I have started my own MS Access Hints and Tips Club (http://msaccesshintsandtips.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=948619%3ABlogPost%3A301) and in an effort to attract new members I am offering a free calendar form.
I haven't seen any other Calendar form (DEMO HERE) (http://www.viddler.com/TonyHine/videos/35/fullscreen)with the advanced features that my calendar form offers, so I hope it's unique. It also benefits from the fact that it is very simple to set up and use on your own form. All you have to do is add two controls a command button to call the calendar form, and a text box to receive date.
you use a simple naming convention:
Command button named: "btnDOB"
Text box named similarly: "txtDOB"
The "DOB" portion can be any text you like as long as both buttons have the same text, >>> "DOB" <<< Any way Have a look at the DEMO at least! (http://www.viddler.com/TonyHine/videos/35/fullscreen)
I am trying to sort data in a free from date filed without success. For example I have 1999-present, Jul 14, 2003-Jun 2004, then 2004-ongoing... Is it possible to sort them? Thank you very much. Debbie
Table ( ID, name, surname , etc etc) Form - I use this form to add new records to my table.
On this Form I should be able to see the ID number ( from next blank record)
So let say I have 1002 records on my table.So on my Form ( while I ma openineg to add new recrd) I sholud see ID=1003 ( so I should see next free ID number)
ID= autonumer
Any idea how to create this little button ( window)????
The correct way is the following: Inc# 2546 ^ capital I, no space between "c" and "#" but a space AFTER the "#"
Then the 4 digit long number.I was thinking along the lines of trying to identify the number, removing everything else and then placing "Inc# " before it... currently we allow notes, which should be made like such: Inc# 2546 - Notes.however, people have their own method for this too (however most of them are at least after then incident number so that makes things much easier)another issue is on the same database, some manual requests also appear which have different entry format: RQ# GK034LW2052 but that contains a mixture of letters and numbers... so when identifying the request number... as long as I make sure that it is a number and not a string of numbers and letters, I should be ok..
I have a simple data entry form with drop down facilities on 2 fields. One of these fields incorporates a drop down list from a table but there are occasions when I wish to make a free text entry for the single record, but do not wish to add it to the drop down list.
I have tried to achieve this with a Combo Box but without success, although I am sure that I have read that it is possible.

Im after some free images for buttons, for my stock control database system. Can anyone recommend me some ood site to look at? Ive searched but have been unable to find anything really suitable.
According to Clint Covington, Microsoft intends to release the runtime and developer extensions for free.
My opinion is that it should ALWAYS have been free instead of slapping us Access developers with an extra cost so our users don't need to pay hundreds of dollars more to use our applications. I can't think of ANY other development environment that has this drawback.

When a customer makes a booking, all I need to do is check that there is less than 20 cats in the cattery for every day of the customer's intended visit range. This isn't the same as a car-hire system where if a car is out for one day during the intended hire, then the booking can't be made - it doesn't matter which pen a cat is put into, as long as there is a pen free for each day of their visit.
i.e. a customer wants to hire a ford escort from 1st-10th january but it is already booked for the 9th onwards - the booking can't be made.
a customer wants to put their cat in ANY pen from the 1st - 10th so it just depends on ONE pen being free for every day of this visit.
Any suggestions? My teachers are hopeless and I need to have implemented my system by 20th January!!! :eek: Thanks, Jayce
My problem: There isn't enough free memory to update the display.
I looked all over the internet about this error but without any success.
Facts are:
1. I keep getting this error anytime I try to Print or Print Preview or export to PDF an Access Report (same error for printing Forms and maybe other objects).
2. I received this error when using Office 2007 with the same mdb and also after upgrading to Office 2010.
3. The same mdb on any other computer works perfectly. I can do Print, Print Preview or whatever I want. This seems to be related to this laptop I am using.
4. Resources are not a problem on this laptop: 3Gb RAM, Paging: 1Gb on sys drive C and 2Gb on D. The other machines have less.
I have a button on a form which calls a module to show a calendar form. The user picks date and time, and saves it. The calendar form closes and adds the date and time to a text box on the initial form.I want to save the record so that the underlying table/query is updated, but it's not working. The record is not saved until the initial form is closed.Here's the form vba...
Code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private blnFlag As Boolean, blnSaveIt As Boolean Private Sub btnDelete_Click() On Error GoTo Err_btnDelete_Click
I have a list of 500 PDA users, spread over 7 offices. I want to keep an eye on what happens with the devices and their SIM-cards. As they are often swapped between offices and SIM-cards get lost. I am pretty sure that I don't have to re-invent the wheel. Do you have any idea of a free/shareware tracking tool for PDA's and cell phones ?
I have a table which lists all documents that refer to a certain entity. the table contains the file names and paths. I would like the user to be able to search for text inside these documents.Can I use Windows Search for that by using code? Is there any other way?
I have been trying to find a calendar that I can put on a form to set up reminders, notes, and other things. I have had no luck finding such a thing. I tried using Calendar Control 9.0, but that will not work for my needs.
If anyone knows where I can get a calendar like this, or if there is some sort of code that will make this happen, please let me know.
I currently have a form where a user can enter the criteria to print a report. For a date based report I would like to have 2 "pop-up" calendars where the user can click the start date and end date criteria. Can anyone recommend a program or add-in that I can use with Access97?
I'm creating a Database where I can track quotes, orders, customers, support/faults and products.Is there any way to have a Form that looks like a calendar.. ie this will link to my orders table and show what orders are due shipping on each day.
Thanks to "Beginning Access97 VBA Programming" by R. Smith & D. Sussman, I was able to implement the use of a calendar form to allow a client to select a date, rather than keying one in. And here I thought I was done with the problem....Wrong !!! The calendar form only works if existing records already have a date(shortdate) associated with the record.
But when I try to create a new record, the date field is "null" and I can't figure out how to pass a date value to the calendar control even though it's receiving a null. I get this "type mismatch" error I've bumped into the part of the code that was supplied via the book where the "property set datecontrol (Byval ctldate as Control) is set, but I can't figure out how to deal with this incoming "null" value from the newly created record.
Can anyone help? I'll check in later on tonight if anyone is needing part of the code as reference to what I'm trying to accomplish.
I have been using a calendar control on a subform and have now split the data into a tabbed form with 4 subforms. The calendar is now entering the date selected into the first record of each subform instead of just the one on the subform that has the focus.
Do I need to add the calendar control to each subform now or is there a way to reference the correct form in my current code?

I've creating an Access project, which is at an early stage. I'm using Access 2003 with a default file format set to Access 2000.
I've been trying to update a date field within a table using this piece of code from a Calendar form. The Calendar form has a Command Button called cmd_Accept. Its sub routine is shown below. Both variables, dt (date) and fvr_id (field visit report ID) are global.
The code works - too well! Instead of updating the only the target record, it will either update the first record plus the target record or all records with the same date and I cannot understand why this should happen.
[Field Visit Report ID] is unique, being the primary key for the table, tbl_field_visit. It is AutoNumber generated. I've double-checked the table and all entries in [Field Visit Report ID] are unique. All my MsgBOX displays show what I would expect to see.
As you can see, I've also tried doing the same task using SQL - with exactly the same result.
I've been going round and round with this for days. Should I bin this and go down another route, or can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Any help much appreciated.
Private Sub cmd_Accept_Click()
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset Dim strSQL As String
dt = ocxCalendar.Value ' +++++++++++++++++++++ ' Field Visit Report ID now set from another sub routine. Tested and working. ' fvr_id = Form.[Field Visit Report ID] ' +++++++++++++++++++++ ' MsgBox "The Field visit report ID is " & fvr_id, vbOKOnly ' MsgBox "The date is " & dt, vbOKOnly
Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("tbl_field_visit") If rst.RecordCount <> 0 Then rst.MoveFirst
MsgBox "fvr_id = " & fvr_id & " Date = " & dt, vbOKOnly Do While Not rst.EOF If (rst![Field Visit Report ID] = fvr_id) Then MsgBox "The Record ID is " & fvr_id, vbOKOnly found = True With rst .Edit !Date = dt .Update .Bookmark = .LastModified End With End If rst.MoveNext Loop rst.Close
' If found Then ' vbButtons = vbOKOnly + vbExclamation ' MsgBox "Record Found! " & " Date = " & dt & " Field Visit Report ID = " & fvr_id, vbButtons ' If rst.RecordCount <> 0 Then rst.MoveFirst ' strSQL = "SELECT tbl_Field_Visit.Date FROM tbl_Field_Visit WHERE tbl_Field_Visit.[Field Visit Report ID] = " & fvr_id ' Me.RecordSource = strSQL ' MsgBox strSQL, vbOKOnly ' strSQL = "INSERT INTO tbl_Books ([Date], VALUES '" & dt & "')" ' strSQL = "UPDATE tbl_Field_Visit SET tbl_Field_Visit.Date = '" & dt & "' WHERE tbl_Field_Visit.[Field Visit Report ID] = " & fvr_id ' MsgBox "strSQL = " & strSQL, vbOKOnly ' dbs.Execute strSQL ' End If
Before I waste a ton of time trying to do something that just isn't possible, can one of you tell me if the following is possible?
I have a database that I am using for appointments.
Is it possible to have a calendar control on a form that shows all of a person's appointments that occur during the month? For example, Joe has 3 appointments in april. Can I make the calendar show me all three dates (the appointment dates being depressed on the control) that he has appointments on? If so, can you tell me how? I can make it do one date, by making the row source the date scheduled field from the table.
Should I have seven different fields in one record for the appointments that could occur all seven days of the week?
Here is my problem. I am hoping that someone here can be my hero on this one.
I am trying to figure out what would be the best possible way to track my hospital's staffing. I need a form that I can click on the Active X calendar and have it populate the staffing table. I have built the code and it works great.
The problem is that the way the code works now, I have to have a field in my table for every single date scheduled. For example, right now, I have the staffing table like this:
Name Date Scheduled Date Scheduled1 Date Scheduled2 Date Scheduled3
Of course, after a month, an employee will have worked more than four shifts. I really don't want to add a field for every shift they could have worked because then, after a month, I'll have thirty date fields, and after a year, I'll have 365. So, do you have any ideas about how I can do this without having 365 date fields?? Thank you! If you can help me figure this out, you are my hero.
I have a form bound to a table that has a bunch of dates in it. What I want to do, is to be able to have pop-up calendars on the form next to each date field, where the user can select dates from the calendar, then have those dates display on the form, and last but not least, update the date fields in the table.
At the moment, the form I'm working with let's me pick dates from little pop-ups and display the dates, but when I exit the form and then come back into it, the dates are gone! In other words, I'm missing something in the process between the dates displaying onthe form and the dates getting into my table.
If anyone has an idea as to what I might be doing wrong, I wouldappreciate your ideas and suggestions.
Thanks in advance. I don't know where I'd be without this forum!
