I have done this in the past but it has been sooo long since I consistently used Access that I am in a fog:confused:
How can I create a timestamp or series thereof, so that each time data is added to a Memo field there is a date time record created? My goal is to allow people to enter notes but have the timestamp automatically either append itself to the note OR timestamp a seperate field? Open to ideas...
Thanks much!
I am trying to do has to be done in a table and without the use of forms (becasue its what works for us) in Access 2007. I have a table where my staff records a number of different data fields for accounts. I currently have a 3 table relationship established. One of these table is our "Notes" table. My staff enters continuous notes for different accounts as new information come in.
What I have done is set my "date" field's default value to "now()" which accomplishes the time-stamp I need, but at the same time as soon as they type anything in another field in that row Access creates another row which is unwanted. follow up how can I go about also having a field that auto fills w/ the user's name/ID?
I have a CSV file that is going to be imported into a DB.
the CSV file has a field that has a date & time stamp and I need to be able to store this file as 2 seperate fields....
the field would look something like this:
5/10/2006 17:00
I would like to store the datestamp and possibly the timestamp but the timestamp is not very NB!
I update, import and export tables, problem is I need a way to track what I have done or allow someone to pick up where I left off. Is there a way for MS Access to return the Create or Modified Date and time stamp of any table? :eek:
View 4 Replies View RelatedI been through about 15 different time stamp threads and none of them seem to get to the point. I have a texbox on my form where a user can enter a comment. I would like a timestamp just to be on the form next to the box so anyone looking at it can tell when the comment box was updated. Is this possible in Access? Someone Please point me in the right direction...

Hi everybody,
I am a poor Access newbie and I am trying to create a mask with a button which fills the current date and time in a field to be used as a timestamp.
Thank you for your help

I have a database that is for a manufacturing process and there is a field for date/time to be recorded when a product at each step in the process is started and completed. I would like to automate the date/time stamp (maybe when the field is double-clicked on a query or form). BTW, I have seen the auto update option when a record is updated, but a record will be updated multiple times at every step in the process.

I have a barcode input form. When a barcode is scanned, the value of the barcode, along with a date/time stamp using the now() function (hh:mm:ss) is entered into a table in the database as 2 separate columns. I need to make sure that I don't have any 2 barcodes with exactly the same date/time. They must be at least 1 second apart. How can I easily make this happen? I can't control how many times the barcode actually gets scanned.

I have access that is required to be accessed by multiple users and register their activities which is reflected with the tables in the background and form sends also the time that they are putting their activities.
So i split the tables and put them in a share folder in one of the PCs. however, the problem is about the timing and dates is not correct usually, and i found out some of the PCs their dates are not on sync. I asked and found out sometimes it is required to change the timing in their PCs.
Therefore, i was wondering instead of fetching the timing from their PCs why not to put the timing of share PC (i.e. timing/Date of the share PC which has the splitted tables)
so can i do like this:
User PC: (Form1) & user activity => Share PC: (Split table) & take time of the share
How can i do that?!
hi guys,
some background on my data:
i have a table that holds Electronic Gift Card details (those plastic store gift voucher cards). it holds all details of every transaction for every card, so the card number, activations, redemptions, dates, times, transaction values etc. are all recorded in my table.
i have attached a small extraction in a spreadsheet.
a single gift card can have multiple transactions against it throughout its lifespan. there are sometimes error transactions, and i need to write a query that finds these error transactions (they are all flagged with a "1" in the [reversal flag] field, so that bit is easy) but then also then the next transaction that occurs on that card. this subsequent transaction will not be flagged with a "1", but is a reversal of the error and will have an "802" flag in the [transaction type] field.
each transaction is date stamped hh:mm:ss, but i don't know how to write a query that will
1) find gift card number that has a reversal code of "1"
2) find next transaction made on that gift card based on transaction time
3) check that subsequent transaction type is "802"
4) select both transactions
5) repeat for entire table
i can't seem to get the desired result just using a straightforward query, and i don't know much (or any!) VBA in access.
does that make any sense at all???
cheers

Hi all,
Im just wondering about a date stamp which is in one of my queries. The database which i am working on is for a fuels company, one of the tables they have is a runout table, obviously for when fuel runs out at a station and also contains sales history. They have used a date stamp, so they can see how many runout were recorded each day.
My user now wants to be able to see what the previous 'date stamps' sales were, which is DATE_STAMP-1. I was just wondering if this was actually possible, i have tried several different ways of adding the criteria to the DATE_STAMP fields but it doesnt work and have got no where. I would be grateful of any help.
Thanks :)
I have searched for the answer but just can't seem to find the answer...
I have a form with a combo box field called Transaction Status with two values to choose from.."Approved" and "Rejected". I also have an "Approved Date" field.
When a transaction goes into "Approved" status, I want the Approved Date field to be date stamped with that days date. Currently in my Approved Date fields Control Source I have the following formula "=IIf([Transaction Status]="approved",Date()).
The problem is when a transaction gets approved the Approved Date comes up with the correct date like it is supposed to but the date does not seem to be fixed, it changes as with every new day.
One thought I had is to put this formula into the "defauld value" property, could that work?
Thanks!!!
Does anyone know how to put a checkbox on a form and when the check box is changes from blank to checked it puts the current date in that field? Can this be done by formatting the properties or create an event? Or does VB Code need to be written? Any assistance would be helpful.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI been browsing and I seen a few statement regarding a timestamp that displays when you create a new record so each new record would have the time it was created. What function is this?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi'm wondering if anyone has a solution to date stamp a memo field every time information is added.
e.g.
9/7 11:03 AM>1st sample information added 9/8 10:30 AM>2nd sample information added 9/9 2:34 PM>3rd sample information added
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Within my main table / form I have six status drop down boxes and would like to record with a date and time ever time they are changed and save this data in a second table.
If I cant do this with the six drop downs, can I do it if any change has happened to the recorded.
adding a date stamp on each line inside a text box when the form is opened. i've managed to add this expression to the text on got focus
=Date() & "/" & [IncidentDetail]
This every time adds the date stamp to the first line of the text box and not below the sentence or next line.
I am trying to add a user stamp in a table. I have seen online that perople put a macro (Before Change) in microsoft access 2010 but I dont understand how to use that.
I have seen you are suppose to do something with = Environ("username")
