On one of my forms two of the fields are "Date Contact Initiated" and "Date Contact Concluded". I have the property for this field set to Short Date.
These two fields autofill with the current date when the form is opened. When the date for both of these fields is the same there is no problem. When the "Date Contact Initiated" is different from the "Date Contact Concluded", the user has to manually go to the "Date Contact Initiated" and change the date ( most often to the previous day.)
What is causing some confusion is that when they go to the "Date Contact Initiated" field to change the information it displays not only the autofilled date but also the autofilled time. There is another field on the form where the time for the contact initiated is to be entered.
Is there a way to format this date field to only show the autofilled date and not the autofilled time?
I want to be able to set text boxes so that if one enters a date and a time it displays in the format "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm", but if one just enters a date is displays in the format "dd/mm/yyyy". Is this possible?
Stipulating "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" means that when you just enter a date it adds "0" values for the time e.g. entering "21/6/13" gives "21/06/2013 00:00".
General Date allows for an optional time, but it means that when you do enter a time it gives you seconds as well "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" - and I don't want that.
Hi folks - I saw a thread last week re how to extract the year from the date field possibly using date serial but can't find it can anyone help - it is probably very simple but i can't get it to work.

I have some project run on MS-Access as front-end with database linked to MS-SQL Server. I have some column of table contain Date-Time data that store data as General Date format (ie 01/01/2005 08:00:00). I create some form for my staff to key in a data of lab test that they will be key in only time with out date value. On form, I show this value as time only too. But I want to use this data with Date value for some calculate as backgroud process.
So...
In case of new data, Database will be store my data as CurrentDate with Time that my staff key in.
In case of data update, Database will be store my data as ExistDate with Time that my staff may update.

In a form (bounded to this table) I have, of course, 2 controls bounded to this fields:
txtD1 and txtD2
If the user change the value in txtD1 (using the Date picker) I like to change the DefaultValue for txtD1 to the new date and the DefaultValue for txtD2 to the new date + 1 day. Something like this:
Code: Private Sub txtD1_AfterUpdate() Me.txtD1.DefaultValue = Me.txtD1 Me.txtD2.DefaultValue = Me.txtD1 + 1 day End Sub
I tried whatever crossed my mind... with the same "result" : #Name?
My Regional settings:
Short date format: dd.MM.yyyy Date separator: Dot Simple: 05.12.2013
I am creating an online post, similar to a guestbook. When a user submits an entry, I am storing the date and time in a column titled "Timestamp", which is formatted 8/4/2005 9:16:58 ("General Date"). I am running the table through a query which is then posted on the web.
What I would like to do is this: I would like to use Timestamp to display the date that the entry was submitted, but not the time (basically, "Short Date"). Can I exclude the time using a query without changing the actual data stored in each record of the table? I understand that the time stored is completely different than the time displayed, even in the table. How can I do this?
I have a query where one field is Date:Now() so that todays date is forced in. However, it is giving me the date and time. I only want the short date, how do I achieve this???
Hi im having issues runing a query on a short date field in my works database calls [Date Logged] I am actually running the query from PHP/ODBC but have tryed running it in acess also..
I am using this query: SELECT * FROM Maintenance_Dbf WHERE [Date Logged] = #$date# ORDER BY Maintenance_ID ASC
Where $date is i have replaced with all of the following date types..
2007-05-21 2007-21-05 21-05-2007 05-21-2007
07-05-21 07-05-21 21-05-07 05-21-07
2007/05/21 2007/21/05 21/05/2007 05/21/2007
07/05/21 07/05/21 21/05/07 05/21/07
yet i cant get any results returned..
Here is an example date from RAW tables 26/04/2007 12:25:33
Any idea's? even the query builder in access doesn't pull up any records :S
I have a huge problem!!!! Access seems to be picking up settings from somewhere which means that the Short date = mm/dd/yyyy and not dd/mm/yyy as set in the regional Settings!
I have a totals query that displays the sum of what products we ship each day. A process in the system automatically assigns the date/time to a ShippingDate field when an item is marked as despatched.
The totals query allows users to view what products are shipped between a period specified by the user.
The problem I am getting is that when the user inputs dates into fields [txtStart] and [txtEnd], the query fires up but will not display any records as a start time 00:00:00 and end time 23:59:59 was not input.
I don't want users to have to do this but cannot think of a way around it. My criteria code in the query for the shipping dates is
Code: Between [Forms]![Switchboard]![txtStart] And [Forms]![Switchboard]![txtEnd]
Can I append the start / end time onto the code above somehow or is there another method I can utilise that is probably so glaringly obvious I have missed.
Usually a query allows me manipulate a field property sheet but in this case there is nothing obvious to select like format.
I have a table called Packages, in this table I have multiple fields with just short dates example of fields (ID), (Home_1), (Home_2), (Home_3) and (Home_4). What I was wondering is there a way to comine all of the Home fields into one for the purpose of counting the number of dates for all the records. Total number of dates of all the Home fields? I am using Access 2010
I think my subject heading explains it. How would you add or subtract two short time formatted values and produce a short time value? Also, how would you change a short time value into number minutes. (i.e. 5:30 into 330) Thanks!
I have a numeric field (long integer) in a table. I've set the format to fixed. No matter what I set the decimal places to, auto, 0 or 2, when I enter a value of 0.71, it displays as 1.00
In my form, I've also set the field property to fixed, but it displays the value as 1.
I would like to change the property of a text box to Visible and Required when a user chooses a specific value in a drop down box of a different text box. Is this possible using a macro or some other way?
I have a split database with a frontend that I semi-regularly update (when one of my users finds a bug I never would have thought for looking for). On my menu screen i have a text box that says: "Last Updated: ##/##/####".
At the moment I manually update the date every time I update the frontend.
Is there a way I can use the DateModifed property of the .mdb file for the frontend as the date in my textbox using VBA?
I have a table named: tblStudents I have a fields named Course and Basic Code Enforcement
Within the properties for Basic Code Enforcement, I have this as a Lookup row source:
SELECT IIf([Course]="Residential Inspector Multi-Discipline",1,"") AS Expr1 FROM tblStudents;
It is also set as Listbox, Table/Query
The main goal is to have the field RBasic Code Enforcemente show a 1 if the Course field is Residential Inspector Multi-Discipline. I have been at this all morning and I can not figure this out.
We use access to enter our service tickets in at work.What we have are three date fields.
Call Date Start Date End Date
We are 24/7 operation.Currently all 3 just autopopulate with the current date.What i would like to do is ADD a CHECKBOX next to each Date Field.And make it work like this.
1. let them autopopulate as they are currently 2. if you end the call AFTER MIDNIGHT (the next day). CHECKING the box would automatically populate yesterdays date in each of the fields that has the check box CHECKED
We just upgraded to Access 2003 and I am creating a new database and in my Form... I was trying to set the REQUIRED FIELD PROPERTY to YES, but when I click the Properties of each field, it's not listed.

My access db is used to compile payroll time records bi weekly. The Work Hours table is used to hold two weeks of time records then they are archived to a history table. Each week has its own week ending date. I have been updating the default value of the week ending manually in the table field property in the table's design view. Is there a way to have a macro update this default value?
The current process is, open table in design view, update week ending default value, enter payroll time then change default value again for second week ending, enter payroll time. Report hours to accountant, archive table to history table.
