I have a form named 'Race'. It uses table 'Tasks'. I want to click a command button and have the 'Completed Date' field updated to the current date.
Can anyone tell me how to code the command button?
Thanks!

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 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.
i have just started to use access and i know how to insert the current date into a field using date() but i am not sure will this change the date everytime i open the form ? i want to create a form for invoices that shows the date the invoice was created and doesnt change if i re open for editing,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with date/time field. I have the default value at =Now(). My problem is I would like for this particular field to stay with the current date/time all the time. I mean if I created a form last week with the date/time of 3/14/2005 12:54:34 PM and go back to the same form to edit something this week I would like for that particular date/time to be the current date/time and not the date/time from the week and time the original form was created.
Thanks for any help!
What code would I use and how would I insert it into my Code to make a button on a form fill in the current date into [fieldname]???
I think I already know who is going to respond to this! ;)
Thanks! :D
I can't seem to get my date field to update to today when I add information to another field.
My table has a lookup field, date field, text field, text field, text field.
I have set the date field to default to today for each new record.
I work with this table as a subform.
I would like to have the date field update to the date I go back to the record and update the first text field.
I have tried using after update, and an if - then statement, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know how to automatically enter the current date into a specified field by simply clicking on a check box. I imagine the IIf function would work when entered into 'Control Source' but I also need the check box to be linked to the underlying table.
i.e. I tick the 'Paid' checkbox and the current date is automatically entered into the 'Date Sold' field. I also need the -1 generated by clicking on the checkbox to be stored in the table.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, although I am no good with code, so if you could post an example or an easier way to do it I would be most grateful
Having a bit a brain freeze today. I have a field that auotmatically puts a date in when a checkbox is checked I am now trying to add a field which returns the day of the week from this date. Brain now mashed I am sure it's pretty simple but I just can't get it to work
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out to have the current date populate in table field by using a button on a form and not having much luck.
I have a table with 2 date fields, a 'created' field and a 'received' field. I already have the date set to auto populate for the 'created' field but I don't want the 'received' field to populate until the employee has gone into the database to receive the work.
I know I could have the employee just enter the date, but i want to avoid any typos or people simply forgetting to do it.
Ideally I would love the button to enter the current date into the 'received' field and save the entry, but I fine it needs to be 2 seperate buttons.
I'm having a problem trying to update a date field from a button.
I have a form called Add_New_Domain which runs from a table called Domain_Names.
Within the form there is a field called Expiry_Date which tells me when the domain is set to expire. When I first create an entry I manually enter a date in here.
However, every year when the domain renews I would like to increase this date by exactly a year by clicking a button which is also on the form.
How do you write a MS Access query criteria that looks for records like the current year only for a date field ? I tired Like *Year(Now()), it did not work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a short date field 5/20/2014
I would like to set up a conditional format to format those fields in the current month. For example, this month is would format all fields with "5".
Next month all fields with "6"
In the month space.
I can't seem to figure out the expression, I know I'm close.
All, using access 2010. How do I display the default value of a date/time field to just the current year instead of using =date() to get the full date.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..
Looking to create two command buttons or two keystrokes sets in an Access 2007 form that will allow me to place a current date and time in any allowable field where the Cursor is presently placed. Similar to what was in Access 2000, ctl: (for the current date) and ctl shift : (for the current time).

i'm getting this message when i try and change a record in a table via a recordset... but i am using CursorType = adLockOptimistic which i thought let you make changes to the table
here is my code so far
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
rst.CursorLocation = adUseServer
rst.CursorType = adLockOptimistic
rst.Open "TBL_TmpSubmission", CurrentProject.Connection
If rst.RecordCount > 0 Then
Do While Not rst.EOF
MsgBox rst!PropertyType, vbOKOnly, "debug"
If DCount("[PropertyType]", "[TBL_PropertyType]", "PropertyType = '" & rst!PropertyType & "'") <> 1 Then
rst!PropertyType = DLookup("[PropertyType]", "[TBL_PropertyType]", "IDPropertyType = " & rst!PropertyType)
MsgBox "property changed", vbOKOnly, "debug"
Else
MsgBox "good property", vbOKOnly, "debug"
End If
rst.MoveNext
Loop
End If
rst.Close
am i using the wrong combination or cursor and lock type here? reading the help it seems i should be able to make changes to the table.
I'm having difficulties creating a sql statement which updates data in another Access database from a current database.
I'm able to do an insert and delete statement just perfectly, but not an Update. :confused:
For example, here is a dummy sample (which does not work):
Update tbl_test1 IN '\C:Tempabc.mdb', tbl_test2
set tbl_test1.Name = tbl_test2.Name
Where tbl_test1.ID = tbl_test2.ID
I tried a couple of variations, however, I keep getting an error.
Also, I don't want to create a database link (due to the sheer complexity of my project, which I'll spare you the details..)
Does anyone know how to do this? I searched the forums and came up with zilch! =(.. Help??!
Hi I have a forrm (Orders) , with a subform (Order Details)
Depending on a selection of a list field it makes certain field visible in the subform.
If I go the next record and select the list field it updates fields in the subform ( Visible ( True or False )
But if I go back to the previousl record it doesnt update the fields that are relavent to the option picked in the List Filed ( Which I have set to after update ). It works fine if I re-select the option in the list field
How do I set it to update the subform field automatically as I scroll through records?
I tried OnCurrent property but I dont think this is the correct one.
please help
Combo box on continuous form should have the control source listed as the field on the form that will be updated. The Row Source, however, is a query that includes 2 things: the field on the form that will be updated (this part will be nonvisible in your form) and the table/query of selections you want to show up in the combo box (visible). Then ensure the Bound column is set to 1 and the Column count is set to 2 with Column Widths as 0";1"
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am creating a database that tracks current projects for my team at work.
Some projects are only due once (e.g., mailed brochures due on 1/1/14) and some are due at scheduled intervals (e.g., status report due monthly, quarterly, etc.)
Ultimately, I'm hoping that my end result will allow us to click on a form and look at what everybody has due that day, in the next 7 days, and so forth.
Hello,
I was wondering how to check a date in a table vs current date and
then put a yes/no in a colum if the date in the table is past current date.
In the form I know it should be wrote in the Upon Open Event
But I am unsure of the code.
Thank you for your time,
Derek L
I want the query to return the results of all records that are for the next day.
Sort of like =Date() +1
