I am a relative novice with Access and I am developing an input form that I need a default date to populate, regardless of the input date e.g. If I input data on Tuesday, Sept 27, I want the default date to be the previous Saturday, Sept 23 or if I enter data on Friday, Sept 29, the default date should also be Saturday, Sept 23. Is there a way to do this with date math, since the input date could be any date from the 23rd through the 29th. This needs to happen for any date entered, to find the previous Saturday. Is this even possible?

You need your default date to be based on the last Saturday?
It is possible by writing code in VB in your on load Form property event!
Do you want to continue with the code?

I've been experimenting using VBA, which I'm finding has many more options then point and click, obviously! I'm just not sure of the logic necessary to make it look back to the previous Saturday, regardless of what day it is, unless of course, the day the record is entered is a Saturday.
Any help pointing me in the right direction to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!

So my frien,
See this expression:
CVDATE("29/09/2006")-(DatePart("w", CVDATE("29/09/2006"),vbSaturd ay)-1)
it returns the last saturday!
So instaed 29/09/2006 you need to place your date!

I have got a form where I offer a default date (01.01.2004) and visitors

After changing this, the customized date should be displayed in the form

Ok I know this is simple but the statement eludes me...
I have a date field where I want the default value on the data entry form's
date field to be the last date entered. I figure I can do this with a query
but don't know what the criteria needs to be.
Any help would be appreciated,

This may seem simple, but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out

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.

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.
