I'm converting my Access 2003 VBA app. I have a number of date fields in my
db that I want to use the date/time picker control with, but if there is no
entry in my database, I want the date/time picker to show no date. Right
now the first time it shows a blank date record, it inserts today's date.
But as I move through the db and it finds a date in that field, the next
time it finds a blank data record, it uses the last one as the default. It
does not insert the date into the db, it just displays it. I really need it
to display a blank unless there is a date in that field.
I'm semi-experienced with VBA, but a total rookie with BO Express Edition.
Thanks!

How are you attaching the data to the datetimepicker?

This is a common request as far as the DateTimePicker goes.
Unfortunately, it doesn't have a 'natural' way to display null data.
The closest built-in behavior is the ShowCheckBox property, which adds
a checkbox into the control, and disables the date picking part if the
checkbox is unchecked. It looks terrible (to my mind), but it's there.

Hi. I have a date time picker in my program which uses ADO to read from an
Access database. It works perfectly, unless the database is empty (no
records) when opened. When you try to open an empty database, the date time
picker returns error 545. Any attempts to progmatically add new records
after the empty database has been opened returns, or to use the DTP and set
a new date for those added records, "Field not updateable, Bound...

Hi,
I generate a report using two dates (From and To). I notice if I enter
01/10/2003 that it is interpreted by Access as 10/01/2003 i.e 10th January
rather than 1st October as I intended.
This is the old problem of US date format mm/dd/yy versus dd/mm/yy.
I am stepping through the code and the dates do seem to be ok but when the
report runs I get records earlier than 1st October which is not what I want.

should.

The example given in msdn.com on how to create a Date Time Picker involves using the CreateWindowEx function. However, I created a dialog box using the graphical interface, and then used the graphical interface to add a Date Time Picker control to it. The only problem is, I don't know how to do anything with the Date Time Picker, like access the date selected within the control. All I have is the ID, which in my code is IDC_DATETIMEPICKER1. ...

Hi Guys
I have two DateTime pickers one shows the Date and the other the time, this
is a requirement of the solution. The problem I have is that when the time
is saved to the sql database into a datetime field it uses the default date
which is a problem when I try to sort, what I wanted to know is there a way
for me to set the date in the time picker to the date in the date picker?
Any help greatly appreciated.

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.

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,...
