I am totally new to Access and this is my first database.
I have a database for volunteers in which one table is basically a calendar. In this table I have fields for the month, day of the week (i.e Monday) and day of the month (i.e 21st). There is also a filed called "Special days"
Sometimes I may want to produce a report that selects only certain days such as Saturday, Sunday and other days marked as "special days". Another time I may also want to produce a report that selects other days.
At the moment I have a "test filed" in which I place a 1 for those days i want to select then I choose all those with a 1. This is obviously a very poor construction.
I would like a command button to print records from a select query displaying dates for the past 2 days but not for todays date. e.g. today is the 29th, I want to print records for the 27th & 28th.
Data is being recorded hourly and kept for 2 months so there will be new and old data that I don't want printed.
(I did serach for past topics, & found one, but the solution pointed to a link that doesn't work; sorry...)
I have a database (well, a half-database at the moment) which is used to book a hall. I want to add a calendar to the bookings form, so users can see what they're doing more easily. This would only be useful, however, if I could grey-out days that have already been filled.
So is there any way I can do this?
(why do my topics here always have a http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif as the icon...?)
I have created a query that prompts the user for a start and an end date and proceeds with showing the data between those dates.
I was wondering if there was anyway that instead of the user typing in the dates, a calendar could pop up and they could pick the start and end dates instead?
If that isn't possible is there anything else that's simpler that I can do? Maybe like a list box for month, date, and year?
I have a database which records time spent on various projects and I would like to be able to calculate the time spent on any particular project between two selected dates. The report and the query behind it already works to display the time accrued on all the dates of a project, but I want to be able to break it down to small ranges of dates
I have a form on which the user selects the start date and the end date. How can I apply this calculated information as a criteria in a query so that I can produce a report with the relevant information on it.
I already have the report and the date selection form designed. The dates selected go into two unbound fields which have a date format.
I have a form and table which I use to collect some reservation information. I then have a subform/table which I use to enter the actual dates of for that reservation. This subform/table has only three fields. The foreign key field that links it to the main form/table, the date(s) entered and the subform/table autonumber primary key.
What I would like to do is use an ActiveX type of calendar as the subform and be able to select a range of dates. If someone is making a reservation for 8 days, I want to be able to select that range of days on the calendar and have create/enter all 8 of those records in the subform/table.
I would much prefer this as opposed to simply collecting a single IN date and a single OUT date.
Before I waste a ton of time trying to do something that just isn't possible, can one of you tell me if the following is possible?
I have a database that I am using for appointments.
Is it possible to have a calendar control on a form that shows all of a person's appointments that occur during the month? For example, Joe has 3 appointments in april. Can I make the calendar show me all three dates (the appointment dates being depressed on the control) that he has appointments on? If so, can you tell me how? I can make it do one date, by making the row source the date scheduled field from the table.
Should I have seven different fields in one record for the appointments that could occur all seven days of the week?
I have created a database to keep track of transcripts that are requested. This database has their names, ID number, date requested(With a pop-up calender), transcript type requested(This is a combobox where the choices are "Official Copy" and "Student Copy") and address.
So far, it works great. What I wish to do is run a report that I can choose the begining date and ending date for a specified month to see the total "Official Copies" and "Student Copies" for a given month.
I am trying to build a form that accepts either a single date for start and stop dates whilst allowing a range of dates to be selected for operations that cover several days. I am using the Access 2003 calendar which is fine for selecting a single date but how do I select several dates (4-7 Mar for example) ?
I have a form bound to a table that has a bunch of dates in it. What I want to do, is to be able to have pop-up calendars on the form next to each date field, where the user can select dates from the calendar, then have those dates display on the form, and last but not least, update the date fields in the table.
At the moment, the form I'm working with let's me pick dates from little pop-ups and display the dates, but when I exit the form and then come back into it, the dates are gone! In other words, I'm missing something in the process between the dates displaying onthe form and the dates getting into my table.
If anyone has an idea as to what I might be doing wrong, I wouldappreciate your ideas and suggestions.
Thanks in advance. I don't know where I'd be without this forum!
Are there no arrays in Access? I am looking for a way to put sequential dates onto a calendar. An array would work fine, with an offset for Weekday(FirstDayOfMonth).
I'm trying to select a range of relevant dates for an amortization calculation (see my earlier thread on this subject here), but I'm having a bit of trouble making the SQL work.
I have a table called "t_AllMonths" that has only one field: MonthStartDate which contains the first day of the month for a very wide range of months over something like a ten-year period. I'm calculating amort for assets which will be amortized for some subset of those months (defined by the asset's Amort Start Date and Amort End Date). Further complicating matters, the amortization may be suspended during certain "hiatus" periods when the asset it not planned to be in use, and may differ by which business units make use of the asset.
Table: t_AmortPeriods Fields: AmortPeriodID, AssetID, Amt_Period_Num (which I don't expect to use in this), StartDate and EndDate
Right now, I'm just trying to pull the range of dates between the earliest amort start date and the latest amort end date. (Min of StartDate and Max of EndDate, respectively) for a given AssetID.
My sql looks like this:
SELECT t_AllMonths.MonthStartDate, Min(t_AmortPeriods.StartDate) AS MinOfStartDate, Max(t_AmortPeriods.EndDate) AS MaxOfEndDate, t_Assets.AssetID FROM t_AllMonths, t_Assets INNER JOIN t_AmortPeriods ON t_Assets.AssetID = t_AmortPeriods.AssetID WHERE ((t_AllMonths.MonthStartDate) Between [MinOfStartDate] and [MaxOfEndDate]);
I keep getting an error message that reads "Run-Time Error 3122: You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression MonthStartDate as part of an aggregate function."
Is there a way to ONLY allow users to select a date starting today or in the future using the DatePicker? I want to disable any past dates on the calendar popup.
The input form of the database have one common table containing data for all parameters for row source. As all data was in one table had one ID. My problem is I am trying to run reports from a form after selecting dates and parameters.
For selecting parameters I created dynamic combo box. For dynamic combo box I needed ID and description of the parameters. So I created separate tables for each parameter with ID and Description column. Which ran me into the problem that when I run report based on main input form which has different row source table and my report form has different row source tables and reports doesn't run when I base my queries on the report form.
I have built a query to calculate the expiry dates of training courses but I am trying to input a criteria so that only dates within 90 days of todays date show. I am using Date()<90 but it doesn't return the correct information. What the criteria should be for this?
I have a table of records, which has within it two date fields (effectively, a 'start' and 'end' date for that particular record)
I now need to create a query to perform a calculation for each date between the 'start' date and the 'end' date
So the first step (as I see it anyway) is to try to create a query which will give me each date between the two reference dates, in the hope that I can then JOIN that onto another query to perform the necessary calculation for each of the returned dates.
Is there a way to do this?
So basically, if for a particular record, the 'start' date is 01-Apr-2015 and the 'end' date is 09-Apr-2015, can I produce a dataset of 9 records as follows :01-Apr-2015
(The *obvious* solution would be to create a separate table of dates, from which I could just SELECT DISTINCT <Date> Between #04/01/2015# And #04/09/2015# - but that seems like a dreadful waste of space, if that table is only required to generate the above? And it would have to cover all possible options; so it would either have to be massive, and contain every possible date - ever! - or maintained, adding new dates as necessary when they are required. Seems horribly inefficient!)
Is it possible to just select each date between the two reference dates? Or can you only query something which exists somewhere in a table?
I have a database with 5000 entries, corresponding to about 10 entries for about 500 people. Each of the entries is dated, and I need to calculate the time intervals between each person's sequential entries in the table.
One way of doing this is to create another column that contains the date of the previous entry. I can then use DateDiff to subtract one date from the other and give me the difference in days.
This approach falls down if I then work with only a subset of the entries - I would have to re-enter the previous entry dates as the time intervals would have changed.
What I really need is a way of subtracting the date from the date in the cell directly above it. Will Access let me do this, or is there a better way?
I have two tables with dates. Between (!) every two following dates in table1, I want to know the number of dates in table2. How do I write an SQL query for this? The tables I have are up to a few hundred records in table 1 and a few thousand records in table2. So to prevent that this takes hours I need a fast query.
To explain the query I need, for example: table1 01/01/2014 15/01/2014 17/01/2014 30/01/2014
Explanation: Between 01/01/2014 and 15/01/2014 in table 1 there are 2 dates in table2 (01/01/2014 is not included between the dates) Between 15/01/2014 and 17/01/2014 in table 1 there are 0 dates in table 2 Between 17/01/2014 and 30/01/2014 in table 1 there are 4 dates in table 2
I have a master table which shows all transactions per record (person) over a financial year.
Each record person has a seperate package period over which their spend needs to be measured. Therefore although I have all their transactions for the year, I only want to sum their transactions between their given [start date] and [end date] which are in columns.
I need to be able to create a field which sums all expenditure per record between the start and end dates
Name Start Date End Date Invoice Date Amount
Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 1/11/11 £100 Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 7/7/11 £200 Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 12/12/11 £200
In this case I would only want to sum 7/7/11 as this is between the start and end dates
I want to write something like sumif([Invoice Date] is between [start date] and [end date] - not sure where or how exactly
(The start date and end date will always be the same per person)
Please bear with me here as it's a little involved.
I'm doing a staff profile website which includes a section where they can enter their annual/other leave details.
I decided to store their leave in two fields Start_Date | End_Date rather than each individual date that they took - the short and wide approach vs long and narrow.
This has left me needing to do a query that would return all the dates between the start and end dates inclusive.
I appreciate i could do this using some script to loop through a recordset and build an array of dates but i wondered/hoped that it could be done using SQL.
As it is an asp page i can't use user defined functions in a VBA module in Access so the solution would need to be pure SQL.
I have a scenario where the first three rows of date which have dates of 4/1, 4/4/ 4/6 with ndc 5513026701; next six rows that have dates from 4/8 to 4/20 with ndc 5513014801; next three rows that have dates from 4/25, 4/27, 4/29 with ndc 5513026701.
The issue I am having is I do not know how to have separate min/max dates for ndc 5513026701 since when I group by ndc 5513026701 min = 4/1 ; max = 4/29. I need to have min = 4/1 and max = 4/6 for one row and another row of min = 4/25 and max = 4/29.
Any easy way to sequentially create min/max for each ndc 5513026701? I wasn't sure how to verbalize this so I have attached a sample worksheet.....
I'm not sure if I am biting off more than I can chew. I have a text field in each record in my database (Inherited) The db has nearly 5,000 records. I would like to split the field into records in a seperate table. An Example of the table as is now;
Is this possible in one hit or do I need to process the records without dates first and then run another process to split those with Dates? I say dates but the field is a text field. About 15-20% of the records contain dates which are always enclosed in parenthesis.
