I'm using MS Access 2002 and I'm trying to create a prompt for a date and then enter that date into the body of the letter.
Also can the date format be short and converted into a long format on the letter.
Example:
Prompt - Enter Date
Date entered = 12/31/2013
Sample Letter:
Your subscription ends on December 31, 2013 if you would like to renew etc.....
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have set up a report which prompts the user for a start and end date. However, if they want to run it for a full month they enter eg. 01/07/07 and 1/07/07 - this will not include entries ending on 31/07/07.
Is there a way I can change the criteria prompt so that it read both dates entered as inclusive in the query. I am currently using
Between [enter earliest date:] and [enter latest date:]
I have a field that is giving me the number of business days between a period of time and then I want to subtract that number - the person's PTO time to see the actual days they were available...when I simply type the number in (see below) it works great but I want to set up a prompt that will ask me how many PTO Days to calculate as it will be different for each person I am quering...is this possible?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a form letter in Access 2002 and the letter is completed but I want to change the formatting from align left to justify but can't find a way to do this. The detail section contains 2 label boxes and 1 text box.
View 9 Replies View RelatedRight now I have this in the query criteria row:
>=[Enter Start Date:] And <=[Enter End Date:]
This makes two prompts pop up one at a time. I was wondering if there was a way to combine both start and end date boxes in one prompt so I can see what dates I decide to type side by side. Is this possible?
Ok, so now this is where it's getting more complicated... (though I guess this is where you guys usually start)
When you have a query, and you type in your inputbox thingy like so:
http://reenen.fateback.com/image.jpg
PeriodEnd: [Enter period end date dd/mm/yyyy: ]
And you can have multiple, then it will prompt you for several of them.
Now this is not very tidy, so I'd rather do it on a form. How can I display the form as the query/report runs, and insert the values entered into the form as the inputs into my variables? (This case PeriodEnd)

Grrr... I can't get the image to display.
I have a report that is created from the following query (qryTotalProjectHours). What I am trying to do is get the total hours spent on Tasks within a given time period.
Code:
SELECT TasksEntries.Project, TasksEntries.Task, Sum(TimeTracker.WorkHours) AS TotalHours
FROM TasksEntries INNER JOIN TimeTracker
ON (TasksEntries.EmployeeId = TimeTracker.EmployeeId) AND (TasksEntries.TaskID = TimeTracker.TaskId)
GROUP BY TasksEntries.Project, TasksEntries.Task;
I accept the start and end dates in a form and pass it like shown below. WorkDate is a column in the TimeTracker table and is not present in any other table.
Code:
strWhere = "WorkDate BETWEEN #" & txtMgrRptStartDate & "# AND #" & txtMgrRptEndDate & "#"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptTotalProjectHours", acViewPreview, "qryTotalProjectHours", strWhere, acWindowNormal
When the report is invoked, I get a box where it says
"Enter parameter value" for Workdate..
Is there anyway I can get rid of the prompt? I never thought you needed the column name in the SELECT statement to be able to run this.I should add the I tried the query with the WorkDate hardcoded in there and it worked fine and returned the correct results
The code below successfully saves a .pdf file to my c: drive. However, on occasion i want to overwrite a previously saved invoice e.g. 3815-140515-Bristol with an amended invoice but retain the same Invoice Number e.g. 3815-150515-Bristol.
Currently, if i save the invoice with the same invoice number but a different date it just saves down without overwriting the original invoice. Leaving 2 invoices with the same invoice numbers but with 2 different dates.
What I want to achieve is: Once I hit the SaveInvoice button the code will check that invoice Nr 3815 does not exist in c: drive and save normally. However, if it does exist a msgbox will then prompt me to overwrite.
Current code:
Private Sub SaveInvoice_Click()
'Save Invoice as PDF and annotate invoice number, site name, and date
Dim slFileName As String
' create the invoice as a pdf
slFileName = Me.txtInvoiceNr.Value & "-" & Format(Date, "ddmmyy") & "-" & Me.SiteName.Value & ".pdf"
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptinvoice", acFormatPDF, ("c:CompanyName InvoicesRegular Invoices" & slFileName)
MsgBox "Your Invoice was successfully Saved"
All, using access 2010. I am working with an existing database that have a letter programmed using fields in a query. I have to add to it but having a trouble. Merge in Word was not used. I can't find any examples. The letter is designed in a report design. Using the fields from a query and filtered by "IIF Statements".
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a need to prompt a user for a date, When they enter that date the qry should do as follows.
if rec_date <= (DATE PROMPTED FOR) and rel_date is > (DATE PROMPTED FOR) ,
then
return Qty and a few other fields....
No the DATE PROMPTED FOR is not a field in the table.
Do I need it to be?
I have looked but have been unable to find the answer in past posts and this must be a common problem. I wish to include all records up to and including a date passed in the prompt "Criteria: <=[enter end date]". I changes the date format in the back end to short and I am in the US. However I get only dates less then the the prompted date.
Thanks for any help

I have a field that is a Date Time field (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss) and I would like to prompt the user for a begining date range and ending date range. I know how to prompt the user, but I would like for them to only key in the Date portion and not the time. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to handle this? Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table of data going back to 2007 that needs to be looked at on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis. I am able to filter the data when running a normal query by using
Between [Start Date] and [End Date]
in the Criteria section of the Date field. I now need to apply this same idea to a crosstab query. My current set up is:
[Gender]- Group By / Row Heading
[Plan Type]- Group By / Column Heading
[Pmt Amt]- Sum / Value
[Date]- Where / Criteria = Between [Start Date] and [End Date]
I am getting an error message that says:"The Microsoft Office Access database engine does not recognize '[Start Date]' as a valid field name or expression."Am I setting something up incorrectly or is it impossible to use input prompts in a crosstab query like this?
Hi,
I'm designing a database in which the primary key is a combination of the first letter of first name, the first letter of last name and the date of birth.
How can I do that?

I'm trying to create a report for how many "nasty grams" (rejection notices) my company has sent to people who keep sending in paper forms when they are supposed to file electronically.Every letter that goes out has information recorded based on whatever they sent to us - so the only remotely reliable way to count how many each person received is by the address on the envelope (people use different names, different business names, use different telephone numbers on the forms, etc).
I just built several queries that feed into a report that gets sent to my boss on a monthly basis to show the people who've sent in more than one paper form and have received our rejection notices more than once.I'm not the greatest at SQL, but I've been trying to find a way to use DISTINCT Addresses, leave all other fields the same (not DISTINCT), to:
1. Only return people who have received 2 or more letters
2. If at least one of the letters was sent more than 90 days ago
AND If at least one of the letters was within the last 90 days
-If at least one was within the last 90 days, only display the most recent send date of the letter (lots of people get back-to-back letters).
3. Display their names, addresses, telephone numbers, the date of the most recent letter sent, count of the total letters ever sent to that person. (the report will already do this, just need Max date)
My first query counts the number of times each address appears in the main table and simply only has [Address] and [CountofAddress]
My second query has the [Name], the [LetterDated] >=Now()-90, and the qryCountofAddress is linked to the main table by [Address], using [Countof Address] >=2...I have tried Selecting Unique Values in the Properties tab. Yes, I have tried INNER JOIN (but can't get the rest of my fields to display once I make addresses distinct).
I am creating a database that people can upload links to pictures within the database. (I do not want them to upload the pictures themselves because I am afraid the data will get to large - or am I misunderstanding how pictures are added to a database in access?) Now I want to be able to put those pictures in some reports.
Questions:
1) is it possible to insert a picture from a link (instead of an attached picture)?
2) If not would it work if I uploaded the picture to the database?
3) Am I incorrect about the way access deals with uploaded pictures? Does it just save a link or does it actually upload a picture into the database making it that much larger?
ok here is what i want.. imagine a search box, just an empty text box that allows the user to type things into it...
there will be a simple table from the database behind it, here is the typical structure of a record
<Country>Poland
<Price1>60
<Price2>85
<Price3>95
in this table there will be say a 1000 of these records...
my user is going to have to quickly search through these records while on the phone to a customer, and quote one of the relevant prices associated with that country
what i would like is this most convenient system..
as the user types in the letter 'P' just below all the records with countries that begin with 'P' are displayed (with a scroll down arrow if needed)..as well as the 3 relevant prices with that record
if they then type an 'O' into the box (which will now hold 'Po') all the records with countries beginin with 'Po' will be displayed (eg Poland)
if they delete the 'o'. once again the displayed records below the box will return to just the countries begginin with 'p'
all that is needed is for the records to be displayed, thats it.. but the adding and deleting of the letters within the text search box will need to instantly manipulate this list..
i have posted on other forums, and have been told this can be acheived in access, is it hard?
I have a report in which a textbox generates numerical values and letter values. I want to...On report load - if textbox = numbers then hide otherwise show if it contains letter values.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI can not get a line graph inserted into a report by using the Wizard. I have 2 columns of paired data that I want to graph. I dragged the 2 columns to the "Data" control in the wizard and changed summarizing for both columns from "sum" to "none".
When I look at the report in Print Preview, the data points are stacked vertically in the center of the graph and the "Series" box displays what looks like the data. If I add a Date/Time column as the X-axis, I am told that I have to summarize the data, something I don't want to do.
I've made various selections using the wizard and all fail.
I have a report, which is based on query that links various table.
There is also a form, which starts when the report opens, which has dual function: 1.) user selects criteria to filter out only particular customer but 2.) is for user to add some new data that are not available in query/linked tables.
I need to be able to create now a command button that would add all records from the report to for example 'Report Table'. My report has a tabular form but I have also lots of text-boxes in Report Header that would need to be added too.
