Next 7 days from calculated date value

[DenisCooper]

Hi,

in a query i have setup, i work out when a tenant is next due to pay their rent.

Looks like this

Tenant Last Payment Date Payment Terms Next Payment Date
User1 01/07/13 Monthly 01/08/13
User2 01/07/13 Weekly 07/07/13

The next payment date is calculated using an IF statement and DateAdd in the query, so if it is weekly it adds 7 days, if it is monthly it adds 1 month.

What i am trying to do is write sub query of this one which shows which tenants are due to pay within the next 7 days.

But the access query seems to ignore the criteria I'm putting in....in the next payment date criteria i have tried specifying >Now() + 7 or >Date() +7 but neither seem to work, it just shows up every record...

any ideas?

Try <Date()-"7" this would only show records that are over due by 7 days

Hope it works

Hi Denis,

if you want the tenants which are due within the next 7 days, you should put it this way:

<Now()+7 or <Date()+7

The way you put it, the query shows you those which are due the week after next.

in the interest of accuracy

a) you probably want date() rather than now()
b) you probably want +6 rather than +7

but neither of which should have a great problem as it stands.

i agree with stargrabber. you probably want <

ie the due date is less than a week after today. (ie it wil be due on oer before that date.)

hi,

tried all variations and it just seems to ignore the criteria and show everything...SQL query is shown here


SELECT qryMaxPaymentDate.cboTenant, qryMaxPaymentDate.MaxOfDateDue, qryMaxPaymentDate.cboPaymentTerms, IIf([qryMaxPaymentDate.cboPaymentTerms]=2,DateAdd("ww",1,[MaxOfDateDue]),IIf([qryMaxPaymentDate.cboPaymentTerms]=3,DateAdd("ww",2,[MaxOfDateDue]),IIf([qryMaxPaymentDate.cboPaymentTerms]=4,DateAdd("ww",4,[MaxOfDateDue]),IIf([qryMaxPaymentDate.cboPaymentTerms]=1,DateAdd("m",1,[MaxOfDateDue]),"n/a")))) AS calcNextPayDueDate, tblLease.PaymentAmount
FROM qryMaxPaymentDate INNER JOIN tblLease ON qryMaxPaymentDate.cboTenant = tblLease.cboTenant
WHERE (((IIf([qryMaxPaymentDate.cboPaymentTerms]=2,DateAdd("ww",1,[MaxOfDateDue]),IIf([qryMaxPaymentDate.cboPaymentTerms]=3,DateAdd("ww",2,[MaxOfDateDue]),IIf([qryMaxPaymentDate.cboPaymentTerms]=4,DateAdd("ww",4,[MaxOfDateDue]),IIf([qryMaxPaymentDate.cboPaymentTerms]=1,DateAdd("m",1,[MaxOfDateDue]),"n/a")))))<Date()+6));

i've tried doing a subquery of this query and it still ignores the criteria...any help appreciated.

intrestingly though, if i just put date() then it works ok

 

[DenisCooper]

i think i've got it working by using this as the filter

<Date()+6 AND >Date()

thanks for help
