UK Date Headache
Jun 1, 2005
Hi guys
I'm having issues with getting UK dates to show in access.
I created a table and then undertook an insert with the following:
docmd.RunSQL "INSERT into tbl_test([dates]) VALUES (#01/06/2005#);"
Note that my machine is in UK local and the format of the field is short date. The date in access is 06/01/2005. ie 6th Jan , not 1st June as it should be
If I set up a query via the query wizard to look at this field then I see that the date is shown in US format.
I tried to use the following in the field section:
result: format(dates, "dd/mm/yyyy")
and the date still showed up at US ie 06/01/2005. argghhhh. (assume due to the fact that format returns a string and I'm looking at a date field)
Any ideas how to overcome?

Hi all,
ok i have a bit of a problem here and this is it.
I have set up a quesry based on 2 forms 1 orders and 2 order details.
i have the set a criteria on the report to print a order number
i have then set up a report based on the query.
Then i have created a command button on my form up untill here it is fine the problem is when i create the order and send it to print the criterai box pops up which is ok but because i am using a touch screen it will not be viable for the user to enter the number each time he prints i would want it to pick it up from the current order id.
Is there a way to do this as i am sure all invoice systems and everything should be working like this or is there a better way to do this or am i doing something wrong i have attached a screen shot of what si going on
Thanks

I have a main form [mainform] with several subforms on it, two of which are on a tab.
On the second tab [page79] there is a subform [subformlist] which has like 25 checkboxes on it, any combonation of which can be picked by the user.
I need there to be at least one pick required of this subform, else the record won't show in a general query I have, since the table the subform is based on is linked to the record.
Is there anyway to make making a choice of one of at least one of these checkboxes checked a manditory thing before the user can close or move on to the next record?
I've tried making an "Other" box that on the Table has a default value of "True" which I thought would cause it to show in the query record...to no avail.
The only true way to make this work is to have it mandatory that the user pick from AT LEAST one, usually more before the record is complete.
Any help? Other than writing a MASSIVE If...Then statement...?
Or is there a way to make it so the choice isn't required for the record to show up in the query?
I'd post...but my db is too massive, even zipped.
:(

I am trying build what I thought was a super simple data base, but this is driving me crazy.
I have a group of building maintenance manuals (12) each of which is subdivided into sections. I have created a list of all the section headings and respective page numbers and have imported them into a table (tblMASTER ) with these fields:
MasterIndexpkf
SectionNumber (unique sequential number 1-311)
SectionName
PageNumber
I have a second table (tblCROSSREF) with these fields:
CrossRefIndexpkf
MasterIndexfkf
SectionNumber
SectionName
PageNumber
The two tables are linked in a one-to-many relationship on the respective MasterIndex fields.
I also have a query (qryMaster) which includes ALL the fields in tblMaster which serves as a lookup to the SectionName field in tblCROSSREF.
What I want to do is to select a section number in tblMaster and enter all the possible cross references in tblCROSSREF by selecting the available section names from qryMaster.
This seems to me to be sooo simple, but I am having a real headache!
My primary problem is that when I use the lookup function in the SectionName field (in tblCROSSREF) it returns not the Section Name, but the Primary Key Field number.
This thing is making me feel like the AFLAC duck. Can anyone give me a clue about where I have gone wrong?
Thanks,
Rick

I've been searching in vain for a solution to a relatively simple bit of mathematics that I’d like to Access to undertake.
It involves interpolating between data, as illustrated in the following example. Basically have several items, and let's say different "prices" dependent on the number of units purchased. The relationship between the “prices” is not a straightforward formula, therefore I need a query to return an interpolated price for a given number of "units".
DATA
ItemID Price10Price20Price35Price50Price100Price 1000
1£70£135£200£315£800£6500
2£23£31£61£89£210£1500
OUTPUT
ItemIDUnitsPrice(int)
117?
231?
So, for example
if Units <10, Then Price(int) = Price10
if Units = 17, Price(int) = Price10 + (17-10)*(Price20-Price10)/(20/10)
if Units = 32, Price(int) = Price20 + (32-20)*(Price35-Price20)/(35/20)
if Units >1000, Then Price(int) = Price1000
I'm aware that IIF statements might do the job, but I have 15 different 'Price' points, and don't particularly want to nest them all.
This problem was solved previously in Excel using a clumsy set of VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP functions in conjunction with If statements.

Hi all,
I got a headache to changing my form's filename... i am totally a newbie in Access while in the few months ago... so i just create all those form or table name's for the way i like. But now i had already know how important of management of the filename because when u r using the module to write the code u will be headache to look for the filename that u want in the code. So that is important to add 'tbl', 'frm', 'Qry' infront of the filename.
So do anyone have a good way to edit all the file name with all match to the other in the module with a quick way rather then one by one editing (really tired for one by one) Thanks!!!

I need some help. My brain just can't grasp how to do this.
I have an Access DB. I sell vinyl records. I have an order form. When a customer orders a record, each vinyl record has a unique ID#. No two vinyl records are alike. I have four tables: Customers, Orders, Inventory, & Order Details. I have an "Order Form" form where I input all the info. It's an all-in-one form where you can view and data entry in one screen. The form has two subforms in it.
Here's the problem:
If a customer orders more than one item (i.e. a vinyl record), each Inventory_ID (representing one vinyl record) is associated with one Order_ID which is, in turn, related to one Customer_ID. If I have one Order_ID that has multiple Inventory_IDs (i.e. has ordered two or more vinyl records) that belongs to one customer, how can I calculate that total cost?
Currently, I have a calculated field within my all-in-one form that calculates only the price of the Inventory_ID that one currently sees on the subform. The Inventory_ID item has a set price, for instance $5.00. If I scroll through the ordered Inventory_IDs, the calculated field will only display the price of the product that you currently see. It's not really calculating anything, I guess. It's just bound to that field, but I need to sum up all the price fields for all the Inventory_IDs that are associated with one Order_ID & Customer_ID whether it's a query or calculated field...I just need it done so that it'll display on this form.
Any help would be much appreciated. I can show you whatever you need to see. Thanks in advance.

Ok, here's something I think I've done dozens of times, successfully. Now I can't get it to work.
I have a Parent Form with three Subforms (based on 3 separate, linked, tables).
I have a combo box on the parent form which looks up a piece of EQUIPMENT by its unique ID and the other two forms display equipment DETAIL and SERVICE HISTORY related to that equipment. It works just great until I use the ParentForm's navigation buttons. The two Subforms change to display the information relevant to other pieces of equipment, but the combo box continues to show the original look up.
Whaaaat have I done or not done here?
Thanks,
Rick

Ok, this is what I want to do :
I want to 'append' individual records from 2 tables and place in an archive table or within another database, whichever is the best option.
I then want to be able to 'delete' the relevant records from one table.
The tables are tproperty and trents. This property paid rents but has since been sold. Therefore it no longer belongs in the database, however client wishes to keep details of the property/person/and rents paid in past, for any future ref. These tables are linked in relationships to tlessee and tbilling.
I've read books/notes/looked on here for inspiration and the right direction! If I choose 'append' which seems pretty straight forward then a 'delete' query, how do I choose only one record? Is a make-table onto a different database a better option? It would appear that the whole table is copied over? Can't understand the issue about auto-numbers being copied over? Do I have to use an append/delete query for each individual property that's ever removed?
I'm at a loss! :) Thanks

I have a table that has entries recorded with date and time in one field, and I want to have a query that returns all records of a specified date or date range, regardless of the time in the field.
I have tried
Code:
Between [StartDate:] And [EndDate:]
And
Code:
Between [StartDate:] & "00:00" And [EndDate:] & "23:59"
Neither of which work ....

I'm trying to get my "IncidentDate" field to autopopulate two other date fields to a few days from the "IncidentDate". The other two date fields are "ContainDueDate" and "RootDueDate". I'm trying to accomplish this on my "Test CAP Form"
I tried using the following in the BeforeUpdate of "ContainDueDate" and received a complier error: expected =
Code : DateAdd(d,2,[IncidentDate])
so I removed the parenthesis and nothing happened
Code : DateAdd d,2,[IncidentDate]
I even tried redoing it in the AfterUpdate of "IncidentDate" and nothing happened either
Code : DateAdd d,2,[ContainDueDate]
I'm not sure if I'm even using the right function to get what I want.

Can someone tell me how to get year to date totals, month to date totals, week to dates in a query? I need to get all three for three different fields.
I was not able to get the totals with the formulas given. I received the totals for each day instead. Are there any other suggestions? I am trying to different formulas, but they are not working either. I did try doing different queries with the formulas to see if that would work.

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 report that displays simple date fields. One of the fields is "lease execution". On the report, I want "lease execution" to display differently depending on the date the report was run.
So:
- If the "lease execution" date is more than 120 days away from today, I want it to display as Q YYYY.
- If the "lease execution" date is between 120 and 90 days away from today, I want it to display as MM/YYYY
- If the "lease execution" date is 90 days or less away, I want it to display the normal date MM/DD/YYYY
I was thinking I would need to do DateDiff() to figure out an amount of days that's between Now() and [Lease_Execution]. Then based on that amount make the report show it differently. Pseudocode would be: if DateDiff() = 40, then display [lease_execution] as MM/DD/YYYY

I have attached a sample of a database.
Table 1 has all the items I am trying to sell with sell by date after which I cannot sell this item. Then in Table 2 I have forecasted sales. So now I am trying to calculate stock consumption to see if I will be left with any stock that I cannot sell.
So now somehow I need to deduct sales forecast from my stock holding but it needs to go by date i.e. consume all stock for Item 1 with date 16/09 before moving to Item 1 with sale by date 23/09.
So based on the attached example, I can see that on 16/09 I will consume only 5 cases from sell by date 16/09 and another sale is 18/09. So that would give me information that I will be left with 95 items dated 16/09, which I cannot sell because they will be out of date.
Ideally I would like also to include the logic that if Item is out of date it would move to the next sell by date.
So in this case sale of Item 1 forecasted for 18/09 (94) would consume the whole stock (50) with date 23/09 and another 44 from date 01/10
For Item 2 I can see that units with Sell by date 30/09 will be consumed on 25/09 and I will start taking stock from next sell by date which is 14/10.

I am creating a repayment schedule (as a report) and I want to display a series of fields as a column which return (show) a date one month after the date in the field above.
The first repayment date field (Line 1) will show a date one month after the loan was paid out. the Next field below will show the date one month later.
I can't simply insert the "Date + 30" because that would get out of since over the year. If the loan was issued on say the 15th of January, I need the first field to display 15th February and the next would be .... 15th March.... Yes - You've got it!
Now I could do that in Excel, but I don't know how to get Access to do it.

I'm reworking a db to make it web compatible. Right now I'm working on my Price and Sales tables.There are about 900 Sales records, 450 Price records (for about 45 Items).
I have re-done my Price table with an Autonumber Key field. (It had a multi-key which I understand web db does not support.) Each autonumber key represents a Date with new Price for a Company/Item. The Price change Dates are random.
I have put a Foreign Field in my Sales table for the Price key field.
My dilemma is matching the Sales with the Prices.
When the Price Date and Sales Date do not match (at least half of them don't match), I need to look back in the Price table to the max Date BEFORE the Sales Date in the Sales table for that Company/Item in order to select the correct Price key.

I am building a database to track contract of employees so that I can know which contracts are valid and which are expired.
My table has the following fields:
ID (Primary key)
Employee ID (Foreign key to link to the employee table)
Start_Date
End_Date
Status (Either valid or expired)
Challenge
I want when I enter the end date, the system checks the end date against the current date and fills in the status field with either valid or expired as appropriate. For instance if the contract end date is March 10,2016, the status must be filled in the word valid.

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

Is there a way to show the earliest and latest dates of a report generated by a non-date field?
E.g. I generate a report based on Food, and it'll list the days that this food is associated with. Is there a way to show the first and last day that appears in this report (i.e. the range of dates that the report shows based on the food selected)

I am currently building a booking and invoicing database for the small business where I work. One aspect of this database allows you to enter an employee name and schedule days off via a form I have already built. To access this information I would like a parameter query where you can enter a date once and then have this date looked up across a number of date fields. Here are my table column headings:
ID
Employee Name
Date 1
Date 2
Date 3
Date 4
Date 5
Date 6
Date 7
....etc
So, basically, the parameter query would ask "What date?" which the person would enter, and then search all 12 date fields to see if the date was contained in any one of them. Then it would pull any records which did have the date in one of the fields.
It seems really simple but I have searched and searched and can't seem to find the answer. Tried a multivalue field but does not seem to work.
Thanks very much, any help appreciated! Elspeth :confused:
