Problem With SQL Date Query (Todays Date)
Hi there,

Having a problem getting an SQL query to work when searching a database for todays date (basically a reminder package).

Here's the query

Set MyRecSet = MyConn.Execute("SELECT CoxRef, CompanyName, ContactName, postcode, tel FROM Reminders WHERE ReminderDate = #(date)# ")

Have tried all sorts of different things such as '&(date)&'") etc.

Only works when I type the date in like so .. WHERE ReminderDate = 15/02/2005

Any ideas please ?

Reading Todays Date / Display Data
I'm writing a small address program and wish that it will display a list of birthdays/anniversaries that are happening 'today' when the form loads.

As I have the control version of VB I am unable to read from a database, so I thought that I would just list them - but can I get VB to read a list and recognise 'todays' date?

A direct to research would be helpful, Cheers

Monthview DayBold Works, But Resets To Todays Date.
This is a pretty easy task I think, but I wanted to run this by everyone on the forum.

My program revolves around a monthview control. The user clicks the date they want to work with and off they go. What I'd like to do is have the monthview control show the days in bold where data has been entered into the database. That way the user can see at a glance (one month at a time) where they've entered data.

I think the easiest way to do this is to find the first and last day of the month their working in then run a query that selects distinct dates from the database where they fall in between the first and last days of the month. At that point I can loop through and say if there is a match, bold the day...if not, move to the next day.

So I guess all I need is how to find the first and last days of a month based on where the user is currently sitting in the monthview control.

Q.1 - Adding Todays Date To The Write File When Saving And Q.2 - Appending
I would like to know if I could add a statement to the write command somewhere in the following code, so the file would write Todays date at the end in date format MM/DD/YY:

As the text in my write file looks like this:

"Flower - Lilac",2,5.22,10.44

Could I get it to add TODAYS date automatically to read

"Flower - Lilac",2,5.22,10.44,03/07/04

My code now reads:

**************************************************
Private Sub cmdWriteQuotation_Click()
    Dim pintCurrentItem As Integer
    Dim pstrFileName As String
    Dim psngTotal As Single


    pstrFileName = _
        InputBox("Enter the filename", "Write File")
    If pstrFileName <> vbNullString Then
        Open pstrFileName For Output As #1
        For pintCurrentItem = 0 To _
            lstQuotedExtPrice.ListCount - 1
            Write #1, _
                lstQuotedProduct.List(pintCurrentItem), _
                Val(lstQuotedQty.List(pintCurrentItem)), _
                Val(lstQuotedPrice.List(pintCurrentItem)), _
                Val(lstQuotedExtPrice.List(pintCurrentItem))
        Next

    psngTotal = 0
    For pintCurrentItem = 0 To _
        lstQuotedExtPrice.ListCount - 1
        psngTotal = psngTotal + _
            lstQuotedExtPrice.List(pintCurrentItem) * 1.06
        ' Above line computes Sales Tax directly into total


    Next
    txtTotal.Caption = Format(psngTotal, "Currency")


End If
        Close #1

End Sub
****************************************************
Also, when I pull this data into an Access Table it leaves the .44 off the total price of 10.44 as from the line below: why?

"Flower - Lilac",2,5.22,10.44 (It pulls the 5.22 just fine, but the 10.44 it gives me 10)

Also someone told me how to append the write file here earlier by using the Append command with the For statement, but can't get that to work...could someone give me a clue how to change this Statement to append all new input to the same text file.

My existing code is above and if you can show me how to use the append command I'd sure appreciate this too...

Thank you

Retrieve A List Of Files Changed Since A Certain Date/time
I am trying to find out an efficient way of retrieving a list of files that have been changed since a certain date/time. Ofcourse it is possible to get the full list of files in a directory and one by one check for the date and time it has been changed but I am wondering if there is a quicker way of building up such a list. The standard filelistbox only has a pattern method of decreasing a list of files for all I know. Maybe there is a way using API functions?

Any suggestions are welcome...

I want to use this to collect files from some servers on a frequent basis but I do not want to copy all of them again and again.

Date Files > Read Them Backwards From First Date > Access
all,

i posted a question on the access database forums,

http://www.tek-tips.com/gviewthread.cfm/lev2/4/lev3/27/pid/701/qid/581404

but i believe this is going to be a visual basic application of some sort.

basically, i want to create a button on my switchboard that will look at the dates in my table and from the last date entered (or the newest) it will add 7 years to it, from the computers clock.

from here, i can create a query that will delete these (e.g. newest date + 7 years (from first date to computers date) = purge)

does anyone have an idea on how i should go about this? i figure its not going to be a few clicks and lines of text... but something more complicated.

thanks all,

Luke

Given Todays Computers What Are The Limitations Of VB W/ DX?
Just wondering, Im new to the whole VB scene and was wondering what if any limitations exist with VB and DX given todays computers. My two main interests are 1st person shooters and terrain engines. All 3d of course, are these things going to be possible with VB? I see tons of games that people make on the forum, which are very cool btw, but they are all 2d. All the ones i see anyway, is this because vb sucks for 3d?
My ultimate goal is too have a joyriding game where you can choose a small plane or a car and take joyride over a troical island or something to that effect. Is this something I can someday expect to do with VB and DX?

Thanks

Sorting A Date Field In The List?
I have a list, that displays there columns,one of them is a date field and when I go into properties I can assign sorting properties for each of those column,so that is what I have done.

But the product of the date field sort is that the field is sorted like (1 apr 1999, 1 apr 2000) so it really sorts by the first digit, insted of looking at the date as a whole.

i am not aware if we can do anything to get this to sort the way I need it, and if not how would you do it and can it be done, I am sure it can.

Thanks

Message Box To Capture List Of Expiry Date
Dear all,

I have 3 worksheets representing product A, B and C to monitor the expiry dates of each product. All these worksheets have same format with column A for Product Code and column B for Expiry Date. The expiry dates are sorted in ascending order.

My requirement are:
1) A message box will remind me with product code if it is going to expire within 7 days.
2) After the prompt message of each expired products, I would like to have a final message box which list down all the expired products from worksheet 1, 2 and 3.

Recordsets & Order List Data By Date
Number1:
Basically I would like imgReports(0) and (1) to show an image with the most orders for that "item", in other words, the most records that point to the same "item". And if there were the same amount of orders for many items, then a message box will appear. I hope this makes sense.

Number2:
Where lstSales has items added to it's list, I would like the list to be sorted with the latest orders, so the newest will be on the top of the list. The list should only show the latest 20 or so orders however, so if there were 100 orders in the DB then the other 80 won't be shown.

Thanks for your time.

Code:
Dim L As String
Dim M As String
L = rsStats!Image1
M = rsStats!Image3
imgReports2(0).Picture LoadPicture(L)
imgReports2(1).Picture LoadPicture(M)

List View Sort In Date Order
Hi everyone, I'm stumped... maybe someone has an answer in this forum.
I have a listview that has 3 columns, one of them is just a simple description, the other is a numeric name, and the third is a date. I need to be able to sort in descending order when clicking on the header of each column. The description field is no problem, I just use listview.sort. The problem is when I try to sort dates, if I use the same thing I get 8/01/01 before 12/01/01 because 8 comes after 1 alphabetically... is there anyway to do this? I can only think of clearing the listview, sort the dates and then load them to the listview again, but that would take too long... and it seems like going the long way about it.
Please help!

Sorting On DATE Columns In MS List View
Does anybody know how to get this to work?

The listview seems only capable of accepting strings as it's items so dates have to be converted to text and therefore are sorted as text.

ActiveX Combo Box - Date/time List
Hi,
I'm trying to use an activeX combo box to select a date/time from a list and expect the selected date to display in the linked cell.
The list is fine but when I select an entry the combo box entry changes to excel's number representation of date/time not the dd/mm/yy hh:mm
that the selection list provides.

Can the system be made to show date/time - I already have the spreadsheet working using bog standard excel Combo boxes but ActiveX is giving me a headache
I'm using WIN/OFFICE 2K if that makes a difference.

Any pointers would be appreciated, Thanks!
