I have a field that contains an input mask : 99/99/00 99:00;0;_ this allows the user to enter a date and time in one field. Such as 04/24/13 15:00 . I want to put validation on that field, so that the user can't enter a time that does not exist such as "25:30" or a date that hasn't happened yet. How to accomplish that? The data is going into a linked SQL table so I'm limited on what I can do on the table end I think.
Hi all, was wondering if there was a simple way out there, or if someone could give me some ideas on how to use an admin function to either approve or deny a users time and tasks... this wouldnt neccesarily have to a be a daily function... but i would like to have this done before the end of a pay period(2 weeks). i feel like this could be as simple as using a check box to show approval, but i wouldnt know how to have the users submission go into a place where the admin could view to approve or deny.. has anyone seen something like this done before? thanks in advance
I have a date/time text field on a form with the General Date format and a combo box next to it that has sequencial times as the row source (IE. 12:45 AM, 1:00 AM, 1:15 AM, 1:30 AM, ETC.) When the user chooses a time in the combo box, I want the time portion of the text box to be updated with the chosen time in the combo. I have tried a few things but cant seem to get it right.

Wonder if someone can help please. I'm quite new to Access so please bear with me.
I have a data field in my database consisting of both a date and time.
I then have a form containing two fields where the user can type a 'To' and 'From' date to extract the records that they are interested in. The query behind this uses the 'Between[Enter The Date] And [Enter The Date]' coding.
The problem is that because the field contains a time it doesn't return any records when I run the query.
Can anyone offer a bit of guidance on how I could ignore the time part of the field perhaps by adapting the above.
I have a column/field named [DateTaken] which contains test dates and times in the same cell. I am needing to find those with a test time less than 2:30 pm or <14:30pm.
I have a query based on a table which has a date field. the field both in the table and the query have the time also in the date value so when I try to query on a date I get nothing if I copy the date and time from the field I will get the result for that record if I just use the date I get nothing. I have tried the format which does display just date but if you click on the field the time is also there You must be able to query for a date only and get all the records.
In VBA, how to compare date variable with date/time field from table, as when defined the data type in table, date/time option is the only choice for date data type even though I don't want the time portion.
I think this is probably a simple solution for some of you.
I have a database containing records for which I need to set dates to follow up on.
I would like to ensure that the date that is entered is a business day (So that when I run my follow up report for the day - I don't end up missing items that were inadvertantly entered for a weekend!)
I have hunted around for a similar thread - but have not found anything.
I am thinking that a simple bit of validation could be entered for the field properties.
I am trying to compare a value in my databse produced by the date() function, short date format, to one that is exactly 24 hours after the value recorded by the date() function. If the value in the database is 24 hours prior to the current date(), I need to flag a text box a diffrent color to alert the user. I am unsure on the If statement that I will need to produce this result.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks Mikeco555
How can I create a field in a query, extracting the date portion of a date/time field? The format is mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss. I need just the mm/dd/yyyy so I can prompt the user for a date range, without them having to key in the date mm/dd/yyyy 00:00:00 to mm/dd/yyyy 23:59:59. Please Help
I have a form I would like to validate input on. The field UpdatedResponsibilityCode can be updated but it can only have certain values based on the PaymentResponsibilityCode. Is there a way to force this validation?
If UpdatedResponsibilityCode = 4 then PaymentResponsibilityID can not equal 1
i would like some help on how to validate a user's entry in a form. i have a query that calculates number of hours remaining for a particular customer. when a user submits the number of hours used on the form, i want to check that this value does not exceed the number of hours they have remaining. and display a message box if they dont have enough hours remaining. any suggestions on how best to do this? the query has a where statement like 'WHERE customer = customer_code' so customer_code is entered by the user. how do i set this so that the value for customer_code is taken from a field on the form?
I've done some looking into how to validate in Access and I found how to do it for an entire field but I was wondering if it's possible to validate a single record in a field.
Hello buddies :D, do you have any idea how to make this work?
To select data that falls within this criteria of date range between cboDate and cboDate2 (fields on my form). The date in [tblJobDetails]![timeIn] come in this format "08/17/06 10:24 AM", but the cboDate/cboDate2 (takes in date only e.g 08/17/06) what i am after is to evaluate specific hard coded time in addition to the date entered, i.e. even tho, i haven't entered time on the cboDate/cboDate2, I want specific time hard coded where e.g If i select a date range of 08/17/06 and 08/18/06 on my cboDate and cboDate2 it should really be evaluating: 08/17/06 8:00 AM to 08/18/06 8:00 AM.
This is the criteria i curentlly have on my query in design view tha works perfect in selecting date only. ([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Is Null) And ([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Is Null) How can I incorporate 8:00am to 8:00am into my cboDate and cboDate2. What can i do to make this happen? Your kindness will be greatly appreciated http://www.naijaryders.com/forums/images/smilies/thankyou.gif
Access 2007 / I'm creating a database form that has a combo box drop down pulling EmployeeName and a free text field to enter a password. I need the password entry validated against the password stored in a column on the same row as the Employee Name selected from the combo box when a button is clicked. . IF, that value is validated, I need the button click to also record a "time in" or "clock in" entry in a different table.how to validate the password.
I 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.
I am running some code to work on a table and I want to blank a date field. It is a stock control system where when a vessel is emptied I would like the updated field to become blank as it is empty and therefore has no history (this is stored in another table.)
The code I have tried to us is; (where updated is a date/time field)
Else rst![Updated] = " " rst![Volume] = "0" End If rst.Update rst.Close
The message I am getting is 'Data type conversion error'.
I have a form that contains two text fields i.e.; [Scat_text] and [STyp], which each can be changed by the users. I would like to combine the results of the two fields together and validate if the results exists in a query. What would be the best way to accomplish this?
I have a database with date and time each stored in a separate field. Now I want to query the database based on a start date/time and an end date/time. I started with the code below but it only returns events within the same time range on each day when what I really need is every event from a specified date and time through a specified date and time.
SELECT myTable.ID AS myTable_ID, myDate, myTime, FirstName, LastName FROM Staff INNER JOIN myTable ON Staff.ID = myTable.StaffID WHERE myTable.myDate >= #3/2/2014# AND myTable.myDate <= #3/3/2014# AND myTable.myTime >= #8:00PM# AND myTable.myTime <= #11:00PM# ORDER BY myDate desc
In the above example what I want is every event from 3/2/2014 8:00PM until 3/3/2014 11:00PM. But what I get instead is every event between 8:00PM and 11:00PM on 3/2/2014 and every event between 8:00PM and 11:00PM on 3/3/2014.
Right now to get my Access database into MySQl I have to copy it out of Access into Excel then I export it to a delimited text file.
I would like to eliminate the Excel part and go directly from Access to a text file.
The problem is with the date fields. When exporting from Access it always adds the time (00:00:00) which MySQL chokes on. It seems there should be a way to do this with the export function, so that the date is just the date and no time.
