Hi,
I'm trying to make a Report that will show a check box as checked off if there is a date in a certain field for the given record (instead of the field in the database being yes/no, each field has a date). Also, sometimes the check box may have to be checked when a date is in one field or another field (or like 5 fields). When there is no date in the field or any of the fields, the check box should not be checked.
Alternatively, would I be able to make a field in a database or query where it is a check box and it is checked off if the dates are present, and then use this check box in the report?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Also, it doesn't matter what the date is, just that there is one present in the field (the field is set as a date type).

I think I would take your second option add a yes/No field to your table then add the checkbox to your form where they enter the data you can even hide it so noone sees it. Then when they update any of your date fields with a date you can change the checkbox to True. This part can be done in code and I would gladly walk you through it.

Assuming your 5 date fields are called dat1 through dat5 then your CheckBox on the report could be set to : - =Not (IsNull([dat1]) AND IsNull([dat2]) AND IsNull([dat3]) AND IsNull([dat4]) AND IsNull([dat5]))
Performance- and simplicity-wise, it's probably better to use this approach, although the difference in most cases is negligible so it's really down to your own preference.
the "Not (IsNull)" worked great! thanks!

This one really has me going. Probably something silly. I'm using
dcount for a report to determine the number of different types of
tests proctored in a semester.
My report is based on a parameter query which is the recordsource for
the report. The parameter is <=. The query returns the
correct amounts upto the date entered (no need for "between" dates
here).
There are 8 textboxes with dcounts; 2 other boxes Sum some of these

It has three main tables that store information, the first one, that I have named "Checkout", stores the information I am querying for the two reports. It has six different fields - OrderNumber, Date, CheckedBy, BuiltBy, SerialNumber, and...

I need some advise on how to best create an Access 2002 report from multiple "total" queries, each which result in 3- 5 values that I need displayed on my report. Most of the queries do simple counts based on 3 different tables. For instance, I need to count the number of new clients enrolled in a program for a given month or year-to-date grouped by 4 different referral sources (based on the start date for the client). Then I need to count...

Okay so I've been tearing my hair out for weeks over this issue. What I have is a Crystal Report that's showing a table pulled from an Access Database. The database is a HUGE pile of junk and it has a text based Date field!! Unbelievable.
This causes my Crystal Report a bunch of problems as I have to convert the date text data to date and compare it to the user inputted date to find records between the inputted dates. All would be swell if...

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:
