Hello
I'm currently doing a query, when a report is received, we enter a date, i would like a query which would show records where the received date has not been entered. i have tried putting in isnull() but does not work.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Hi all,I'm working on a library database for a small collection.I have two fields, 'Date Out' and 'Date IN'. Is it possible that whatever date is written for the date taken out, I can set the 'Date IN' to be 7 days later than that date?Thanks in advance.

Hi again
I've done some searching on this question and it seem everyone is pointing to the DateAdd function, so here is my current problem.
I have a date/time field called SponsorshipContractDate. When a contract is signed the date is entered. I need the system to calulate the renewal date for the contract which is alway 1 year ahead.
The DateAdd function works only if I hard code at date into it e.g.
DateAdd ("yyyy", 1, "01-Jan-08")
But as contracts are signed throughout the year this just doesn't work so I tried this:
DateAdd ("yyyy", 1, "SponsorshipContractDate") but the table won't save and this is abviously not right. In my head it makes sense but I don't understand how to get the formula to look at another field during it's calculations
Am I using the wrong function?
I will keep looking around.
Thanks heaps
Hello everyone. I am wanting to store the date the record was entered into the table. But I don't want the users to have to type this in; I thought that Access could grab the date from the system date.
I am new to this and I looked at the Date function but I am thinking it will just always update to the current system date.
Thank you very much if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Hello, all;
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.
Any ideas?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

How do I get same result in Access?
tried
Field 'PRN', a text field set as default =""""& left([first name],2}+LEFT(Last name],3), date()&""""
Access accepted the above statement but when I input user details the default doesn't work.
I am looking to (on the mainform) have the user enter into a text box whatever date they would like to enter and have that value become the current date of the system. So that all operations are based off of this newly entered date.

We are creating a database to log data on a project. There will be thousands of files. Can we input data, using the same table, at separate locations and then merge the data into a master table? We will need to do that many times.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a text box where the user enters a date and then clicks a button titled "Add." I've added an on-click event to the Add button that runs an append query that adds several records to a table [tblTracking]. I have a field in tblTracking called EndDate. I want the date that's entered into the text box by the user to be populated into all the new records added to the tblTracking when the append query is run. Currently, all fields in tblTracking are populated when the append query is run, except the EndDate field.
Is this possible? If so, how?
I've experimented with adding a separate on-click event that adds a record to a separate table containing only the date entered in the textbox and an auto-populated ID field. I thought there might be a way to utilize the ID field to pull the associated EndDate into the Tracking table, but I can't figure that out, either, since I don't know how to tell it to look at the date field in the last record of the table. That sounds unsafe anyway.
I am trying to add the current date and time into separate fields after an ID is entered.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub ID_AfterUpdate()
Me.Date_Received = Date()
Me.Time_Received = Format(Now(), "hh:mm AMPM")
End Sub
I need to create a New Form control for this situation:
If I enter a date into a field and the choice for another field is equal to a certain value. How can I get the date I entered to be automatically populated into another date field.
For example:
If I enter 11/10/2005 in a date field and I choose either "BN", "BA", or "BT" in a text field, I need that date of 11/10/2005 to be automatically populated in another date field on the same form.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am fairly new to access but so far I have been able to get what i need from it, until now. I am trying to find a way of comparing two sets of data to find out an employee's average productivty.
Table 1 -Hours Worked (by day)
- contains 'name' 'date' and '# of hours' worked
- an employee would enter the hours here on a daily basis
Table 2 - Contracts Keyed (by month)
- contains the number of contracts worked that is derived from seperate system
- this is entered on a monthly basis (so for example: John keyed 30 contracts for the month of January)
- the system i am pulling this info from does not have the ability to pull a daily count of contract per employee, only a range of dates and it then provides the sum for that range (unless I ran a query for each day, for each employee which would take me hours)
- employees dont have access to this system to enter their own # of contracts keyed on a daily basis.
- for entry, so far i have just been putting the first of the month and then the # of contracts.
In a nutshell, this is the calculation I am trying to create:
(Sum of "# of hours" for the month) / (total "# of contracts keyed" for the month) = employees average hourly productivity.
I have tried to do this with various types of queries and reports but with no luck, I get a prompt saying that access can't compare the 2 fields.
Is there a way to compare the data that is entered daily with the data i would enter monthly?
Is it possible to put a "tag" (probably the wrong term) on individual record entries? So that on a shared database the administrator could see who entered what. That way if there is a problem the administrator would know who to speak to or who needs retraining/firing ha:)
Ive looked around and havent come up with anything.
Thanks
Hi folks,
I have this situation: a table with patients information and IDs, and a table with evaluations for those patients (identified by ID).
I am trying to make it so that the user can't add the same evaluation twice. I want to do it by checking if there is already an evaluation for that patient with the same date.
I know how to show evaluations only for a patient, but I don't know how to check if the value entered by the user in the date field is a duplicate (case in which he shouldn't be allowed to enter it). I assume this is done somehow through the "validation rule" property? But how should the expression be?
Thanks a lot!
Gurus,
I seriously need some help with the following.
What I need to do is when I enter the data in the form and before I go to the next record I want to save this row in the table and then insert two more rows with the same values (that I just entered and saved in the table) while incrementing the index field. I also want to programatically manipulate a field value in the second and third rows that I will insert before commiting.
For Example:
Tbl-A
Reg_Num Number (Index)
Name Text (30)
Reg_Type Text (1)
Category Text (10)
Sub_Category Text (10)
Short_Desc Text (10)
Long_Desc Text (50)
1st row:
10001, "PSUS", "A","CREDIT CARD", "FEE", "CCF", "CREDIT CARD FEE"
After I enter these values I click on "SAVE" button. When I click on save, I want to insert the same row twice (notice Reg_Num and Reg_Type values) in the table and increment Reg_Num and change the value of Reg_Type.
2nd row:
40001, "PSUS", "W","CREDIT CARD", "FEE", "CCF", "CREDIT CARD FEE"
3rd row:
60001, "PSUS", "X","CREDIT CARD", "FEE", "CCF", "CREDIT CARD FEE"
As you see, I am incrementing the index field value by 30,000 if Reg_Type is "W" and by 50,000 if the Reg_Type is "X". What it means is copy the row that I just entered, insert it in the table, change the Reg_Type value and increment Reg_Num based on the business rule. COMMIT. Do the same for the next row.
I have about 20 Fields in the table. I do not want the user to type 10 times the same values and make mistakes. This is just an example. I have about 8 different Reg_Types that needs to be stored in the table everytime a new Reg_Num is entered with Type "A". User can enter any Reg_Type but to make my life easier I'm restricting to start from Reg_Type "A". For each Reg_Type the Reg_Num needs to be computed because it is extreamly important in our application.
Hope I explained it right.
Thanks a million in advance.
PS
I would like to check to see if a previous date value has been entered for a specific record and display a message if it has. I have spent some time researching vlookup and vcount but im not quite there in what i want to achieve.
I have a data entry subform, linked to my main form through StairID. The subform is called tblEstateInspection and has a PK called estateinspectionID, stairID is a FK and links it main table.
Like i say i have been investigating what other people have done using dlookup / dcount, what i want to do is check that a specific date has not been entered for another inspection for the same stairID, i guess what i have got below at the moment just looksUp the value and because it is never null the messagebox always shows? How can i ammend it so that if it finds records that have same stairid, checks Inspectiondate field and only shows message if the new date matches old date
Private Sub InspectionDate_AfterUpdate()
Dim strFilter As String
Dim check As Variant
strFilter = Me!StairID
check = DLookup("[inspectiondate]", "tblEstateInspection", "[stairID] =" & strFilter)
If Not IsNull(check) Then
MsgBox "You have entered this exact date for this staircase before, be careful!", vbExclamation
End If
End Sub
Thanks
Hi All,
I've got a form with a series of combo boxes which are dependent on each other, however i keep finding that after ive entered some data and left a record, when i then return to the record, some of the information ive entered has been deleted and the combo box is blank.
I think it must be requerying the combo boxes everytime the record opens but i dont know why, i have only put requerys "OnChange" because that is the only time the dependent combo boxes should be requeried.
Once the info is entered and ive moved on to a new record, i need for it to stay that way when i return to the record and only change again when i edit it.
Help please anyone, its been doing my head in.
Cheers

I have a form that the user will enter data, when the user has finished entering the data, i want them to click on a button, with a yes or no option button on it.
if the user selects yes (approved)......i want the record to be emailed to a few peoples email address.
i was thinking that i could store the email address's in a table and email the record to whoever appears in the list.
if the user selects no (Amend Record)..... i want the set focus to go back to the first field of the last record for Amendment.
Can this be done easy enough ?
if so how please.
Cheers

I have a form with a number of entry fields and after a button is clicked I write to an MS Sql datatable. Everything works fine as long as I put a value in each field. If I do not put a value in one of the fields the sql does not run and the record is not added / updated in the database. I have tried checking the length of the data in the field using
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc)
or
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc.Text)
or
Ent_Length = Len(tb_TagDesc.value) but nothing shows.

Hi there
I have a small problem that I was wondering if someone could help with.
When a user creates a new record I would like it so that some html is written automatically in to a defined column.
Is this possible? I tried to use the default value property of a column but access does not like it.
Any ideas :confused:
Thanks :D
