Tables :: Set Default Value In Field Property?
Feb 13, 2013
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.

Access 2007
In a table I have 2 fields:
D1 , Date/Time , DefaultValue: Date()
D2 , Date/Time , DefaultValue: Date()+1
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 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 am using Access 2010. How to change the property of a field in a table programmatically.
I have a table in which one field has Required property set to "Yes". I would like to set this property by using VBA code to "No", then add data into a table using a query and re-set the Required property to "Yes".
Is this possible and if so, how can I do it?

Is it possible to use a subquery as a default value property setting?
I need to use a value from a table that is not the focus table of the form, I have tried to identify it with a subquery but it returns a #name? error every time. I hate those!
Any help would be appreciated.

I keep getting the "Property Value is too large" when I add a description to a field in an existing table.
The same error was resolved on another table by cutting four fields then saving then pasting them back into the table and saving again.
I tried importing the entire DB into a new file, this I still get the error message "Property Value is too large" ...

I have a form with a subform where I want to select (via button) which format to open the form in. Opening the form is simple, DoCmd.OpenForm (FormName),acFormDS to open in datasheet, however, the subform opens in default view (single form). Can you programmatically set the property on the subform to change the Default View from Single Form to Datasheet and back?

I am doing a project for school. I would like to make the default value in one field (available or rented) to be "rented" if the value in a field in another table is null. Is there an "easy" way to do this?

I have have a "master table" with Analyst ID and Analyst fields among other fields needed. Analyst ID is a number and Analyst will be the name of someone that corresponds to that number. I have a separate table that defines who is assigned to that particular ID.
1 Kim
2 Sarah
3 Beth
I have a form for this master table that shows Analyst ID and Analyst. I would like the default value of the Analyst field to be the name that corresponds to the Analyst ID number for the record. I would also like this same field to be a drop down on the form so that my users can change it as necessary. IE. If the record shows Analyst ID =1, the value for Analyst will show "Kim" unless changed to another analyst manually per the drop down.

In the default property of a subform control I want to use a control of the main form without using names of forms, but using me and parent.
I used in default property of cboVATDetail: =Me.Parent!cboVAT, but it is not accepted. My aim is to use cboVAT of parent as default in cboVATDetail of child.

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 :)

I am trying to change a field to be required. I know where it is...
(Navigation Pane > Design View > Select field I want required > Properties Pane > General Tab > set Required property to Yes)
But I don't see that General Tab at the bottom of my page.
The closest thing I have to properties is on the right-hand side. It opens when I right-click, then hit Properties. It displays...
Format | Data | Event | Other | All... but that's it...

I am creating this temporary table on the fly I find I need a default value of zero for the field [GrpCount] . However I can't find the correct code to set this default value? I'm assuming it's an attribute
Code:
Set tbldef = DB.CreateTableDef("tblTempLkp")
With tbldef
.Fields.Append .CreateField("ID", dbLong)
[Code]....

I am using Access 2013 and in table design view. Whenever I add a new 'Number' or 'Currency' field the 'Default Value' property is (by default) always 0.This is fine except when i want to refer to a foreign key or amount which could be unknown. In either of those cases the resulting field will either be invalid (because no foreign key has ID = 0) or inaccurate (because 0 is not the same as Unknown).
I would prefer if the 'Default Value' property for new fields was always nothing, then I can add my own if and when required. I want to change the default setting on a property for new fields, not the value of the field itself.
I'm guessing this isn't actually possible, but at least this post has served to vent my frustrations! What bugs me even more is that i'm sure it wasn't like this in Access '10, is this another "upgrade".

Access 2010. I inherited a database that I need to copy and get it ready for next year's data. There are several places in the various tables where the default value on a field is 2013. I need to change to 2014. Any vba code or macro that I can do this without opening all the tables to change the values?

Hello. I am looking for a way to make a field value automatically default to
the value of the immediate prior field. For example, I am in record 11, and
in Field "City" I type "New York." When I create record 12, I want
City to automatically default to "New York." Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
