Re: [MS_AccessPros] Date comparisons in a form control

 

I would set the Validation property of the text box to:

   Validation Rule: Between #1/8/2017# And Date()

Then set the Validation text to:

   Validation Text: Must be Between 1/8/2017 and current date

This all assumes your date formats are similar to the US.

Regards,

Duane

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Date comparisons in a form control

 

Hi Guys

This one should be straightforward I hope ....

In a form control I am trying to prevent the user from putting in an incorrect date.

I only want the date to be between 1/8/17 and the current date

I have the following code triggered by the On Exit event of the control

if [date placed] < 1/8/17 then

msgbox "date placed cannot be before 1/8/17"

[date placed] = null

elseif [date placed] > date then

msgbox "date placed cannot be in the future"

[date placed] = date

end if

the elseif seems to work perfectly but the test for before 1/8/17 doesn't work properly.

What am I doing wrong?

Also, so that I don't have to change the code each year, how can I code it so that between 1/8/nn and 31/7/nn+1 it uses 1/8/nn for the date test?

cheers

Phil
