Populating a feild in Access from a Calculated date in a form

1 New Member
I am trying to get a date that calculate in the control source on a form to update a field in a table. The formula works but does not update the table.

This is what I am using: =DateSerial(Yea r([Start date]),Month([Start date]),Day([Start date])+([Duration]\24))

Any ideas?

You need to operate on a control that is bound to the relevant field in your table.

What do you have as the recordset for your form at the moment?

Hi all, Hopefully something simple here. I have written a form that takes data from a text box and updates it into an Access database. However, I want to also pass the local user date and time using date() and time() JavaScript commands, but can't find the right syntax to put them in the input command, example: <input name=date value="<javascript command here">

I hope this group does not mind the most basic questions. I am trying to teach myself Access in two different versions.

The user can choose up to 3 sorts using a form that opens before the report opens. When the report previews, it ignores the users' sort request and always sorts by the primary key even though ORDER BY is explicity set to another field other than primary key. If I copy...

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,...
