Hello everyone. I am wanting to store the date the record was entered into the table. But I don't want the users to have to type this in; I thought that Access could grab the date from the system date.
I am new to this and I looked at the Date function but I am thinking it will just always update to the current system date.
Thank you very much if anyone could point me in the right direction.
We are creating a database to log data on a project. There will be thousands of files. Can we input data, using the same table, at separate locations and then merge the data into a master table? We will need to do that many times.

I need to store multiple ranges per record in my relational db, i.e.

Etc, I need the data to be searchable with minimal fuss and coding.
Any help would be very very welcome.

hi,
i have a form that uses combo boxes for entry, some of the combo box entries are dependent on preceding combo box selections.
i have managed to make the combo boxes present options based on the previous selections, but am finding that after i move on to another record, some of the combo box entries are not being retained or stored in the record.
It happens only on some records and sometimes when I return to it again the selections are there even though on a previous ocassion they were not.
Can anyone suggest what may be causing this?
Regards

Hi again
I've done some searching on this question and it seem everyone is pointing to the DateAdd function, so here is my current problem.
I have a date/time field called SponsorshipContractDate. When a contract is signed the date is entered. I need the system to calulate the renewal date for the contract which is alway 1 year ahead.
The DateAdd function works only if I hard code at date into it e.g.
DateAdd ("yyyy", 1, "01-Jan-08")
But as contracts are signed throughout the year this just doesn't work so I tried this:
DateAdd ("yyyy", 1, "SponsorshipContractDate") but the table won't save and this is abviously not right. In my head it makes sense but I don't understand how to get the formula to look at another field during it's calculations
Am I using the wrong function?
I will keep looking around.
Thanks heaps
I have a form that the user will enter data, when the user has finished entering the data, i want them to click on a button, with a yes or no option button on it.
if the user selects yes (approved)......i want the record to be emailed to a few peoples email address.
i was thinking that i could store the email address's in a table and email the record to whoever appears in the list.
if the user selects no (Amend Record)..... i want the set focus to go back to the first field of the last record for Amendment.
Can this be done easy enough ?
if so how please.
Cheers

How do I create a table relationship where a secondary reltated table stores past dates, status code and customer ID. For example: I want to keep track of the past dates that an order was revised and why it was revised. So, if I have a customer who was due for installation on 10/21/04 and status is PEND for pending. THen on 10/18/94 I change the date of PEND to 10/25/04. I want to keep track of the times it changed and the reason why. HOw can I make the program automatically create a record in the revision table storing the past code, reason and date using customer ID as key and teh revision table would allow multiple records for each customer ID. DId I make sense?

Firstly this is my first post so please forgive me if i do not conform to the usual way of asking a question!
I have an access database set up and it is working well, so far!
What I wish to do is the following, I am creating this for a cycling club to store race results...
I wish to store the time that they completed the stage in, how do i do this using the date/time field option when all it wants to do is store a complete time.
for example i wish to store 1 hour 12 minutes 15 seconds in the table as 1:12:15 for stage 1.
Plus they may have received a penalty, so in another field I would like to say store a 10 second penalty...
anyway you get the idea.... please could somebody inform me on the best way to do this, it has to be stored as a time so I can add all the stages up later and create a report!
Thanks in advance...
Hi
I have a database which picks up information from my accounts package. It has the following fields
ID,Name,Date,Ref1&Ref2
I need to extract the last ID number and store it in a table or somewhere and then extract the above information after that number into a csv file in the order above. It is used for my invoices and therefore when I do an import from my accounts package it updates all the transactions.
An example would be I say put 5 invoices on with a ID nr's of 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 and output to a csv file. When I run the query/macro? it looks at the table with the last ID nr and starts from 6 and so on
I just need the ones I have done today. It has to be the ID number as each invoice is put on it gives it a sequential number, the dates could be different for each invoice.
I hope I've explained myself:)
Thanks in advance

Hello, all;
I think this is probably a simple solution for some of you.
I have a database containing records for which I need to set dates to follow up on.
I would like to ensure that the date that is entered is a business day (So that when I run my follow up report for the day - I don't end up missing items that were inadvertantly entered for a weekend!)
I have hunted around for a similar thread - but have not found anything.
I am thinking that a simple bit of validation could be entered for the field properties.
Any ideas?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hello All,
I am creating a database that is supposed to capture the employee's type of work, time it takes to do the work, etc...
So far, it does what it's supposed to do but my record's are all over the place.
E.g. i have tables called:
tblDailyActivities - this table is supposed to store all record without sorting.
tblemployees - this table is supposed to have a list of employees and when maximized, all records associated to that particular employee should be listed.
However, the i have right now is that instead of listing it under the particular employee, it lists the employee's name individually for each item listed.
What i want is to for the tblemployees to be listed like tblfunctions.
see attached database since i probably am not making any sense right now.
Thank you,
John
Hello, I have a program/database that I'm building in Access 2003, It has new client/bid entry form that has many text boxes for instance: Client, address, Phone numbers, Date etc. These text boxes are actually populating the same text fields in the PrimaryBid_Master form.
My question is every time I fill out the client entry new bid form and then exit to the PrimaryBid _Master form it defaults to the very first record entered, and I would like it to default to the last record entered, The record I just got done entering into the new client bid form, this would save me from having to filter/find it every time I enter a new bid/client, Is this possible and if so Can you describe to me how I can have my program do this?
Thanks--Chuck I really appreciate any help/suggestions.
I know that it is bad form to store a calculated field in a table - normalization and all that - but I can see no other way around a need that I have.
I'm trying to make a database to store injury time for employees. If an employee is injured, he can do light work for a certain amount of time, but this light work need not be contiguous. But, the total time on light work must be known so as to see when it is used up.
For example:
Bob is injured on 4/1/06 and goes on light work on 4/2/06 until 4/5/06 (4 days). Bob is then taken off light work until 4/10/06 when he reinjures the same injury. This does not count as a new injury, because it is an aggravation of the old one. So, Bob goes back on light work on 4/10/06 until 4/15/06 (6 days).
So, I need to store Bob's total time on light work for this injury (10 days) so that I can keep a running total to check against the maximum for a single injury. All I can think of is to store the sum of days on light work as a field in Bob's injury record, but that means storing a calculated field in a table.
Am I missing an easy way to do this, or is there a method to do what I want that I am just not aware of?
Thanx for any help!

how shall i write the codes?
Hi,
I know it breaks all the rules to store a calculated field on a table, but I've painted myself into a corner with the way I built this particular database, not good, I have repeating groups and basically the whole database is built this way. I need one form to store a calculated value on a table to solve a problem on a report that encapsulates the total of all the repeating groups. Before you start the lecture, I know I messed up, but this is way to far down the road to start over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Set qdftemp = mydb.QueryDefs("qry_Append_EntryDetail_Local")
qdftemp.SQL = strsql
qdftemp.Close

Formula LEFT(c9,2)&LEFT(d9,3)&"-"&e9
How do I get same result in Access?
tried
Field 'PRN', a text field set as default =""""& left([first name],2}+LEFT(Last name],3), date()&""""
Access accepted the above statement but when I input user details the default doesn't work.
I am looking to (on the mainform) have the user enter into a text box whatever date they would like to enter and have that value become the current date of the system. So that all operations are based off of this newly entered date.
