I want to display today's date on a form. No connection to a table or anything like that just a label or such. I have a placed a text box on the form and set the Control Source to '=Date()' and it displays the date in a short form, eg. 11/11/2014.
What I want to do is display it in what I think is called Medium Date so that it displays as 11-Nov-2014. I suspect I need to place something inside those parentheses, but what?
Say I have a form and the user inputs a date, say "21/02/2014" into a text box, how can I get another text box on the form to display the day afters date ("22/02/2014").
I'm sure its really easy but I cant seem to get it to work.
I have main form call frmemployee and subform call frmlcourse subform the main form hold's employee information e.g. first name addresss the sub form hold's all the training courses that the employee has been on
I have a text box called txtnextcourse due to display when the next course due date is
Code:
=DMin("Expirydate","tblcourses","[ID]=" & [empID])
this works perfect. I have check box on my subform called ex course if this is true. I don't want the dmin to count that record I have tried
Code:
=DMin("Expirydate","tblcourses","[ID]=" & [empID]) [forms]![frmlcourse subform]![ex course]=false
I also have a query that displays a date, I would like this date to be displayed within the textbox, not sure how to do this?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI need a textbox to display the first/earliest date from a table.

Is there a way to make a form that will display all records based on a single date, at the same time, in the same format each and every time?I have a table which has the following fields:
ID (Autonumber, PK)
ServiceDate
RunningNumber
BonnetNumber
Deallocate (yes/no)
Now, I would quite like to keep the form in a style similar to all the others I have, not least as I have to cater for users of all age and abilities, so keeping things as simple. I have attached an image - each row to represent a record basically, I would like the form to open and show the same layout on each day (I would place the textboxes etc in route groups); a null value would not be allowed for at least one field in each record, I could force the records to populate the form in the same way each day?
hi, i have created a form and would like to display todays date and time in the following format
Mon 6 June 2005 24:00
this will literally be just on the form, no link to anything or any extra dynamic features. just there for the user's benefit
if anyone could tell me the steps that need to be taken, im guessing some formatting will need to be done, or some script will need to be placed in the form event code builder.
i have only recently focused my attention on ms access so a descriptive but to the point explanation will be ideal thanks
If I key in to the control source of a text box "=Date()-184" I will get the date 6 months ago but if I tried the same of 06/10/05 I will lose a day because of the 30/31 day months. Does anybody know another way around this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two fields in a form that are both bound to the same date/time control source. One is for the date, one for the time. Using the format and input mask properties is some help. But when the focus is on the field the entire date + time displays. I would like the date field to show just the date portion and the time to show just the time portion, but haven't figured out how yet.
thanks, roy
I am having an issue with the sort order on a subform.
Basically I have a main form with Client Details and a subform hich displays the associated test results for this client. Each client can have multiple test results which should be displayed in date order.
Initially the form was based on the table 'TestResults' and I set up the form with the Orderby property set to the field 'TestDate' and OrderByOnLoad set to True. This didn't work and the records were displayed in random order.
Next I tried setting up the form based on an SQL query with the field 'TestDate' sorted in Ascending order - same result. Tried this with OrderBy and OrderByOnLoad both set/unset as a pair and individually - always the same result.
How can I get the subform to display the test results in date order?
I have set up a form and only want to display the date and time that will appear automatically based on when the record was created. I definitely don't know how to do this.
The format that I'm looking for is: 07/24/13 11:45:44pm
From what I can see I would need two separate fields to accomplish this. I would prefer to only use one if possible. I would like to execute the value within the new record as it is entered. That date and time from that point should never change.
I will want to use the date and time in the future for quality control.
Component that is capable of putting a timeline on an Access form and displaying records with a date-time field.
What I want, is for example:
tabevents contains two basic fields:
eventtime (datetime)
eventname (string)
eventcomplete (bool)
What I want to place on the form is a visual timeline which calculates the time between the first and last event and places all events accordingly along the line, spaced out, ideally with an arrow/marker that moves along the line as time progresses, highlighting any events that haven't been marked as complete. Double clicking on the event would allow us to mark it as complete.
I know this is a long shot, but thought it worth seeing if such a thing exists.

What I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.
So what I want to do is display all the related equipment features in a listbox that is related to the current PK of that form.So if there is only one feature on one form the list box will only display that one item however is there is 6 features on another it will display all 6.I have been trying SQL and Queries but I still can't get it to work.
How can I display the count value from a query on a subform for the related/selected record?
I've tried a DLookUp without success (the text box remains empty):
=DLookUp("[CountOfMethodID]","Methods count","[MethodsRungVisitID] = Form![Form4b]")
Here's my table/query/form info:
Query is called "Methods Count"
Field of that query which I want displayed on the sub form is "CountOfMethodID"
Sub form is "Quarters and peals sub"
Main form is "Form4b"
Both form and sub are parent/child linked
There is a Relationship between the VisitID field in the "Visit Dates" table and the MethodsRungVisitID field of the "Methods Rung" table.
I am putting together a database in access 2013.
I need to put in a form which basically lists all the clients names, with a button next door to each name, allowing them to edit their details. Is this possible.
Basically when loading the form, all client names are displayed in alphabetical order. Clicking on the edit button next door to the client, displays the client details in another form for easy editing. How can I do this .
I have a field called PriceSoldFor and I need to calculate and display this field multiplied by 3.4%. This is what I have tried and reading elsewhere it should work.In the Control Source of an unbound TextBox I have entered the following:
=[PriceSoldFor]*[.034]
But when I view the form the field displays the following:
#Name?
How can I control the display of fields in a form? I see in a given database, that in the design view that some fields exist in a form but in the form-view some of them are not displayed.
I can't find how it was done, i see no difference in the fields' properties. Another question is how can i make a comboBox to display just the text without the ID number...
Display data from Query into Form..I am attaching the database dbtest.zip which contains a table, couple of queries and form.I have done what ever settings I could after going thru some tutorials / discussion forums online, but to no avail.
All that I want is, when I open the form "frmtest" in "form view", and select CS in Combo 8, the corresponding fields in the form viz Item name, Sl No and System Name should get updated on the form. I want to view it in "Single Form" format.

I have created a database to track our contacts for the office. I spent some time working on the relationships and making sure everything was normalized, as I've only just recently understood that concept. However, I'm afraid something got messed up in the process and I may have missed a step or done something wrong when creating the relationships.
Basically, I just created the form with all of my fields in it and when I try to view the form I see that no fields display (it's just a blank white screen). I wondered if I should actually be creating the form based off tblcontact, and then add subforms for each of the other tables.
See my attached database for further reference ...
I have a form that displays employee details. I've also created a query that calculates the current age of all employees and updates automatically. I've also created a subform that displays the query data.
My question is, how do I get the query data to display on my main form? Can I do it directly from the query or do I have to use the subform? There are multiple columns on the form and I want to add it as a new column that displays the same as the rest but continues to update automatically.
I am working on a database where I want some specific information displayed on a form, preferably on the form header. I want to display this on all of my forms. In a standard module, I have a code segment that runs a query returning values, and I assign those values to my public variables. I run this code segment triggered by "on activate" of each form.
The variables contain an Event Date, and an Event Name. I want this information to appear on each form. How do I get this data onto my form as part of the form header, or if cannot put on header section, then in the detail section?
I have a form with a memo field which is used by users to input transctiptions of Customer Contacts but the form is getting busy and the box now only 2.77 wide X 0.683 High.
this makes it impossible to read on the form even as a text box with scrolling..how to add a mouse over on it so that it fires up a large text/meg style box to display the contents?
