Hi all
I'm looking for a way to update forms, reports, queries etc... by exporting them to another database with the same objects.
Essentially, I'd like to export only those forms etc... that have been modified according to the mofified date.
Any ideas are appreciated.
I need to able to quickly find which the last records that have been modified. I have an invisible field "txtModified" on the main form and selecting when changes where made to the record on the main form is easy using a qry on that field. The problem I face is that the form with all details of a particular item contains 2 subforms. Changes to data on each of these subforms doesn't effect the time/date on the main form. However, each of the subforms is also time stamped upon change.The qry to select the last records changed therefore needs to look at 3 fields and select records with the latest date in any of the 3 "Modified" fields. How do I do that? I suppose I'll have to put an expression in the qry?Thanks for your advice.Walter

I have this code in a Query...
[Type in your product, such as mtt20]
Once you type in the product it will go
and find it and display it.
My question is :
Is there a way to modify this so it will
allow me to enter more than one product
and then go and get the results.
Preferrably the easiest way possible as I
am a new user of access and no program
training...
thank you...
Hello,
My problem is that somehow the PK of my [Orders] table got turned off allowing records with duplicate IDs. To get rid of the duplicates, I did the following:
1. create a new, test database.
2. copy the [Orders] table to it.
3. create a new field, [Delete] in the [Orders] table
4. write a query to find duplicate orders and make a new table[$Dup_Orders] with just the [IDOrder] field in it.
5. write a query , linking the [$Dup-Orders] table to the [Orders] table via [IDOrder]. Here’s the SQL of that query:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [$Dup_Orders].[IdOrder Field], Orders.DeleteDup
FROM [$Dup_Orders] INNER JOIN Orders ON [$Dup_Orders].[IdOrder Field] = Orders.IdOrder;
With that query, I would like to go through the table, flag the records to delete, and then write a query deleting those records.
The problem is that Access does not allow the [Orders] table to be modified.
The database is completely independent with only an imported [Orders] table and a temp table created from a query.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
John
I created a "BeforeUpdate" property on my form, which is meant to insert the date into the field DateModified when the record is modified. The code says:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me!DateModified = Now()
End Sub
When I am running the form and modify a record then go to find a different record through an unbound text box which I use to locate records , it comes up with "run-time error '3020: Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit."
Any ideas?
I was amazed to discover that a copied control does not contain the event code in the original control. How do reuse these controls?

I want to know if is there a way to view log in access for existing records and find out the date on which particular record was modified.
I know that I can add this facility for new records henceforth but I want the date modified information for old records.
Please let me know,
and it works mainly except for two problems:
(1) I renamed all the forms on the Database main window. But when I open the forms, on the top blue bar, it still reads the old names. How do I change that to new names?
(2) I've changed the "Calls" table and forms to "Actions." I've renamed the "Calls" button on the main "Contacts" form which is now "Projects." The old key field "ContactID" is now "ProjectID."
When I click on the "Calls" button to go to the "Calls" form/subforms, box says "cannot find field "ContactID" referred to in your expression.
How do I fix it so that it recognises the new key "ProjectID"? They are linked correctly on relationship--or at least they're linked exactly the way it was linked in the template.
HELP!
THANKS!!!

Hi
Does anybody know if I can link a text box on a form so that it reads the last modified date of a text or excel file on my hard drive ?
I modified some reports in my music library database to have the composer first name and last name appear as one field. I'm not sure what is wrong with them, and request another pair of eyes look at them to see if the error(s) can be found. Please bare with me, this is my first post to this forum so I'm not sure if I am following the rules correctly, yet I have posted to the Java area before. I'm not sure what I should include for help, since when I try to include my database in *.zip format, it is saying it is too big to send. Any ideas on what I should send?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my access database I am using a form and at times a record may need to be updated multiple times. Is there a way to track and count how many times a record has been modified? I already track the last modified date and time.I searched and was not able to locate what I am trying to do, and maybe my search term was not exactly correct.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a form with 4 subforms on it and I am trying to find a way to capture the last modified date for the record regardless of what form or subform they touched
Is this possible?
Right now I have a macro on before update of Now() on the form and all of the subforms but that is only showing when that form was last modified which is not exactly what I am trying to achieve.
I'm a novice Access user and I've been put in charge of changing this. The database is on a shared device. I copied a working frontend (access file) to another machine and used the link table manager tool to find the new database. Now when I open the table view mode I can see the table data, but when I open the form, it doesn't show the data at all and it only lists 1 record. I know this sounds like a really stupid question, but is there one more step or am I in insert mode?
Thanks a bunch for your help.

How I can create a sequential number in a field that looks like this:
Year-XXX-00
(Example: 15-100-00 -- the next sequential number would be 15-101-00)
I don't want to hard code the year, and the last 2 numbers must be entered manually.
It gets even more exciting --> this number has to be able to be duplicated in a table. Those last 2 numbers is a revision number. We might have a 15-100-00, 15-100-01, 15-100-02, etc.
Hi,
I have a 3rd party desktop application to manage inventory. The data will be stored in local MS Access database. I want to sync any changes (insert, update or delete) made to this database to remote MS Sql server immediately or in batches using a scheduler.
Is there any method to know the changed rows in an MS Access table after x time. I mean I want to get all the rows in an Access table that have been added or modified after a particular date and time (say "05-23-2007 10:15:00") without using a user defined date time column in that table.
If i can do the above operation, i will write queries to get the added or modified rows and update remote server in batches.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Anz
I used a macro to record the date and time the current record was modified and show that information on a form - the information on how I did that is here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/a...0345351033.aspx
That works wonderfully, however I would like to add to this the user that modified the record.
Is there a macro code for this??
I tried setting the Item to read [UserModified] and the Expression to be User() however that did not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanks.
I have an existing Access Database which has a lot data, new records get added every day and a few are modified as well.
I need to write a script/query/exe which will get modified records(since last execution of same script etc.) from Access and export them to a CSV file.
My problem is getting those modified records.. Is there any default timestamp field in Access which can be used? Or do I have to add a new timestamp column for every table?
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 subform that is filtered by a textbox on the main form. Is there any way I can add a timestamp to a record on the subform when a user changes anything on that record?
I've tried the Macro that is listed on Microsoft's website regarding timestamps, but I had serious issues implementing that to a subform.
How do I set up a field so that when the record has been modified, the field is automatically filled in (or replaced) with a date? In other words if I open up my member's detail form, and go to Sally Smith and edit her information on 11 July 15, that date is saved into a field called last modified and then updated every time I go into her file and edit & save it.

I'm building a report which should highlight/change text color in field values in a modified table which have changed relative to field values in an original table. I'm using the same conditional formatting on all my fields: e.g. on the field named [Primary Instructor] in the report on the modified table, I have "Value <> Reports![F2015original]![Primary Instructor]", where I reference an identical report on the original table. Both are loaded.
My problem: it's reading all values as changed/different, even when both visual inspection and copy/paste indicate that the values are identical. Thus my report highlights all values for the field, rather than only those which have changed. The reports have identical non-conditional formatting and data type.
I want to insert a text box in the report design that show the last date in which the data was modified ...
