Putting In The Date After Field Is Input
Jan 26, 2006
Sorry guys, I thought this would be simpler than it was!
Basically I just want to update my "Resolution date" field with the date or time now (which I know how to do) but AFTER I input data in my "Resolution" field ie I want a field to automatically record what time I am entering the text in my "Resolution" field?
How do I do this, and can I do it without writing a macro? I thought it was along the lines of After Update, but now I am confused!
Thanks again - I am learning just slowly!

I'm a beginner to Microsoft Access, and I just started working on a project for a marketing company I work for. I have to build them a pretty straightforward database which has tables including Clients, Contacts, Vendors, Employees, Timesheets, etc. The point is to have any employee be able to work with the database and enter any piece of information they have into it. Again, it's a pretty straightforward database. Right now, I am working on a search form for specific jobs. For example, if they need to design a website for a particular company, that specific website job will be entered into the jobs table. I am working on the search form right now so that they can search for specific jobs and they will come up.
One of the sections of the form is a date range, for date received. For example, this would apply if they wanted to search for all jobs that they received between 1/1/05 and 7/10/05. In the query that I am designing for this form, I have the table entry "Date Received" apply to both of the two boxes in the form (I titled them "What Date Received 1" and "What Date Received 2"... my boss advised me to title the boxes in the search forms "What ___" to not get them confused with the forms displaying the information). In the query, the code I am using right now for Date Received is this:
Between [Forms]![Search Jobs]![What Date Received 1] And [Forms]![Search Jobs]![What Date Received 2]
I've also tried this code:
(Between [Forms]![Search Jobs]![What Date Received 1] And [Forms]![Search Jobs]![What Date Received 2]) Or IsNull([Forms]![Search Jobs]![What Date Received 1]) Or IsNull([Forms]![Search Jobs]![What Date Received 2])
The first code works if I have things entered into these boxes. However, if I try to search and leave these blank, I never get any results. I tried playing around with some "IfEmpty" statements, but none of those worked. The second code doesn't work either. Does anybody know how I should modify this statement so that if the "Date Received" boxes are empty, it just ignores it? Thanks a lot.

Does anyone know how to automatically enter the current date into a specified field by simply clicking on a check box. I imagine the IIf function would work when entered into 'Control Source' but I also need the check box to be linked to the underlying table.
i.e. I tick the 'Paid' checkbox and the current date is automatically entered into the 'Date Sold' field. I also need the -1 generated by clicking on the checkbox to be stored in the table.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, although I am no good with code, so if you could post an example or an easier way to do it I would be most grateful

I need an input mask for a general date field. When I add the date "11/01/2012 10:00:00" it works fine.
When I add an input mask of 00/00/0000 00:00 it then doesn't work.

How does one cause certain data to appear in another field based upon the data entered in another field.
For example: I enter in the field the word "Carrot" in a field called food and the word "Orange" appears in the field color. And then if I enter the word "Beans" in the field food then the word "Green" appears in the field color.
Thanks for you help in advance.

Hi,
I have a two column table and I want to display all records in the second column but I want it to be displayed in another single field.
Anyone has a trick on this?
Example:
Column1 Column2
001 Basket
002 Jar
003 Pillow
004 Hat
Result should be something like this:
Basket, Jar, Pillow, Hat

Somewhat simplistic question, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly.
SELECT Field1, Field2
FROM Table1
WHERE Field1 = [Forms]![Form1]![Text1];
Form has two quieries, named Text0 and Text1. Text0 contains the Field info for the query to search under.
How do I change it so that this will work.
SELECT Field1, Field2
FROM Table1
WHERE [Forms]![Form1]![Text0] = [Forms]![Form1]![Text1];
Presently I am getting nothing but blank queries. I'm sure its some simplistic thing but I can't figure it out atm.

Hey guys im really stuck on this one and hope some one can help me out.
I have the following structure:
Table: Products
ID
Product Name
Table: Suppliers
ID
Supplier Name
Table: Prices
ID
Product Name
Supplier Name
Supplier Offer
Query: QrySuppliers
Prices.ID
Prices.Product Name
Prices.Supplier Name
Prices.Supplier Offer
Percent Off Trade: IIf(IsNull([Products]![Trade Price Euros]),0,([Products]![Trade Price Euros]-Nz([Prices]![Supplier Price],0))/[Products]![Trade Price Euros])
Because the "Percent Off Trade" field is unbound to a table I cant get the data into a report, instead every time I open the report it asks me for Products!Trade Price Euros :(
I've never tried doing complicated calculations in Access and would reallly appreciate any suggestions you guys could give me.
I tried to attatch the database but its 508kb so if anyone has a spare second and wants to check it out heres the link http://www.jeron.co.uk/Products.zip
once again thanks!

My table has 3 fields, Employee Number (text), Job Description (text) and Current (yes/no). The table keeps track of the Job Descriptions that an Employee has had along with his current Job Description (actually Title is more appropriate a word but client requested Description) So the table has records such as:
0001 - Floor Sweeping - no
0001 - Ceiling Cleaning - yes
0001 - Dumpster Turning - no
The yes signifies that that is the current Job Description for employee #0001 and the others with no are previous Job Descriptions that the employee #0001 has held.
Now - I created a form to add these records to the table and on that form I want a list box to show the records in the table for this employee but I want to sort it such that the current Job Description is listed first and the rest show up in alphabetical order following. I have the query to list all of the Description, but how can I get the current one to always appear on the top of the list?

I have a query in which some of the field names were assigned a while back and don't make a lot of sense to the person who gets the report so I give them new labels in the query...for example:
I pull in the field AE_resp_req and in front of that I type in RM Response: AE_resp_req and when I run the query, the name for the field is RM Response and it works great. I have another field called Category_Rating that I pull into this query and I did the same thing: Exam Rating: Category_Rating (field name) but when I run the query it still says Category_Rating and I get no errors or messages..

I have 2 databases with the same structure, but different data.
I want to put all the data in 1 database.
The problem is that the most important table (clients)has an autonumeric id field, that is used to link the records to the fields of many other tables; so, I cannot delete or change that field without losing connections.

Hello,
I need to create a field in an input form that is simply the concatenation of two other text fields. I have tried all sorts of things, but when I look at the data in the table that field.
I have a field called ID that I want to be created like this:
=Format([UniqueID],"00000") & "-" & [Mosque]
This works well in my output fields, but does not work the same way on the input form. It needs to be based on the currently input values from the current record. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
--Robert

I am not a professional programer but would like to do a simple database for my group to track research progress. Is that possible to "pick up a date from drop down calendar" then the date will input to the cell (save in table) in a form, instead of typing it in? I saw that in lots of web sites, but can not figure it out how to do it in Access. Tried "Canendar Contol" and "LANDesk Data control" in the toolbox.
Thank in advance

Hey all,
I have two fields 1 & 2
field 1 is a simple combo list of user defined values ie A, B, C or D
Field 2 relates to a attribute of the data in field 1 and is not always the same for A, B, C and D. i.e
A could have a,b,c,d or e
B could have c,e,f,g or h
C could have a,g,h,i or j
D could have v,w,x,y or z
I would field 2 to have a combo box which only displays a,b,c,d, or e when A is chosen in field 1; c,e,f,g or h when B is chosen; etc
How do I do this?
Cheers all,
Matt :confused:

i am trying to build a marine turbine and parts log and have a problem in satisfying a working rule.
i have 2 tables which i have attached,
table 1 shows the on / off dates that a generator was fitted to a turbine
table 2 shows a general date history of the generator, when it had checks done, fitted, etc
what i would like to do is fit the generator again to another turbine
using a continous form to show the available dates in table 2, i would NOT like to see the dates during the period when the generator was fitted previously as shown in the on / off the dates in table 1.
the working rule being that a generator can not be fitted to 2 different turbines at the same time
can anybody point me in the right direction or assist in how i can overcome this problem
many thanks in advance for help provided

I have used 00/00/00;_ as an input mask for the date. the format of the date is Short Date.
The problem that i am facing is when i type the invalid date 29/02/07 to test whether it rejects it! it accepts the date and automatically changes the date to 07/02/2029 which is wrong. can someone help me sort this problem. any help would be much appreciated.

I have a query that has a date/time field (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss), I have created another field using the following syntax " Sdate: Format([AgentCallDetailInCalls.StartTime],"Short Date") ", I prompt the user for a date using this sdate field I created. The prompt syntax is [Please Enter Start Date]. Currently you have to enter 2/22/2008 (with slashes), I would like to enter 2222008 (without the slashes) to extract the data. The mask I have setup, does nothing. If I put in the date without the slashes, I get nothing, if I put in the slashes, it runs perfectly. Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks in advance for your most knowledgeable response. :confused:

I have a form where the user inputs a date into a combo box and then selects a command button.
There are two options:
1. The user can select an exiting entry (by date from the combo box) to edit a existing entry.
2. to create a new entry they enter a new date (not in the combo box).
Then the user selects a command button.
The command button has an onClick macro where the value in the combo box is checked (IsNull([Combo40]))
If the "IsNull([Combo40])" is true a message box is presented saying the date field is blank.
The problem is (finally) if you enter a new date "3/3/04" and forget to hit the enter key the system doesn't recognize the entry, in other words the "IsNull([Combo40])" evaluates to TRUE.
We currently have the msgBox remind the user to hit the enter key but that seems a little low tech. Is there anyway to look at the field and see the data even though the user forgot to hit the enter key??
Thanks
