Automatically Inserting Current Time
Nov 11, 2007I 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.

Forms :: Goto Form With Current User And Current Date
Aug 27, 2013What I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..
Reports :: Showing Date Field Differently Depending On Current Date
Nov 23, 2013I have a report that displays simple date fields. One of the fields is "lease execution". On the report, I want "lease execution" to display differently depending on the date the report was run.
So:
- If the "lease execution" date is more than 120 days away from today, I want it to display as Q YYYY.
- If the "lease execution" date is between 120 and 90 days away from today, I want it to display as MM/YYYY
- If the "lease execution" date is 90 days or less away, I want it to display the normal date MM/DD/YYYY
I was thinking I would need to do DateDiff() to figure out an amount of days that's between Now() and [Lease_Execution]. Then based on that amount make the report show it differently. Pseudocode would be: if DateDiff() = 40, then display [lease_execution] as MM/DD/YYYY
Auto Fill Field In A Table By Comparing A Given Date Against Current Date?
Aug 18, 2015I am building a database to track contract of employees so that I can know which contracts are valid and which are expired.
My table has the following fields:
ID (Primary key)
Employee ID (Foreign key to link to the employee table)
Start_Date
End_Date
Status (Either valid or expired)
Challenge
I want when I enter the end date, the system checks the end date against the current date and fills in the status field with either valid or expired as appropriate. For instance if the contract end date is March 10,2016, the status must be filled in the word valid.

Oct 23, 2007Can anyone tell me if the following is possible in a table or do I need to use a form.
I have a check box in a table that when I check it I want it to automatically enter the current date. I also don't want to change the dates that have already been entered manually and that date should only display the date on which the check box was checked. :confused:
It is a database that hold the details of IT equipment and when it is disposed.
I think I may have to use a form but I would like someone to confirm this if it is possible to do in the table could someone also help me implement it.
Thanks in advance

Automatically Inserting A Date When A Item Out Of A List Box Is Selected
Aug 28, 2003I 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.
General :: Fill In Date Automatically When New Record Is Created
Dec 18, 2012I would like to have a date control on a form filled in automatically with the current date when a new record is created (the date would remain as is unless changed manually). I've tried programming it in VB but, being a newbie, have not been able to come up with anything that works. I'm not even sure how to trigger an event to do it just the one time when the record is created.

Jan 29, 2015I am using Access2007. Attached is my database.
I am attempting to track the duration of days since an initial date.
A individual has 3 business days to have their bloodwork/labs drawn after given instructions to do so. 'StartDate'= the initial date. 'LabsDate'= current date(would like it to automatically update to the current date everytime the database is open). BD ElapsedLabs= # of days that has elapsed between the initial day and todays date.
I am able to calculate the #days elapsed no problem, but I am having a problem with 'LabsDate' automatically updating to todays date. I am able to automatically place the current date in the first/ fresh entry, but it fails to update the next day.
I have tried placing the code Me.LabsDate= date() in the Before Update Form Property Sheet. Cannot get it to work.
