Solved Text Box Default Value

[Dreamweaver]

I have used a combo but you could update the last date(s) OnCurrent
I have added a date to the main form as that is where I might put it if I was doing this.
plus a date has been added to the subform footer which gets it's default value from the main forms combo.
Open form frmLastServicedate
One other note I have used the subforms OrderBy to set the servicedate as the order by field.
Hope it helps

One note you should look into Normalising your tables as there is a lot wrong with just the 2 tables.

Hi guys....here's the file. It looks terrible but pay no attention to that. If it turns out i've been doing something silly i apologise in advance

Hi again lads.....sorry for bumping this thread. If it's not allowed then i apologise and i'll start a new one.
Everything was working fine until the change of the year.........the txt box which shows the last time the machine was serviced is showing a December date from 2020 even though there are new entries for 2021 ?.
The current code i have in the OnCurrent event of the subform is

Me.txtLast.DefaultValue = Format(Nz(DMax("CalibrationDone", "tbl_CalibrationRecords", "EquipID = '" & Me!EquipID & "'"), Date), "\#dd\/mm\/yyyy\#")

Which machine?

 

[Emma35]

That's the odd thing Gasman....some records are ok but others don't seem to be recognising the fact that there are new entries for 2021 ?
I would have thought that the code would govern all records......so if it wasn't working on one then it wouldn't work on any ?

 

[Gasman]

Well you would need to supply the correct DB?
I used arnel's and that only has 3 records? A001 has two, one for 2020 and one for 2021 ?

It will, unless some other factor is involved.

Thanks Gasman you put me on the right track when you said 'other factor'. I went through everything and discovered that a colleague renamed the unbound text box when he was making a couple of changes while i was away. So i changed it back, rang him and told him he was an idiot, and everything's fine again.
Thanks
