This isn't the standard problem with DTPickers & Tab to which I've found lots of references!
I have a form with a Tab control, each page of which has a subform on it. There are several MS Date & Time Picker (6.0) controls on each tab. My problem is this: whenever you change tab when one of these DTPickers has the focus, you then can't type text (into a text or combo box, for instance) on the new tab until you have been into and out of another DTPicker control! (The KeyPress etc events do get triggered though). Once you've selected a DTPicker, you can then select another control and type text in OK.
The forms/controls aren't bound if that's relevant. It may be that the problem is caused by moving between subforms rather than between tabs.
Has anyone else had trouble with this? Is it a bug or expected behaviour (though I can't see why it would be)?
And most importantly, how can I get around it? Hope someone can help.
I want to let the user to select the date and time by showing a control/screen fot this. I used the MS access control: Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0. however, this doesnt show the date properly. Is there any Fully Free software that I can use to show a screen to allow the user to pick the date and time?
Here is what i need help with i have the basic lay out but i just need someone to help me figure out the rest of this. Attached is a sample database with what i am trying to do. if someone would be so kind to help me figure this out that would be great.
in access xp, there was a handy active x DTP. it doesn't seem to be available in access 2003. is calendar control 11 there only option here?? it really isn't as convenient as the DTP. maybe there's a way I can make the calendar control operate in a similar way to the DTP?? or maybe there is a DTP but its called another name in the active x list.
I am using the Date Time Picker in MS Access. When I transfer my database to another computer the control shows as a blank white box. I have already done regsvr32 to register the relevant ocx and ticked the Microsoft Windows Common Controls -2 6.0 (SP6) in the reference box. Is there any other way to repair this control without having to reinstall the whole thing.
I use the Date and Time Picker. i know that i can get many other calendars, however, my theory is that i would rather use something that is directly supported by microsoft. but as i found out now that may not be the case.
on of my users updated his Office 2003 after he was having problems using my database (created on 2002 sp3). i know that the same database works on 2003 sp1. however, now microsoft is serving 2003 sp2. so after the update he he can't use the database.
so my questions:
1. how do i generally prevent users from getting update errors. i would like to atleast alert them with a meaningful message that their version of Office needs to be updated.
2. is this true that the Date and Time Picker doesn't work anymore? and if so, why isn't backwards compatible? and how do i prevent this from happening with other controls or scripts?
everything has been working perfectly except for date diffs.I am simply using an unbound text box with a date diff as a calculator of sorts, which meets the form's purposes. Everything works fine when the two dates are on the SAME tab using the formula ' =DateDiff("d",[DOB],[date of treatment]) ' entered in the textbox.
The number of days between treatment and DOB pops up immediately.
However, when trying to create a second date diff between two source text boxes on SEPARATE tabs, (i.e. DOB on Tab 1, and date of treatment and the unbound date diff calc box on Tab 2) the date diff does not work unless the form is opened, and closed again. As in, the only time the number of days pops up is if the form is closed and opened again.
Hello buddies :D, do you have any idea how to make this work?
To select data that falls within this criteria of date range between cboDate and cboDate2 (fields on my form). The date in [tblJobDetails]![timeIn] come in this format "08/17/06 10:24 AM", but the cboDate/cboDate2 (takes in date only e.g 08/17/06) what i am after is to evaluate specific hard coded time in addition to the date entered, i.e. even tho, i haven't entered time on the cboDate/cboDate2, I want specific time hard coded where e.g If i select a date range of 08/17/06 and 08/18/06 on my cboDate and cboDate2 it should really be evaluating: 08/17/06 8:00 AM to 08/18/06 8:00 AM.
This is the criteria i curentlly have on my query in design view tha works perfect in selecting date only. ([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Is Null) And ([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Is Null) How can I incorporate 8:00am to 8:00am into my cboDate and cboDate2. What can i do to make this happen? Your kindness will be greatly appreciated http://www.naijaryders.com/forums/images/smilies/thankyou.gif
Is there some kind of Time picker function , i can see the date picker however i am using a booking system and have a field named 'time of booking' and i need something that can dump the exact system/online time into the field.
I am using Access 2007 and I have had a curious issue arise.
I like to use the Date Picker feature on all my forms to make it easier to enter dates. I have set up each table's date field property to "show date picker for dates", as per attached (.jpg)
When I use that particular field in a form, I also set up the field to allow for the Date Picker option (date picker form property sheet.jpg)
The curious part is that not every form that I set up actually shows the date picker when I select the date field. Some forms it works perfectly, others it doesn't.
I have a textbox on my form that is for "week of", always a Monday. There is vba to populate the appropriate Monday when the user selects something other than Monday via the date picker. This code is in the on change event. However, this is not friendly to a user entering a date in this field. I did try after update event, but that requires user to leave the "week of" field. This is not acceptable in this instance, there are other form fields that change as a result of this "week of" value.I also tried evaluating the length of the text or else exiting the code. However, I was expecting the date being returned from the date picker to always be 10 positions, but for March 3rd, it would return 3/3/2015...which is only 8 positions.
The query is there to query data, not to edit data or manipulate data in anyway. However, I am disgusted by the appearance of the date picker when I pick a field that is a date field.
Is there a way to hide/remove these date pickers from the query sheet?
Within the table itself I turned the "Show date picker" property to "Never" but that didn't make a difference.
I have a database that stores information for lab testing. Each time a tech does a "step" in the test process he logs it in the table, using an input form. There are different categories, for example preparation, testing, analysis, etc, and each of those steps take time. I have the form autopopulate the date and time with NOW() evertime the form is updated. What i want to do is calculate the time it takes to do each in days. I can easily get how many days it was from now since they logged the test, =NOW()-TestDateTime. What I want to do is get the number of days it took to do each step, ie the number of days between each event. Is there a way to do this?
I've been trying to get a datepicker working in Access, unfortunately Access doesn't really seem to support it very well. I suppose I could make my own if I had to.
I miss VB.NET. VB.NET had built in date functions that allowed you to do a lot of things with dates. VB 6.0 has hardly any such functionality.
What I'd like to do though, is to be able to figure out which day of the week any given date is on. I don't want to write code like that myself, it feels like it would be too much work. Does anyone know of any code that would help out with a solution like this?
It would be nice to have a date picker, to reduce input errors.
I'm trying to get a combo box datepicker to work from a popup form. I've looked at fontstuff's version (http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut13a.htm), but it has the date on the main form (as do the examples I've found using search).
I have to run two queries to get the data I need, and the best way is to have them called at the same time from a macro - hence the popup form. If I use a text box txt_Date formatted as a date box forms![GetDate]![txt_Date] works fine. How do I get the variabe txt_Date to accept the results of the three combo boxes as a single date value?
Is it possible to change the format of a date picker, for instance once i have selected a date, its is visible as 09/11/2006, can this be edited to just the month and the year 11/2006.
I have a form with a date picker control. I am not able to set the default value of the picker to the current date. For example say If I set the default value to "Today", i.e 11 Oct, Even tomorrow it will retain the same value "11 Oct" and not "12 Oct". Is there any way that I can set the default value to current date?
I solved my last problem by not using the ActiveX date picker. Now the date picker which I am using is really good.
But my new problem is that my date picker has a format of dd/mm/yyyyy. Also the format in my database is the same. But when I try to store to store the date value through the querry, the format stored in the database is mm/dd/yyyy. I dont understand this cos I checked the the date picker passes the correct format. I am totally confused!!! (as always)
Does anyone know how to store the correct format in the database..?? This is my querry strSQL = "INSERT INTO projet (id,code_NOP,client,libelle_projet,id_clarity,tech nologie_projet,em,date_debut,date_fin,site_mandata ire,charge_totale,ca_total_vendu) values('" & txt_id.Value & "','" & txt_code_NOP.Value & "','" & txt_client.Value & "','" & txt_libelle_projet.Value & "','" & txt_id_clarity.Value & "','" & txt_technologie_projet.Value & "','" & txt_em.Value & "',#" & Format(txt_date_debut.Value, "dd/mm/yyyy") & "#,#" & Format(txt_date_fin.Value, "dd/mm/yyyy") & "#,'" & txt_site_mandataire.Value & "'," & txt_charge_totale.Value & "," & txt_ca_total_vendu.Value & ");"
I am operating in MS Access 2007 and unfortunately have to stick with the "out of the box" controls. I have data entries of notes in my database for "most workdays" - but not holidays or weekends. I want to allow the user to be able to edit notes for "most workdays" - but not let them pick a day to edit that doesn't have notes - by selecting them from a calendar date picker. Essentially, I want to gray-out/lock the non-workdays from editing.Is there a smart enough Active X or other control as a Date Picker that uses the results of a query to show valid/invalid dates?
I have a form (Access 2007) that requires user to enter a date.
Using the standard date field (short date format) with the date picker works fine however some users prefer to enter the date via the keyboard (some prefer the date picker).
If I set an input mask (to facilitate keyboard entry) for the text box then the date picker disappears.
Is there any way to apply the date picker and the input mask to the control to accommodate all users?
