I have a split asset database in MS Access 2016 and would like to set up a report to be emailed out each day to show what project codes have been changed. The report will show specific fields from the table.
I have added a column to the Asset table which I want to have the date populated in when the Project code is changed on the front end form. How do i set it to update? I can only find ways to update based on a row not a specific field.

The website has a content type defined called an event, which is used in calendars and other displays. It has the following fields

The content type has been use for over 10 years and there are over 6000 records of this type.
The majority of the records are one off events with no repeats, but some are regular events with repeats set up for once a month meetings etc.
I would like to write a view to identify those records which do not have repeating dates, and for which the date is in the past so these can be removed from the system, but I can't see a way of identifying which events have repeating dates and which do not.
Once the one off events can be presented in a view, View Bulk Operations can be used to remove them.
The repeating events are more problematic because some of them may still be in use, this would need to be determined as a second step or done manually.
The date module in use is Date 7.x-2.10.
It turns out to be relatively easy just filter on
Content: Date:rrule (empty) to pick up records with no repeats
Thanks to Tony Maynard-Smith for the answer.
I am working on developing an SSRS report.I have a table in which student name and 6 subjects marks is stored in each row. My problem statement goes like this ---> lets say if 10 rows of data is present in table then I want to create report card/ marksheet for each student in new page but inside a same report. (I.e. 10 pages in one report). Then convert the report containing 10 pages to PDF format and save it in some folder.
Can anyone show some possibilities to achieve my problem statement.
Thanks in advance....
Usually you'll want to use a List object to separate your report by student. You would group the list by student in your report. Then set a Page Break in the List with the location to Between each group so that it separates each student into a separate page.
Then you can put charts, tables and other object inside the list and it will repeat with the list group (in your case, each student).
MSDN: Lists
In this report I made below, the List is highlighted in Red and groups by each site. It just has a table inside. When it's run each site gets it's own page with a list of their people.
Keep in mind that a List is actually just a Tablix with only one data cell - with the column and row headers removed.
I have a list on Sharepoint 2013. I've often use the Edit this list link to make bulk changes to the list in datasheet view with no problem. Last week I had a bunch of new records I needed to add so decided bulk copy and paste from Excel would be best. However, I get the error "Invalid date/time value. A date/time field contains invalid data. Please check the value and try again." The field is Date/Time with Date only display. The format I copied in was mm/dd/yyyy, which is how it's displayed (I realize there's a difference between formatting and display). In the past I've used this format to update dates with no problem. I've tried manually changing the date to other formats like yyyy/mm/dd (or with dashes -), and using the date picker and nothing works. I can add a new item using the form and no problem with the date. It's only happening in datasheet view.
I have 70+ records to add and would rather not have to open a new form for each one (I'm only adding info to 7 of the fields, and I first only pasted a couple records to make sure there were no issues). Are there any recent known issues about date fields in datasheet view? It's a pretty straightforward thing, no calculations are being used, I'm not trying to connect to another service, or use outlying dates (dates are all 2017) so I'm perplexed why this is an issue now and not before. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Found the issue. I had another date field I was not using in that view that for some reason the default value had been set to Calculated field with a value of 1/1/1111. No idea how that got there but I removed that and set the default value to None and now the problem is gone. I found it by creating a new view with every date field in the list and systematically copying a date into each field (in bulk edit) and trying to save after each one until it saved. Then I checked the settings for the field that I was able to save with.
So we use FMP11 to do inventory management. I do price updates to our products 3 times a week and it would be nice to store our past cost values into a separate table for historical pricing. I know how I would go about doing most of it, but is it possible to create a new field that is labeled as today's date on the fly? So my headers would be labeled with that days date and the old pricing value from my other fields would be inserted.
It is a bad idea to create new fields for the purpose you're describing. Create additional records instead, and do your report going from top to bottom instead of left to right.
That said, if you want to do it, you can using FileMaker Server Advanced with JDBC and the ALTER TABLE command.
Create an new table (e.g. ArchivePricing) to hold the values you want to reference at a later date (e.g. ChangeDate, Price, Item, ItemID, etc.).
Create a new field in the current table called z|newprice - use this to type in your new pricing (you might do this on a list layout so you can easily change a bunch of prices).
Create a button that triggers a script that:
creates a new record in the new ArchivePricing table and inserts the ItemID (thus creating a link to the original table) - this can be done using script parameters or setting a variable)... the script continues.
uses the "set field" script step to insert info to this new record in the ArchivePricing table.
uses the Get (CurrentDate) function to insert the date into the ChangeDate field (thus capturing the date the change was made).
Before the script finishes be sure to use "set field" back in the original table to move the value in z|newprice field into your normal Price field. Do this at the end of the script and then commit record.
I'm trying to create a Crystal Report that reads data from an access table. I have a particular field in the access table called REPT_YYMM. This is basically a run data field, so each month when a program is run it populates the current year/month in the field before exporting to access, so there is a way to do month to month comparisons. For the report I'm working on I just want to display the data along with the current REPT_YYMM field when the data is refreshed on a monthly basis. Is there a way to do this in a formula. I'm not familiar enough with date type functions to know where to start.
Any guidance or suggestions are appreciated!
Your question isn't very clear but if i understood correct you just need to filter the data where field REPT_YYMM = YYMM.
Goto selection formulas, record and enter:
{table.REPT_YYMM} = cStr(currentdate,'yyMM');
