Hi All, I have a table with field Trailer Left Date & Time as the "Primary key" which has General date as a format. Is it possible to have a short cut in such a way that I just enter time, but the table takes todays date and the time I provided as a record???
Thanks,
Naveen
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.
Hello again,
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!

My co-worker lost her Office short cut bar on her desktop.
Can someone please tell me how to get it back. I for the life of me can't remember, and my stipid li'l cat isnt' being very helpful right now..*tosses cat out window* I to think, I prefer cats over dogs.
Perhaps the stupid paperclip might be better. :D
Anyways, thanks in advance

It is my first try at a access blank database. I have been ok so far but ran into this problem. All I want to do is add a sortcut on my desktop to open it to the database to the form I made BUT it opens up but i have to push on the name of the form to open up that form. I know there is a way to do it BUT can not figure it out . I do not need a switch board as the is only one form and that is not in my knowedge base It is like a custom
made directory

Is there a way to assign some short cut controls that will insert certain text into the field the cursor is in? For example, is there a way to assign "No mustard" to Alt-M?

If i use this on a medium date field it will work fine??

I'm trying to refine another of my time entries. To enter a Short time (eg 10:35), I have to type in the four digits AND the semi-colon in the middle.
I would like to be able to enter only the four digits with Access making it into the correct format.
I have achieved a similar effect in Excel using code like
TimeVal = Left(Value, 2) & ":" & Right(Value, 2)
I tried writing something similar in the Before_Update Event, but it was rejected!! Any ideas? - Thanks, Andrew.
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???
Thanks!

I have a field defined as Date/Time Short Date which shows values like 8/01/2006, 8/10/2006, etc and I need to select dates in a range.
However, when I write a query with code like:
SELECT AMOUNT
FROM INVOICE_TBL
WHERE PICK_UP_DATE BETWEEN 08/01/2006 AND 08/31/2006
It doesn't pick up the records I also tried >= <= with the same results.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
Hi Folks,
This may not be an Access problem per se, and if not, I appologize in advance.
I have a FE/BE split database with multiple users. I have found out how to add a command line switch to the shortcuts (the shortcut must go to the application first for any switches to work) which opens the database front end nicely. Problem is, I can't get it to connect to the appropriate WIF.
I have tried copying the text from "Microsoft Access Inside Out" which didn't work as it has "/wrkgroup" rather than "/wrkgrp". My set up wouldn't accept that.
Anyway I'm half way there but stuck now. I don't get any error messages when I use the shortcuts but Access stays joined to whatever WIF it was connected to the last time it was running.
I have searched this site but couldn't find anything regarding this specific problem, in the recent past at least.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I have copied the details from the 2 shortcuts below. The first is to my database and the networked WIF, the second to Access to return the desktop PC to the default WIF. I have also added the Access version number and operating system version numbers.
This is the shortcut to my database with the workgroup switch set to the WIF created for this database:
Target:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" "C:EDT DBWC-ED0023001R0.02a-fe.mdb" /wrkgrp "K:EDT FOLDEREDT DBED.00.23.001_WIF.mdw"
Start In:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11"
Network Drive WIF Path:
K:EDT FOLDEREDT DBED.00.23.001_WIF.mdw
This shortcut is supposed to restore Access to the default WIF on the desktop PC:
Target:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "C:Documents and SettingsQPUserApplication DataMicrosoftAccessSystem.mdw"
Start In:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11"
Desktop WIF Path:
C:Documents and SettingsQPUserApplication DataMicrosoftAccessSystem.mdw
Access path:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11Access.exe
Access Version:
2003 (11.6355.6408) SP1
Environment:
OS NameMicrosoft Windows XP Professional
Version5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Build 2600
Thanks in advance,
Keith.

This must have been answered before, but I can't find it by searching so sorry for the dumb question.
I input a time in hours and minutes in a field with a Short Time format. I would like then to convert this to seconds in a field with a number format so that I can total the seconds and then add them to the results of a calculated DateDiff control to get the grand total of time spent on a project.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Rob
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?
Thanks for the help!
Chris :)
Hi,
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!
Does anyone have any ideas why?!?!

I am trying to add hours entered in a short time format. For example 08:15 or 02:55. I also would like it to give a total number of hours beyond 23:00. Here is a table with a Name Column and Hours Column
Name Hours
BETTER,HEATHER 8:00
BETTER,HEATHER 8:00
BETTER,HEATHER 5:41
BETTER,HEATHER 2:35
BETTER,HEATHER 1:15
WILLIAMS,R 2:30
WILLIAMS,R 0:45
WILLIAMS,R 11:20
WILLIAMS,R 8:25
WILLIAMS,R 8:15
WILLIAMS,R 10:20
How do I
A) write a query to add up the hours. I believe Heather would total 25:31 Hours.
B) Show this same total in a report? In my report I had a Name Footer which showed "=Sum([hours])". Will this work once the query is right or will I use the "=Sum([totaltime])"?
Also, is it possible for you to respond in a SQL statement so that I can copy? Thanks.
i have a problem i have field contains (minutes as number) like 5750 i want to convert thes minutes to short time hh :nn to be 95:50

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that requires 260 fields for a specific reason. Is there any way to bypass the max number of fields allowed in a table?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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've set up a query to calculate the difference between 2 time fields. I set the property to short time.
The thing is - when I run the query in a Select query, the times in the column which contains the difference, appear correctly : ie hh:mm, but when I run the same query in as a make table query, the time difference field (although I have set the property to short time) appear something like this:
0.664464564646
Can somebody please tell me how to make it that the time difference results field in my make table query appears as hh:mm??
Thanks in advance - nelld
Most my short text fields on my form are normal, but some have scroll buttons like a memo box and it's annoying, especially because the user can't jump to the next field by pressing return.
How do I make them normal?
I have two fields that are in short time format, and are saving the information to the table in short time format.
I then have a field that I have set to auto-fill under the chosen circumstances, with a text roughly as follows
Code:
Dim Story As String
Dim IDepTime
DimADepTime
IDepTime = [InstructedDeparture]
ADepTime = [ActualDeparture]
Story = "This person was instructed to leave at " & IDepTime & " but did not do so, instead departing at " & ADepTime & "which caused us a problem"
me.txtnarrative.value = Story
End Sub
This all works, however the times being displayed are in hh:mm:ss format, when I only want hh:mm format - how do I tell it the format I want?
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
