Use Regional Settings (Date) In Calculation?
May 29, 2007
I am working in a constantly changing db. The new regime is trying to calculate an inmates remaining time to work on the freeway trash crew if: 1) They show up for work and 2) have no FTA's. This form field is unbound. I currently have a query that calculates the days if they did show up for work or they had served their time. Since there are over 2500 inmates in the program, and the man power to update that many files daily isn't an option, I think it would make better since if we documented the ones that didn't show up but at the same time credit the ones that did...can this be done? If so, any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a huge problem!!!! Access seems to be picking up settings from somewhere which means that the Short date = mm/dd/yyyy and not dd/mm/yyy as set in the regional Settings!
Does anyone have any ideas why?!?!

I'm new to my job and ms access and not very savvy in the latter. There are fixes for my problem on the internet, but I really don't understand them.
I'm used to dd-mm-yyyy format and it's tough for me to think in mm-dd-yyyy in, for example, MS outlook. If I change my regional settings, of course, outlook and access follow suit. The access database is shared and we print out records as cover sheets for our files. Thus, it's not an option to have me on dd-mm and others on mm-dd. Is there a way for me to enter mm-dd in when using the database but have dd-mm standard for every other aspect?
If you can help, which I would appreciate immensely, please pretend that I don't know what I'm doing.
Thanks

I have a table in access database which contains a text field 'EDate' that stores Date value in format (12-Apr-2013). Now I want to run a sql query on that field. User will give an input date. The sql query needs to fetch me all the records from access database whose Edate is less than or equal to the user input date.
I am using DateValue function to convert my text filed Edate into date. My query is something like this:
select * from table_name where DateValue(EDate)<='user_input_date'
I am able to perform above task if the system language settings are 'English'. But if system language settings are different say Turkish, then the query fails.
I searched a lot on web and found that DateTime function compares test data with the system date time format and gives the result. Thus it fails with different language settings.

Hi, I have a table that has a start date field, a duration field and an end date field. I was wondering what I need to do so that the end date is calculated and entered when the duration is added onto the start date to produce the end date?
Should the date fields be set as a date, data type?
Sorry if this does not make sense ;)
Many thanks, Tobi

Here is the scenerio:
I have two tables:
tblDate: Contains on Months (i.e.Jan, Feb, Mar, etc)
tblActivities: Contains 4 fields Name, date, activity and hours
I have greated a form that allows me to select what month I want to see. It has a simple combo box in it that point back to tblDate.date. I setup a macro that is doing a OpenReport, there Where Clause is as follows:
[Forms]![frmMnthSelect]![Combo0] Like [tblVolunteers]![Date]
Of course this is not working, and I am at a loss.
I have a Query that is setup that is pulling all records for the current month, but I need to be able to select individual months, because I often have to pull reports for past and future projects.
Can some one start me out in the right direction......
Thanks,
Chuck

Hrmm, im sure there used to be an Excel forum, i seem to have lost it :/ Hope its ok posting here:
What im trying to do is, for a range of dates from 1/1/2005 to 31/12/2020 get the Qtrly Financial Period before...
So, for instance:
A date of 1/1/2005 makes the period before 1/10/2004 to 31/12/2005
A date of 1/5/2005 makes the period before 1/1/2005 to 31/3/2005
A date of 1/8/2010 makes the period before 1/4/2010 to 30/6/2010
Fiscal Period (for those that dont work with them) are, 1st April to 30th June, 1st July to 30th Sept, 1st Oct to 31st Dec and 1st Jan to 31st March of any year.
So what i want is 3 colums in excel, Column 1 = Period Start, Column 2 = Period End, Column 3 = Date
Can anyone figure the forumla out? Doesnt matter where its done in, just as long as the end result can be in Excel....

I'm having trouble getting my head around this.
I have a database that collects stats of patients admitted to ICU.
I have a table PtDataTable (pk = PtID) with a one to many relationship with PtVisitTable (pk = VisitID, fk = PtID). The patient visit table has the fields AdmissionDate and AdmissionTime, and DischargeDate and DischargeTime.
I need to calculate if the patient is readmitted to ICU in less than or equal to 48hrs. In other words calculate the time elapsed between DischargedDate and DischargedTime in one record and the AdmissionDate and AdmissionTime for other records in the PtVisitTable for the same patient.
I'm not sure if I stated this clearly.
Any help is appreciated as always.

YearsOfService: DateDiff("d",[Employee]![SIV Date],Date())/365
First I'm calculating the current Years of Service. SIV Date = Hired Date
Then I would like to calculate the years of service as of 12/31/"Current Year", where the Current Year would not require updating every year and 12/31 would be constant.
I'm just not sure how to specify the Month/Day and use Current Year not hard coded. I could set up a user defined date for that half of the calc but my users are not really bright and allowing them to simply click a button is my only option there.
Ultimately I will compare the 2 years of Service numbers to determine if there will be a change in the level of vacation accrual an individual receives during the year. The only part I have issue with is coding that date. Thanks for the help.

Hi
I have a database for maintaining procurement contracts which includes a start date for each contract and a frequency of reviews required (monthly, qrtly, bi-annual, yearly). I need to be able to generate a report that will tell me when the next review is due for each contract, taking today's date into consideration.
This is the setup so far:
tblRegistry - contains field 'Commence' for the start date of the contract and 'Review Req' to indicate how often a review is required (monthly, yearly etc).
tblReviewReq - contains field 'Review Frequency' (monthly, yearly etc) and 'Days' to assign the number of days eg monthly = 30, yearly = 365 etc.
Next I have a query that includes the above tables using the fields 'Commence' and 'Days' and have created a calculated field to give me the next review date ie contract start is 1/08/07, review freq is monthly (=30 days), therefore the next review is 1/09/07. "NextReview:[Commence]+[Days]"
But how do I get it to tell me the next review date after the 1/09/07? Ultimately I'd like to be able to pull a report at any stage which will tell me all the reviews that are coming up.
Thanks

Table
------
I have one field called [Time] in dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm format in table A.
I have another field called [Deadline] in text format (Mon 10:00) in table B.
Queries
-------
Need to build one queries that have the above two field, but with additional field called [PullDeadline] that the [Time] will look out the [Deadline] and return the actual time & date value in [PullDeadline]. No matter how the [Time] change, the [PullDeadline] will stick to [Deadline] and return the value in that particular week.
For example,
[Time] = 01-12-2007 05:00:00 AM
[Deadline] = Mon 10:00
[PullDeadline] = 26-11-2007 10:00 AM
How to handle, if the deadline is previous or next week?
Eg. [Deadline] = Sun 10:00
Then [PullDeadline] = 25-11-2007 10:00 AM instead of 02-12-2007 10:00 AM.

I need to use an update query to calculate the following 1st of April for each of 3000+ records, the only exception is if the Start Date is the 1st of April in which case the date will remain the same.
Examples
StartDateAdjStartDate
01/03/08 01/04/08
10/09/06 01/04/07
15/04/08 04/04/09
01/04/08 01/04/08
Can anyone advise the best way to do this?

I have the following date calculation :
-----------------
Private Sub StatofLimits_GotFocus()
'--Determines Statute of Limitations accounting for minors.
If DateAdd("yyyy", 18, Me.Txt14) > Me.txtBegin Then
Me.StatofLimits = DateAdd("yyyy", 20, Me.Txt14)
Else
Me.StatofLimits = DateAdd("yyyy", 2, Me.txtBegin)
End If
End Sub
------------------------
Here is my problem. The number "2" in the else statement (Me.StatofLimits = DateAdd("yyyy", 2, Me.txtBegin)in the above example is a variable. The variable is selected from a combobox and stored in an unbound textbox. The variable will always represent a number of years-ie 3 years, 4 years, etc. I need to modify my calculation so that it will pull the variable from my textbox:
I know this isn't correct but this is what I need:
Me.StatofLimits = DateAdd("yyyy", (Number from MyTxtBox), Me.txtBegin)
Can anyone give me the correct syntext?
Pat, If you read this, I did listen. The reason I need to modify my calculation and use a variable is because I moved my Statute of Limitation Dates to the same table and different case types have different Statutes. They can be anywhere from 2 to 6 years.

I am not sure how to do the following and appreciate any help offered.
I need to have create an expression that gives me a total based on the number of days (different arrival and departure dates) where each day has a different value but remains the same from record to record. Perhaps this is a very easy thing to do, but I am just missing it.
Thank you

OK so I have a form with the following fields which are all date/time type
apptTime
timerOn
pickupDate
reminder - combo box with 1 hour, 2 hour...etc up to 10 hours
so what happens is when user enters apptTime say 18:30 with pickupDate set for current days date 10/14/2006 then chooses 2 hours from the reminder combo. This then sets timerOn to (apptTime-2 hours) so it is 16:30. I have set a conditional formatting to change background color when "timerOn<=Time() and pickupDate=Date()" so user knows to dispatch this load. This all works great until you get to midnight.
If user sets apptTime to 00:30 with pickupDate to 10/15/2006 and chooses 2 hour reminder, so timerOn does get set to 22:30 and you would expect the conditional formatting to work once the current Time() is 22:30, but since the current Date() is 10/14/2006, the expression is false. I have tried the DateAdd such as DateAdd("d", 1, Date()) command in various ways but can't get it to work for "timerOn<=Time() and pickupDate=DateAdd("d", 1, Date())"...I mean it works because it adds 1 day to pickupDate and condition is then true, but it ignores the timerOn<=Time() part and formats even if I reset system time to 22:29. Can anybody give me insite on where the logic is wrong?

Must admit I have always had problems getting my mind around the Nz function and where to stick it in an expression. have googled this one (as I know it is not a common problem) but to no avail
If i have a calculated field
=DateAdd("d",7,[DateSubmitted]) then how do I deal with the possibility that [DateSubmitted] may be blank??

In a query

Hope that's clear enough
Thanks Aaron

Hi
In need of some assistance please.
I am looking to calculate in a form someones age in years and months at a specific date.
I have tried various different functions but can't seem to work out where i'm going wrong.
The persons date of birth is entered manually into the "DoB" field. I then want their age to be calculated in a text box below this, if it needs 2 text boxes then so be it.
The specific date is 25/05/2007 (UK date).
I am currently using the datediff function but I need the calc to be more specific than just the year.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance
