Missing Data-Datestamp & Default Numbers
Morning, we have a database which tracks Leave. I have a Datestamp
field which enters the date and time of the entry, plus 4 hour fields which are defaulted to zero. Plus I have a field that records what PC entered the data, compterrname. However, when we moved to Access 2007, using Access 2003 data these fields no longer show any entry, they are all blank. You have to enter zero and a number for the 4 fields to get the other reports ect. to work right? Any suggestions. Thanks |

Missing Data-Datestamp & Default Numbers
07 does not have an auto 0 as the default for a number field. but you can
set it to do so. when you say that it "no longer shows data"...that is a bit disconcerting....a leading 0 that appears in a text defined field, will disappear if it is changed to a number defined field: i.e. 00005 in a text field will change to 5 in a number field. not sure if that is germain to your situation or not.... -- NTC " wrote: Morning, we have a database which tracks Leave.

Thanks, I'm sorry... we are running Access in the 2003 Compatibility
format. And on the Table I have the Date Entry field default setting : =Now() ; The number fields default settings = 0; and for the Computer Name I have that setting =Environ(ComputerName). Does that help? Thanks again |

Does that help? Thanks again- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Found an article that on a form you need to set the default there in the fields properties for 2007. I did that and now I get the 0 for each leave type as a default. Thanks |
