I am calculating working days in a report and would like to have the result auto populate to a text box when the report is generated. Since I do not know how to write the VB for this, I am pasting in the following code (found by many google searches). How do I attach this code result to the text box on Form Load?

Option Compare Database

Option Explicit

Public Function Calculate_Working_Days(ByVal dDate1 As Date, ByVal dDate2 As Date, _
ByVal FirstDayOfWeek As DayConstants, Optional WeekLengh As Integer = 5) As Long
' Calculating how many working days in the given interval'
Dim i As Integer
Dim intDayDifference As Integer
Dim dSmallestDate As Date


'Looking for the smallest date from the 2 we give to the function'
If DateDiff("d", dDate1, dDate2) < 0 Then
dSmallestDate = dDate2
Else
dSmallestDate = dDate1
End If

'Geting the interval between the dates in days'
intDayDifference = DateDiff("d", dDate1, dDate2)

'Going trough the interval and looking for the working days'
For i = 0 To Abs(intDayDifference)
If Weekday(dSmallestDate + i, FirstDayOfWeek) < WeekLengh + 1 Then ' looking for the first 5 days from the given'
' day as begining of the week if it is true '
' we count them as working '
Calculate_Working_Days = Calculate_Working_Days + 1 ' if we found one we sum 1 more'
End If
Next i


End Function


Thank you!
 
On load, all you need to do is make an assignment, like this:
Code: 
me.textbox = Calculate_Working_Days(date1, date2)
One more thing about your function: The simple "+i" addition that you are using to add days to the start date and checking the week is not always compatible with vba. I have used numbers to add days before and it has returned a different data type randomly. Using it many times subsequently might pose a problem. I'm not sure 100% though.

If you want something that may be a little more compatible, this is what I use. It applies to the American workweek though:
Code: 
Function EDateDiffBus(sDate As Date, _
                      eDate As Date)

'sDate > Start Date.  If invalid, procedure will not return a value.          *
'eDate > End Date.  If omitted, today's date will be used.                    *
'                                                                             *

Thank you for your response--just getting back to this. I am a novice at VBA, so I'm not yet following the attachment mentioned:

me.textbox = Calculate_Working_Days(date1, date2)
How do I attach this to say, text box 65 on report load (I think I would need to see exactly what the code should be typed as)? Is me.textbox the actual text to type? Sorry--I really don't know VBA.

Thanks!

Click to expand...
a textbox control source is what you want.

the load event really is not related. in that property, write:
Code: 
=functionName(argument1, argument2)
make sense?

as an example, in the function i posted for you, if you have two other boxes on the report and one has the start date, the other the end date, and the sources of the two are "start" and "end", your tBox would have this control source:
Code: 
=EDateDiffBus([start], [end])
 
Thank you again for your help. I'm attaching a test database where I've included all the above, but there is something wrong. I'm hoping it will stand out to those who are fluent with VBA. If you wouldn't mind taking a look at this for me and helping me get in working order, I'd be forever grateful. For me this is like performing surgery for the first time without proper training. :-) Ok, maybe not that serious...

Thanks!
