Automatically Inserting Current Time

Nov 11, 2007

I am trying to get the current time to display in the same record as an identity number.
I am using a barcode scanner to identify the ID number. Using a program called BC Wedge it will place the ID number into a field in a table of the database. I also want it to record the current time the ID number was scanned.
I tried setting the default value of the 2nd field to Now(), however this does record the current time, but in a new record. This basically gives me a list of ID numbers from the barcode scanner and a list of recorded times, however all the times are one record out.

Is there anyway to get the recorded time to be placed in the same record as the ID number?

As far as I am aware the BC Wedge software needs to have the table in table view, although I may be wrong about this.

Hope somebody can help me with this.

Automatically Inserting A Date When A Item Out Of A List Box Is Selected

Aug 28, 2003

I have a MS Access database, which contains three main tables. With these I have a completed table, which holds either Yes/No within it.

One of the tables, I have linked to the Completed table as a list box, which when a job has been completed, either yes or no can be selected.

But, what I want to happen, is, when the Yes is selected, I want Access to insert the date the 'Yes' was selected, so that the employee cannot lie about the date the job was completed.

Hope I have explained this in a good enough fashion.

I don't have a clue how to go about it, could anyone help.

Inserting Date & Time

Oct 14, 2004

The pest again!!
Please could you tell me how to insert the time into a form?
I have managed to get the date to work using:-

Private Sub Complete_Click() ((This is a yes/no field))
Me![DateComp].Value = Date
End Sub

Private Sub OrderNo_AfterUpdate()
Me![DateOpen] = Null
If Not IsNull(Me![OrderNo]) Then
Me![DateOpen].Value = Date
End If
End Sub

However if I include my [Time] field naught happens.

My format in the field is "Short Time"

Thanks again,

Inserting A Record With A Date/time Field

Feb 2, 2005

Hi,

I'm trying to insert a record into an Access database from some ASP Code.

I have:

...
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblUser (UserID, Date, Comments) VALUES " & _
(" & nID & ", #" & Now() & "#, " & "''" & strComments & "');"
conn.Execute(strSQL)
...

I'd have thought this should work but it doesn't.I just get a "Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement".

My date field, called "Date" (just in case that's a problem!) in my database has no input mask defined, it's just a basic date/time field. I've tried replacing the '#' symbols with single quotes, and doesn't work either. I haven't had any luck finding a definitive example of how to do this, even though it's trivial surely. All the similar examples I've found talk about how to update a record set with a date, or how to set the system locale, etc.

Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?

Queries :: Time Calculation Using Current Time?

Oct 9, 2014

I need a Select Query to display data on a form. When an order is appended to my table the field named Printed is updated with the time it was appended. When my form opens it needs to display the field Printed and a field I call MinutesFromPrint. This field needs to display the total minutes elapsed from the time in the Printed field to the current time. My expression is not working.

MinutesFromPrint: DateDiff("n",[Printed],Now())

Here are a couple of samples of my results when I run the query at 7:49 A.M.:

Printed MinutesFromPrint
2:35 60366554
5:07 60366402

Modules & VBA :: Linking Tables By Auto Inserting A Record Using Current Record

Aug 19, 2013

I have two forms both with separate tables

(1) Register and
(2) Payments.

One of the common denominators between them is the URN which is auto-populated as it is an auto number field. My issue is that when I want to add a new record to the payments table using the forms (I can get to the payments form via the register form), I want to be able to identify the record that I am currently viewing within the register and auto populate the URN field with the same number. This is what I have done so far,

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub AttachPaymentDetails()
Call PerformInsert("tblFinancialBudget", "frmFinancialBudget")
End Sub

[code]....

Modules & VBA :: Automatically Log Out After Certain Time Of Inactivity

Mar 23, 2015

I have the forms all set up and a control panel (switchboard) that opens after the user logs in.... (not web based)

What I am trying to achieve now is a time delay or set timer that will force all the forms etc to close and revert to my "Welcome Screen Form" where the Login button is located.

Essentially I wish to have it automatically log out after a certain time of inactivity... not close the workbook but redirect to the Login area.

Thanks for any help!

Added Current Time On Click Event

I have two fields in my form contained Start time and End time. Currently, Both fields using default Time$() on form. However, End time always wrong because until we get our job done, It took atleast 20 or 30 minutes more than current default time. My question is, is there any way I can setup the End time to just click on it, and a new current default time populated?

Thanks in advance..
