Missing Dates

There are certain records I create which are open and shut. That is,
we don't put a completion date in that record. I would like to
automate this and with certain records, take the date created field
and place that date in the completion field. Any suggestions?

Use an Update Query. Set the Date Completion field equal to the Date Created
field where Date Completion Is Null. Add any other criteria you need.

An update query, replacing the completion date with the date created field
on records selected by a criteria of Null should do what you want. After you
create a select query in the query builder, on the menu, Query | Update.

Hi Guys, I am trying to include my little script in my html report. I have done an external JS file which contains it. If you remember, you have helped me to detect if the asp page was present by using ajax. If not present is gracefully stay silent. The problem is now that when the JS is not present (and it can be) MSIE gives a lot of errors and one has to kill it.

Hello people, I am ussing an MS access database to enter and manage data from lab tests. until now i was the only one handeling the data so i had no need for a controle on how missing data was entered, since i did it myself i knew exactly what data was missing...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
