Hi
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.
Thanks - Rob
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?
Thanks,
Hi
I'm using the activeX control Date and Time Picker which work fine. I'm having trouble though to set the MaxDate and MinDate from VBA.
For instance me.DateTimepicker12.MaxDate="01.01.2008" returns an error 'Invalid date......'.
I have tried many different formats for the date, but not the right one.
Is there someone who can shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance

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.
any ideas are appreciated.
Hi All,
I know there are several examples of calendar date and time pickers about so I thought I would offer mine up for critique.
No modules, very little code, code used is simple and can be called from subforms as well as forms.
I used these forms in an application where the users find filling in date and times in the correct format difficult with limited keyboard skills.
If it can be improved let me know..... :)

PS I think the contributions Banana has been making to this forum are invaluable.
Keep up the good work.
How do I change the ms date/time picker control 6 to have a default null
value?
I can make the DATE picker work, but I need to add the TIME to the same picker. At least that would be preferred.

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.

Hi
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?
thanks,
sam
I have a repairs db that records [serial number] and [date in for repair], and other info.
I've been asked to make a report to summarize the number of units [serial number] that come back for repair by time interval between [ship date] and the first [date in for repair].
the [serial number] and [ship date] are in a linked excel file table which contains unique [serial number] entries.
The [serial number] and [date in for repair] are in the access table, there may be multiple [serial number]s entered with different [date in for repair] as in repaired multiple times.
1st query: I want to list all the [serial numbers] in the access table with only the earliest [date in for repair] returned.
2nd query: then I need to compare the 1st query results list of [serial numbers] and [date in for repair]to the excel table list of [serial numbers] and [ship dates],
I've found the =DateDiff('d'[ship date],[date in for repair])
I haven't done a query with two data sources before and not sure how to go about getting the DateDiff for each serial number
Once I get results from the DateDiff, for each serial number, I am comfortable handling the Sum(IIf statements to summarize the results and do the serial number range select criteria in the form.
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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe 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'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?
I must be missing something obvious.
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?
Well this is bizzare,
I am using the microsoft date picker in my form. I have made it non editable (i.e. editable=false) when the form loads.
I am making it editable on the click of a button... Seems all so simple huh..
But my problem is that when I click the button, the date picker is displaced at the top of the form..
when I move the slide bar of the form, it again comes back to its original position..
Can anyone explain this?? and how to make it simple?
Hi All,
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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Date field on frmMember called [MemberSince]. Property Sheet says "Show Date Picker = For Dates."
Why does it not bring up the date picker when editing the field?
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?
I've got the data type set to Time/Date and the Properties of the date picker set to, 'Yes, for Dates' but it still doesn't appear in my table column.
How do you add it to a form? (Access 2007)
I changed this text box format to General Date but I do not have the date picker icon when I click on the text box. I also noticed that for this text box in the property sheet, it does not even have the date picker option listed. I am trying to do this in a report header.
