SDate) VALUES ('" & NextDate & "');" End Sub
enter dates into 5 new fields instead of one using a loop maybe.
I am dabbling in updating an existing database.Currently our staff enter data via a form and I have this set up using the below script to automatically complete the "Due date" field with a date 5 working days ahead of the current date, saving them from having to manually enter this date each time.
Code: Public Function PlusWorkdays(dteStart As Date, intNumDays As Long) As Date PlusWorkdays = dteStart Do While intNumDays > 0
[code].....
This then updates the value on the relevant form object using the default value "PlusWorkdays(Date(),5)" to give a date 5 working days ahead. the problem I face is that due to our business process at 15:30 each day our due date needs to change to 6 working days from todays date rather than 5. I was wondering if there is a simple way I can modify the script to add an extra working day when the local time hits a specified point (15:30 in this case), unfortunately this is a bit outside my abilities currently!
i am trying to insert multiple values that i have selected in my listbox to my database access table when i click the "add record button" but the values does not appear in my database table.
i have 2 listbox, when i select the first list box(businessNature) it will display the records in the 2nd list box(lstCuisine). However, the records in the the lstCuisine list box is not entered into the table in my database.
(ps: in my property sheet for my lstCuisine listbox its multi select is simple)
Here is my codes:
Private Sub Add_Record_Click() If IsNull(Name) = True Or IsNull(Mobile) = True Or IsNull(Email) = True Or IsNull(CompanyName) = True Or IsNull(BusinessNature) = True Then MsgBox "Please fill in Business Nature, Name, Contact, Email and Company Name" Else DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec End If Dim conceptValue As String
I am trying to do some simple table operations. I have a field (Date) containing dates, and an empty field called Day.
I want to extract the day number from the Date field, and write it to the Day field.
I didn't get very far until I ran into trouble when setting my recordset. I get the error "Too few parameters, expected 1". Clicking "Debug", will highlight the code line "Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(sqlString, dbOpenDynaset)".
So far, my code looks as follows:
Code: Private Sub Command16_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim sqlString As String Dim dataDay As Byte 'Open connection to current Access database Set db = CurrentDb()
[Code]...
I am not very familiar with the various types of recordset settings. I just want to be able to read data from the Date field, and write data to the Day field.
