I am a little familiar with Access but having a problem figuring out how to alert a user that the date entered on a form is not the current month. I was hoping to have a warning msgbox pop up alerting the user. I am trying to prevent incorrect date entry.
I hoping someone can assist me here, I've looked through the forum for other date related threads raised, but none seem to assist me with what I need to achieve.
I have created a query with an appropriate date field, and I am can't seem to work out how to write the correct formulae to get the query to only show data with a date range for the current month only.
I don't want the user to be prompted to enter any information, I want the query to automatically always, when in the current month only show data for the current month.
I have the following code that should populate the current month date range in the startdate and endDate fields of a form. I do the same thing for the current year and that works great. Can someone tell me what is wrong with the code for the month button. It displays 1/9/07 - 2/8/07. If the current month is September, it should give date ranges from 9/01/07 - 9/30/07.
Private Sub cmdmonth_Click() 'Sets the Date From and Date To text boxes 'to show complete month (from start to end of current month)
Is there a way to take today's date and calculate the last day of the last month? Without the user needing to enter any parameters. In other words, if I ran the query today with this criteria, it would only show information for April 30, 2013. Is that possible?
I have a quick question on how to enter the current date in a record automatically when the record is created.
Here is the situation. Say I have a Products table that lists the products that have come into the inventory. There is a field that denotes the day the product was introduced into the inventory. So ideally when the user creates a new record for the product, I would like this field to be populated automatically with the actual date that this filed was created by the user. Note that in future the user may edit the product (i.e other fields in this record), but the entry_date field should not be altered from what it was the first time is was created.
Is there a way I can do this? Any help much appreciated. thanks.
I have written a user defined function that calculates the end of the current month. This I named EndOfThisMonth. It works well as a function. Now I would like to use it as date criteria to include in a query. The function is included as such EndOfThisMonth().
The field on which this function is to enter as a criteria is another calculated date function called Due.
When I run this query I get an error message saying Undefined Function 'EndOfThisMonth' in expression.
I am extremely new to Access. I have my database up and running ok(ish) and would like to know if in my data entry form, I can have the "Date Entered in Database" box display the current date that does not change from day to day. I know you can use the "Now()" function but won't this just change everyday?
Hello. I've been reading these forums for a few months now while developing a database for logging bugs during website QA, but never posted.
I need a way to change the "Month" combo dynamically based on what a user enters into the "StartDate" and "EndDate" Fields. (I'm using Access '97)
e.g. I have Validation set up on both start and end date fields so they are required before a record can be saved. I would like the "Month" combo box to update with the proper month after a user has entered the StartDate and EndDate. (Basically a timesaver for users who are entering 20-25 criteria into a single form.)
There's one hangup: the date ranges aren't typical, as in, "November 1-30 = November"... It's more like "10/23 through 11/30 = November" here's what that chunk of the form looks like: http://www.ewiessner.com/misc/images/sded_month.gif So if I were to enter 9/27 start, and 10/27 end, "October" would populate in the "Month" combo box, and I could continue to other fields.
Any input would be appreciated, and I apologize if this is a repeat post, I couldn't find any similar topics.
Thanks, -E
p.s. - If it helps, I have a 'Month' table with 1-12 = Jan - Dec, the 'StartDate' and 'EndDate' fields are text entry boxes bound to the master 'Details' table where all the data is stored.
I have a table full of dates of meetings through out the year...
Example
tMeetingDates
16th August 2005 18th September 2005 19th October 2005 23rd November
-----
i also have a report that i print out each month that has the date of the meeting on it... i currently edit the date manually.
I was wondering if there was a way to automate this facility, so that the report looked to the table of dates and looked for the current Months Date that is stored i the table.
i then want this date to be displayed in the Report.
So in this instance if i am running a report for tomorrows meeting being the 19th October it would display that date in the report....regardless of when i run the report...
Obviously if i run the report on the first of November because the month has changed it would then display the date of the November Meeting...
Probably an easy one here.. Got a table that I will like to do a query on.. All I need is to list all records for the current month. So obviously, when it goes to the next month, the query would update and show only records for that month.
What do I need to put under the date criteria to get this query?!?.. Any ideas?
I have a query setup: SELECT Format([RepDate],"mmmm yyyy") AS [Date Reported], inc_Incident.Category, Count(inc_Incident.Category) AS CountOfCategory FROM inc_Incident GROUP BY Format([RepDate],"mmmm yyyy"), inc_Incident.Category, inc_Incident.Status HAVING (((inc_Incident.Status)<>"Cancelled"));
I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the query to return category counts per month (formatted MMMM YYYY) for only the last 3 full months (not including the current month). If it matters Repdate is formated Long Date.
Hi! What expession should I use to set the current month as criteria in a simple query? IE in the criteria field of the query design view... Thank you for your help
I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.
Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.
I am trying to create an Access application where income recognition is automatically calculated and stored at the end of the month based on established parameters. How can this be done? Does it require VBA programming?
I would like to ask for help on my current problem.
I need to input a date on a text box and another text box say txtweeknumber should determine the week number the date falls on the current month.
for example:
May 1, 2005 should fall on week 1 and txtboxweeknumber should say Week 1 May 9, 2005 should fall on week 2 and txtboxweeknumber should say Week 2 May 17, 2005 should fall on week 3 and txtboxweeknumber should say Week 3 May 25, 2005 should fall on week 4 and txtboxweeknumber should say Week 4 May 30, 2005 should fall on week 5 and txtboxweeknumber should say Week 5
Same goes for all months. Is there a function to determine which week number of the current month the input date falls?
Below is the Field data I have in a query. This allowed me to get a count of forms for the current month. I think it is giving me a count of forms for both October 2004 & October 2005. Up until this month I did not have any data covering the same month of both years. Could this be what is happening and if it is how do I change my field data to ensure it is current month and current year only?
FORMS: DCount("[Date_of_Change]","all_trucks_table","[FORM #]=true AND Month([Date_of_Change]) =month(now)")
I am looking at creating a query which would report whether a specific field is yes/no. However, I would like it to based on that days specific month. For example, I have 12 check box fields, one for each month, and I would like to create a report where it would look up whether or not the current month has a check box in it. Additionally, I would like to create another where the criteria would require me to put in a month to search for. For example, to search to see whether or not december has been checked.
I need to Criteria between currently Month and Next Month. (we are in April because of this im giving this example : 01.04.2015-31.05.2015) .I tried this code but its not working :
