I am using Access 2010 on Win 7 pro.
I am trying to limit the dates returned in a date picker associated with a text box on an access form.
I have created the text box set its format to short date and selected on dates in the show date picker property. So far so good I am seeing the date picker icon next to the field when it has the focus as expected and the date picker is working.
What I am having trouble with is limiting the dates shown in the date picker to only the last two weeks, this is required due to business rules. I can raise an error in the afterupdate event no problems but its not pretty and I would prefer to limit the user to a specified range. I have been all over the web and found many references to how this was done with calendar active x controls and the activex date picker in previous versions. The code to do it is not a problem I just cant find anywhere to limit what the date picker displays.
Any help greatly appreciated

Have you tried the validation rules on data side of the properties?
There you can set the valid values.
Per example [field1] > '2012-01-01' and [field1] < '2014-01-01'

I am looking for a datepicker that allows me to select multiple single dates and multiple date ranges all within the same calendar with the output being all single dates (also for the date ranges).
I found this https://dojo.telerik.com/ELARAlOW which looks great but requires a 999 euro purchase to access a full range of UI elements I don't need, just to have access to the calendar.
Anyone know of any open source, inexpensive or free datepicker which would work?
I have a typical calendar datepicker that allows us to select multiple dates. We use it to close out availability for specific dates. The problem is that the dates need to be selected one by one and that can be a pain as sometimes I need to block out weeks or entire months at a time. Need an easier way to select multiple dates in less clicks and output a list of single dates (so not just the start and end date of the range)
I have an Access DB I've been working on that tracks the preconstruction work for each project we are awarded. I've included a form that is a quick glance at the status of some of the initial tasks that need to be performed. The data source is a query that includes the award date and fields that calculate dates for each of the initial tasks. On the form, under each task I have a textbox tied to the calculated date and a checkbox tied to another field in the query indicating if the task is complete or not.
I've added conditional formatting to the textboxes to give a quick visual of what the status of each task is. The first two conditional formats appear to work fine:
If there is no start date entered, the background and text are white.
If the box is checked as complete, the background and text are green.
Where I am running into issues is with the last four conditional formats:
If the date is in the past, the background is red.
If the date is in the next week, the background is orange.
If the date is between one and two weeks out, the background is yellow.
If the date is more than two weeks out, the background is white.
In the screen shot attached, you can see the issues. The date the screen shot was taken was 5/21/2021. One textbox with 5/3/2021 as the date is formatting as being within the next week even though it's in the past. Some dates that are over a month away are formatting as being within the next week.
Any suggestions?05.21.2021 Screenshot
You don't have date values, but expressions interpreted as numbers. Thus:
5/21/2021 = 1.17810607667114E-04
5/3/2021 = 8.246742536698E-04
So, go back and make sure you pass date values from the table/query all the way to the form's textboxes.
And, when done, adjust your first condition to:
Value Is Null
Now() returns date + time. Use Date() instead to work with the date only.
Since the rules are applied in sequence, only the first one matching condition applies. Therefore it is not necessary to use Between And.
My suggestion, where white is the default formatting of the textbox, and therefore does not require a condition.
Expression Is [checkbox_name] ---> green
Value < Date() ---> red
Value < Date() + 8 ---> orange
Value < Date() + 15 ---> yellow
I have added a dynamic date time picker plugin to my oracle apex application. I want to set maximum date to this date picker. current date(or sysdate ) is the maximum date I want to set, the dates after current date should not be available for selection in the date picker.In the default apex date picker I add
+0d
in the maximum date field to set maximum date to current date. But this does not works with dynamic date time picker plugin.Plugin link : Apex dynamic date picker plugin link. How can I do this?
I wanted the same thing and managed to do it today. Here's my solution.
Create a dynamic action in the first Datepicker Calendar with the Change event.
Create the true action "Execute Javascript Code" and use the following code:
$('#P1_SECOND_CALENDAR').datepicker("option","minDate",$("#P1_FIRST_CALENDAR").val());
This function should make the second calendar set its minimum date to the one you've chosen on the first one, and it should happen when you pick it. Previous days should be greyed out on the second calendar once you open it to pick the second date.
Just replace the variables I used for calendars for the ones you have and it should work.
Checking the variables here again, I didn't choose a minimum date on the second Datepicker and APEX automatically chose a "+0d" value for it. It shouldn't be a problem. Try following these steps and see if it works.
Context: I am using Microsoft Dynamics (CRM) and Eloqua to send email campaigns. I have a date field in CRM that I want to check against in Eloqua for a specific campaign. This campaign needs to check to see if the date field is <= today's date + 90 days. I am using the campaign UI in Eloqua, not doing anything programmatically at this point.
I have tried using the Compare Custom Object Fields decision in Eloqua by finding the date field, setting the comparator to dynamically on or before, and I want to make the compared value Today + 90 days. I'm not sure how to accomplish this in this type of Decision object because the only options I have to compare the date field to are Yesterday, Today, or Tomorrow. See image below:
I have also tried to use the Compare Date Decision object, but there is no dynamic comparison, just hard-coded date options.
The last thing I tried was a Wait step, but that only waits a hard-coded number of days rather than checking dynamically.
Has anyone run into this issue or know of a solution to this problem?
We were able to find an Eloqua Date App to download that adds a Date Decision step to the program builder which allowed us more flexibility with comparing dates in a custom range.
Is there a way to "grey out" dates that are not deemed available from the date picker calendar parameter? I realize you can limit the available dates by using a drop down parameter, but it would be nice to have this extended to the date picker parameter.
Thanks,

It is not possible(As far as I know) to control how SSRS handles user entry of date/time values in parameters. If there is a need to restrict to date (or time) only or do cross-field validation then you need to implement your own front-end.
