Could someone please help.
I have to fields in a form for a membership database that I want to relate to each other, 'date joined' and 'expires on'.
I have been trying to build an expression in the 'expires on' field that calculates the date which would be 12 months from the date entered in the 'date joined' field.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks

I'm trying to get my "IncidentDate" field to autopopulate two other date fields to a few days from the "IncidentDate". The other two date fields are "ContainDueDate" and "RootDueDate". I'm trying to accomplish this on my "Test CAP Form"
I tried using the following in the BeforeUpdate of "ContainDueDate" and received a complier error: expected =
Code : DateAdd(d,2,[IncidentDate])
so I removed the parenthesis and nothing happened
Code : DateAdd d,2,[IncidentDate]
I even tried redoing it in the AfterUpdate of "IncidentDate" and nothing happened either
Code : DateAdd d,2,[ContainDueDate]
I'm not sure if I'm even using the right function to get what I want.
In a date field is it possible for a date that is in the future to be hi-lighted in a different colour.
E.g. todays date is 25/03/14
So anything with todays date or previous would stay in black
24/03/14
25/03/14
but anything from 26/03/14 forward would be in red
26/03/14
Then will change to black when the 26th comes.
I've two fields to work with:
[Date of Device]
[DischDate]
If i was explaining it, it would be as follows:
If [DischDate] Is in the next month after [Date of Device] then Y else N.
to add for example if the [Date of Device] is April 2015, and the [DischDate] is also April then i'd expect a N answer
to add for example if the [Date of Device] is April 2015, and the [DischDate] is May then i'd expect a Y answer
Hi, All...
Can someone tell me how to calculate a future date in a bound field on a form? The form includes "date created", "life expectancy" and "review date" fields, all bound to the same table. I want the "review date" to be calculated by adding the "life expectancy" (number field, in days) to the "date created" field. I found some posts that were similar but none using bound fields.
Thanx so much for you help with this...I've spent quite a lot of time trying to come-up with a solution...to no avail.
Thanx ;<)

I have a form for the user to enter new units which arrive in our warehouse, one field in DOM (Date of manufacture) which cannot be a date in the future obviously but could be todays' date. there is table level input mask to make the date 00/00/0000.i have this code on the form:
Private Sub dom_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.DOM > Date Then
MsgBox "Please enter a Valid DOM", vbInformation, "Check again !!"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
which doesn't accept any date whether it's today, last week, last year or in the future!
Hey all,
I'm designing a query that must calculate a future date based on a recorded date. Unfortunately it's not as simple as just using adddate (unless I was using Excel!). Here's my requirements:
Future Date = [StartDate] + 45 business days
I am able to take weekends into account, but haven't been able to figure out how to bring holidays into the equation. I have an existing holidays table that I am using for another query within the database (calculates # of business days between 2 existing dates).
Hope this makes sense... I've been staring at it all day so I may not be thinking clearly anymore.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am trying to find a simple way to determine the work date based on knowing the Start date and how many days ahead I want the date for. These means I need to exclude weekends and holidays.
I tried Pat Hartmans solution located at
[URL]
I discovered that the function in there that is supposed to do this does not account for weekends, only holidays.
I am very new to access and I am trying to figure out how to build an expression for one of my fields. I have a field called Order Date, which holds the date of when an order is filled. I then have another field called Fill By Date. This new field I want to be 2 weeks after the Order Date. Is there a way to auto fill this information so that when I enter a date into the Order Date, it will enter the date that is 2 weeks after into the Fill by Date?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm currently building my first database for a research project. When we enroll a participant, we need to have an enrollment date/time as well as an activation date/time (and they are not allowed to be the same because, rules). I was able to figure out how to auto-populate the current date/time when we've marked a person as enrolled. What I'm wondering is if it is also possible to auto-populate another field with the date/time, ten minutes in the future?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am dabbling in updating an existing database.Currently our staff enter data via a form and I have this set up using the below script to automatically complete the "Due date" field with a date 5 working days ahead of the current date, saving them from having to manually enter this date each time.
Code:
Public Function PlusWorkdays(dteStart As Date, intNumDays As Long) As Date
PlusWorkdays = dteStart
Do While intNumDays > 0
[code].....
This then updates the value on the relevant form object using the default value "PlusWorkdays(Date(),5)" to give a date 5 working days ahead. the problem I face is that due to our business process at 15:30 each day our due date needs to change to 6 working days from todays date rather than 5. I was wondering if there is a simple way I can modify the script to add an extra working day when the local time hits a specified point (15:30 in this case), unfortunately this is a bit outside my abilities currently!
Querying a field for a number of days from today's date but not had a lot of luck finding how to query this from a date in the future.
Currently I have as criteria for the relevant field:
Code:
<[Period Start (dd/mm/yy - less 5 years from financial year end)]
which prompts for a parameter but using this I have to figure out the date 5 years from the future date first and then enter this.
Surely there must be code that allows me to simply enter the date, in the prompt and this then shows me data of 5 years or older equipment!?
I have a query that I want to return "due by 9/8/14" if the [Grace] field is blank or if the date in that field is before 9/8/14. If the date in the field is after 9/8/14, I want it to return "valid through (the date in the field)"
I wrote: MedWords: IIf([Grace]=Null,"due 9/8/14",IIf([Grace]<9/8/14,"due 9/8/14","valid through " & [Grace])) and all I get is "valid through" and either blank, or whatever date is in the [Grace] field.
I have a query with an expression as follows in criteria:
Between #1/1/2012# And #1/1/2012#
I want to pass into that expression a value from another table.
So, I created a table, DateRange, with fields StartDate and EndDate
Then, I modified my expression as follows:
Between [DateRange]![StartDate] And [DateRange]![EndDate]
Which, of course, didn't work, as the expression didn't know which 'row' to use.
I one of my tables, I have a date field (DateCompleted) with the format: mm/dd/yyyy
Now, I want to create a query which would create another field (DateExpected) by using the date in the above table and adding 5 months to the date.
The only issue is that for the new field in the query I want it just to have mm/yyyy format.
For example, if the original date in the table is 04/05/2006, after running the query, I would have a new field 09/2006.
Does anyone know the exact expression I would put in the query? Thanks. The expression would be put in the "build" area.
Thanks for your help!!
Hi,
I'm sure this is a very obvious question for someone, but not so much for myself. I just need a date range formula for a query. I want the query to ask me the start date and also ask the end date and pull up all dates falling in between.
Anyone know a formula?
Hello people - I am building an APPEND and DELETE Query which deletes STUDENTS in my Camera Loans database who have not borrowed a camera in more than two years.
In the query structure, under DATE_BORROWED, I put the expression <=Date()-730 (where 730 = 365 days x 2.)
However, upon running the query it gave back to me the earliest loan date of the student, (so their first loan date and details basically)
It ignores the more recent loans, so deleting this appended record would be a mistake.
Now I need an expression in a duplicated DATE_BORROWED field in the query structure that picks out the most RECENT date out of them all, the other field running the check on this most recent date to see if it is older than two years.
Surely there is some code or expression that pulls the most recent date out only of a whole series in a record? Or a criteria is performed on the rmost ecent loan only?
Help appreciated, thanks.
Neil.
I am having a problem with a datediff expression.I have a query that pulls the first date and the last date out of a list but are put in seperate fields. I thought I could build an expression for datediff to calculate the number of dates between them. I can't just put in the dates because they are constently changing.The expression I have is:
[datediff("d",[min/max edging unit #2]![firstofupdate/time by month],[min/max edging unit #2]![lastofupdate/time by month])]
Hi all,
I need to be able to add x months to a given date which I'm using in a criteria expression. I've figured out that I can just add y number of days, but the answers aren't quite accurate across different ranges of months.
I'm after something like
<[BeginDate] And >([BeginDate]+[3months])
but I haven't turned up anything useful in an hour of googling - finding it difficult to define what I want in search engine terms.
Cheers,
Alex
I want this expression to form a value of a field on a query...
I know that what I want is something like this:
arrangedActivityName: [activityDate]+", "+[activityTime]+", "+[activityId]+", "+[venueName]
When I do it though, its shows "#Error" in the field.
I'm guessing that its something to do with the fact that date and time are not strings or ints therefore cannot be displayed. How can I fix this?
Does anyone know how I can do it?
Thanks, Ant...
So I have a database of contacts, and it has their birthdays listed as well. What I need to do is calculate the number of Fridays from their birthday up until today's date. How do I do this? Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been struggling with the following expression:
=DSum("[FieldName]","TableName","[FieldName]>=" & [Forms]![FormName]![textbox01]& " and " &[FieldName]<= " & [Forms]![FormName]![textbox02] & "")
I keep getting invalid syntax (Access 2007). I tried adding the # symbols but no success.
I also need to put an additional criteria for a Integer field in the same expression where the value is True.
I'm trying to add a calculated field which will be the time difference between two other date/time fields.
When I try to make a Calculated Field it does not recognize the DateDiff command.
Is there a preferred method to create a calculated field based on date/time differences? One would think this would be an easy thing to do.
I have a query that I want to "filter" based on a date derived from a Build statement (Expression). The Build statement works I can even sort by "Ascending".. But when I try to add a "Between [Startdate] And [Enddate] statement in the Criteria box, returns nothing".
Build statement : ReInvestDate: IIf([Eligibility]="SCI",DateAdd("d",+1825,[PrevInvestDate]),IIf([Eligibility]="TS",DateAdd("d",+1825,[PrevInvestDate]),IIf([Eligibility]="S",DateAdd("d",+3650,[PrevInvestDate]))))
I am attempting to create an expression that will change the font to red if it is an overdue date. It will be on a form with the records showing.
My datebase is for entering, changing, and searching for information dealing with orientation dates, contacts, and associations. My data sheet holds the company name, employee name, date of orientation, due date (orientations are completed annually), contact employee, and status. I would like the date, when opening the form, to show red if it is past due. how to create an expresion to return the status as "Current" or "Overdue", as I am still unsure which method I want to use.
I am getting something wrong but I don't know what - date related.
Take this code for example:
Code:
Dim varDate
varDate = Date
If DCount("RunningNumber", "AllocatedVehicles", "ServiceDate=" & varDate) > 0 Then
MsgBox "Go Away", vbOKOnly
Else
Go on and do the real work
End If
End Sub
The DCount line is being completely ignored, no error message, it just cracks on as though there were no records found (but they are definitely there!) I have tried:
Code:
Dim varDate
varDate = Date
If DCount("RunningNumber", "AllocatedVehicles", "ServiceDate='" & varDate & "'") > 0 Then
MsgBox "Go Away", vbOKOnly
But that throws up a Type Mismatch (which is what I would expect). Then I tried
Code:
Dim varDate
varDate = Date
If DCount("RunningNumber", "AllocatedVehicles", "ServiceDate=#" & varDate & "#") > 0 Then
MsgBox "Go Away", vbOKOnly
And it gets ignored again.
I am having similar trouble trying to open another form using the same field as the open argument, and getting similar results, so it is clearly me that is wrong.
