Calculating Dates

How do you count 7 days back from a date? Like, give me all transactions that occurred 7 days from today in access.

Thanks for the help.

The function is Dateadd. the syntax is Dateadd(PeriodT ype,period,date )

in your case it would be

Newdate = Dateadd("d",-7,OldDate)

The function is Dateadd. ...in your case it would be Newdate = Dateadd("d",-7,OldDate)
Also, you can probably use the Now() function for the current time. That would make something like
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Newdate = DateAdd("d",-7,Now())
(You might not need the parentheses after Now - I forget).

SELECT * FROM TableName
WHERE [Date Field] BETWEEN Date() And Date()-7;

As the Date in Access is stored as 'Number of Days since ...' and the time is stored as a fractional part of a day, adding/subtracting a number to a date field is equivalent to using
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DateAdd("d",number,[Date Field])
The documentation for DateAdd() also includes an option for adjusting by a weekday ("w"). I've found this not to work (albeit only tested up to Access 2K).

Hi, I need some help with JS. I will be grateful, if you can help me out. I have two date fields (check in, check out) and "number of days" field. I want the script to calculate automatically the difference. For example: I have defaults dates, and I want the script to put the difference in "number of days" field. And if the user will change the date, the number of days will change automatically.

I'm looking for a way to calculate the number of days between two dates using standard C++ functions. Would it be as simple as just using the difftime() function and then dividing that result by the number of seconds in a day? - Clint

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
