I need to write consecutive dates to a table, starting with a date
input on a form. I haven't got a clue as to where to begin.
I have searcewd the web with no success. Could someone help at least
get me started?
Thanks for any help
This should get you going.
Put a textbox on the input form to store the start date and change DateInputTextboxName in the code to the name of the
textbox.
Add a command button to the form and in it's property sheet set OnClick to [Event Procedure] then click on the "..."
button at the right of the property to open the code module.
Paste the following code between the Sub and End Sub lines and change MyDateField and tblMyTable to your field / table
names as required.
When they click the button the records are written to the table.
