Saving Date Format In Tables
Feb 4, 2008
Embarrasing question, but my serches have proved fruitless.
Saving a Date field (Short Date) is saving as 1/02/2008 or 27/02/2008 in the table. Formatting this data in a query as dd/mm/yyyy displays correctly, but the mid function mid([Date],4,2) still picks up the table format, not the query format
My objective is to extract the 02 (month) using the mid function in a query. Beacuase the length of the day component varies from 1 to 2 characters, this is proving impossible
Is there a way to save the date as 02/02/2008 in the table?
Tried using input mask dd/mm/yyyy but kept getting invalid format error
Any help appreciated

Hi,
I'm using a web based form to store dates (and other records) in an access database. I use the dd/mm/yyyy date format (europe. go figure)
Anyway, the problem is that when submitting an ambiguous date, as in 11/01/2004, access sees it as 01-NOV-2004 rather then 11-JAN-2004, as it should.
Why does this happen, and how can I fix it. I have no problem doing the fixing in the access file itself or in the SQL command that populates it- whatever works best.
Thanks,
-Ethan

I have a table that has a date format DD/MM/YYYY this is good for some records that the date is known, however some records are more generic and the format is MM/YYYY, is it possible to be able to type both formats in the table (and consequently in the form)?

I have a linked database that stores date values as YYMM in text format. I have no control over how that information is kept. I cant seem to find a way to convert YYMM text to date format. Additionally I would like to add the last day of the respective month to that data.

I am building a database using data imported from Excel workbooks. The dates in the workbooks are formatted as text in the YYYYMMDD format. Is there a way to convert this into date format during the import or after? I am pulling in a lot of different workbooks and trying to avoid having to reformat each individual workbook prior to importing them.

I have a table which will contain project information, and want the ID field, which auto assigns a unique number to each record, to be formatted like this P12-001, where 12 = the last two digits of the year the record was created. I know that if I type into the format field "P"00"-"000 i get the ID number in the format I want, but cannot figure how to get the first two zeros, to be the date format.
Further, I would like the ID numbers to restart from 1 each year, so this year this first project, P12-001 and may run through to P12-063, then the first project I enter next year to start P13-001.

I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?

I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.

I have a built a database to record and collate info about clinical trials that are run within my department. I have one large table [Trial Info] which contains all trial info and have created a second and third table [Milestones] & [Comments] to collect dates of various milestones and a notes that occur throughout the course of a study.
The milestones (dates) are recorded in the 2nd table and the comments are recorded in the 3rd table.
All data is entered by staff on forms. The first form captures basic info about the study, once this has been entered, the idea is to click a button to open the second form to document the trial milestones, this form also contains a subform for listing any free text comments required during the life of the study which are stored in the 3rd table.
I have setup the relationships between tables as best I can.
The main table with basic trial info is the parent table, linking the primary key to the foreign key in the second table, the foreign key of the third table is related to the primary key in the second table so these tables should be looking up the correct clinical trial as far as I can tell.
The form containing data from the main table has a button which I have set to open the Milestones & Comments form, and I have set this to open to the record that relates to the record in view in the primary form. The primary key is related to the foreign look-up key in the milestones table.
This opens the form fine, however this is not updating the foreign look-up key, this remains '0' which I assume is the cause of the following error when I try to save changes to the record
Quote:
You cannot add or change a record because a related record is require in table 'Trial Info'
How do I trigger the foreign key to update to the primary key so that the first time a milestone page is opened for a new study it creates a matching record?

Using access 2010; i have a form that includes a date field. Is there a way to force the user to only choose a month end date? When the user clicks the date from the popup, they may use 9/1/2013 when the mgr. want them to use only 8/31/2013. I am thinking validation field to put a msg but want to be able to force it not the option.

I have a scheduling database that requires keeping track of events on a 24 hour basis. I need to keep track of all the events through out the day by date and time. I want the user to only have to enter the time instead of entering a date and time. What is the best way to allow the user to enter only a time, but when the time is saved to the database, it’s saved as a date and time using the current date? I’ve tried using the date add function but that doesn’t work. Does anybody have any ideas.

I have a date and time stamp in a Date/Time field of General Date format (3/1/2006 7:52:25 AM).
I wish to select query on the table's Date/Time field by date portion only (3/1/2006) and not include the time portion (7:52:25 AM) of the field.
Using this expression in the query's criteria - "Between [Enter Start Date: (MM/DD/YY Format)] And [End Date: (MM/DD/YY]" will not return the date ranges as desired without also typing in the full time string.
How can the date integer be parsed out and the query properly expression ed on the criteria field without using VB?

On my report, I want rows with expired dates to stand out by having their borders thicker. Something like:
Code:
If Me.txtDate < Date() Then
Me.txtDate.BorderWidth = 6
End If
When I do that, it ends up formatting every txtDate field in the report if one of them passes the If criteria instead of only ones that are expired.

I'd like to have a button on my dashboard that gives the user the ability to back up the database and save it with a different date. For example, existing database called "Fishing.accdb" and I'd like to have code behind a button that allows the database to be saved as "Fishing0711.accdb"
I'm trying to avoid the user having to go into the File Save as menu system....I've tried the docmd.copyObject method but can't get it to work

I am trying to make a database for a shop which can do several things:
1) I want to give in what is being bought by the shop to make their products form. This has to be saved in a table named STOCK.
2) I want to be able if I say in a form that from these things I made that product that these things dissapear from the STOCK table and that the final product is added to the STOCK.
3) If the final product is solled I want to remove it from stock.
In the end if I want to see what is still in the stock I will only have the things that are still there because the rest is removed.
How can I do this??
Thanks for your answer

Hi ppl,
Anyone who thinks that they may be able to help me, there is a copy of the database at :
http://members.iinet.net.au/~a.beardsley/database/StaffProLearning.mdb
Here is my problem, as you will see. In the from called frmStaff, I have created 2 lookup tables that work fine in the main form. In the subform under activites though, I have attempted to create a lookup form for Name and Location of activities. It does not appear to be storing the information from previous entries though. My aim is so that when someone goes to enter a new activity name or location, the data will be saved and be in the list for the lookup next time with a different entry, however, it does not appear to be storing the information in the appropriate table. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Regards,

Hello,
I have a form with only 2 fields. One field is a drop down (Yes, No, N/A). The other field reads the first field and then assigns a value using an IIF statement (If No, then 0, otherwise 1).
I want to run a query on this data, but when I do, the 2nd field's result doesn't appear in the query (nor the main table).
How do I save/record the result from the 2nd field in the form to the table?

I have a query that reports the number of students that are currently enrolled in a given number of schools within an area for that given day that the query is ran. This number can fluctuate greatly day to day, so is there a way to create a table which can hold this information so that I can go back in history and look up what our numbers were on whatever given day (date). (The example below is just a representation of what I actually have.) The School number would be unique, as would the date (I assume), I would like to see all of our school on whatever given date to see what our numbers are or were.
I have an example of the query currently I have set up in access 2007:
School # School Name Qty Date
001 BLUE 300 02/26/2014
002 RED 468 02/26/2014
003 YELLOW 10 02/26/2014
VS
School # School Name Qty Date
001 BLUE 310 02/27/2014
002 RED 400 02/27/2014
003 YELLOW 8 02/27/2014

What I'm trying to do is create a database system for my company, it's not overally complex in the sense it's just managing the estimates and invoices we do.
[Tables]
SalesPersonID
Clients
AccountTerms
Estimate
Invoice
WorkSheet
Now I've tried to break the data down as sensibly as possible.
What i'm having trouble with is I have created a autofill combo box to fill out text boxes with information from the Clients table, the idea is that the client can be added via the Estimate form or pulled up from the record depending on the situation. Now the problem I have is one;
I cannot enter data via the form
and two
When you flick through the forms only the combobox information is staying put, either the text field is empty or incorrect.
I'm pretty it's to do with [Data Source] but I can't seem to get it to work. How to make it possible to pull up clients when typing an estimate OR be able to add a new client via the same fields. Secondly, when the Form is review the autofill text field display the clients details.

Access 2003. I am trying to save a calculated field (Item No) from a form to the accosiated field within the Products table
I have a hidden text box (itemNo) which is bound to the relevant field and a second text box with the following formula
="TV-" & Left(CatShort.column(1),3) & "-" & Format([ProductID],"0000") as its source
What I am trying to do is to provide an item number for each item of stock based on the Category short name (Catshort) and the incremented item ID Number, with a TV prefix.
I am aware that its a bad itea to place calculated field into the table if the calculation is likely to change, however once my calculation is stored it has no need to change.
I have tried the beforeUpdate method within the ItemNo textbox
Private Sub ItemNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me!ItemNo = Me!ItemCalc
End Sub
but nothing happens (in that the table is not updated)
Any way of putting together an incremental item number based on the selected category with a "TV" prefix....
