Can I assign an active X calander to a query

Can an activex calander be used in a query to sort out data by a date range
and how can I extract from a date input say 01/03/2005, that this relates to
Monday,
ie "dd" =MON

An ActiveX control (calendar's or other types) are only used in Forms
and Reports (and I believe Data Access Pages).

To get the named day of the week you have to use 2 functions:

weekdayname(weekday(date))

I want to use the Active X calander to run the query, by placing it onto a
form, but how do I link the query with the calander.

Any help would be appreciated.

By refering to the calendar control in the query:

PARAMETERS Forms!form_name!calendar_control_name Date;
SELECT *
FROM table_name
WHERE date_column = Forms!form_name!calendar_control_name

Advice please, when I use the weekdayname(weekday([date]) in XP I get the
data I require ie Saturday, Monday etc. When I use this in ME, I get an error
message. Does any one know what the correct formula is for extracting the
day, from a date input.

Any help would be appreciated

The function doesn't rely on the operating system, it relies on the
version of VBA/Access you are running. What is the error message you
are receiving?

The program works fine on my works computer, but when running it on my own at
home this error message appears "Undefined function "weekdayname" in
expression.

All I am trying to do is to have a day output from a date for example by
entering a date of say 02/03/05, it will run the formula and place in another
column that this is a Wednesday.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

pardon me for jumping in.

An alternative expression would be
FORMAT([YourDateField],"dddd") for the full name or
Format([YourDateField[,"ddd") for an abbreviated name

RE your problem of working on computer A and not computer B.

To do its job, Access (like most modern programs) makes use of various external
program and object libraries that provide functionality that may be shared among
applications. References to the specific library files, including their
locations, are stored with your database. But these library modules may not be
in the same location on different machines, especially if they have different
versions of Microsoft Office. If you move a database from one machine to
another, these references may be "broken"; that is, one or more of the library
files may not be where the stored reference says it is.

When this happens, you need to take steps to let Access repair the broken
reference(s) ON THE COMPUTER WHERE THE FAILURE IS OCCURING.

Here are MVP Doug Steele's instructions for how to do it:

*** Quote ***

Any time functions that previously worked suddenly don't, the first thing to
suspect is a references problem.

This can be caused by differences in either the location or file version of
certain files between the machine where the application was developed, and where
it's being run (or the file missing completely from the target machine). Such
differences are common when new software is installed.

On the machine(s) where it's not working, open any code module (or open the
Debug Window, using Ctrl-G, provided you haven't selected the "keep debug window
on top" option). Select Tools | References from the menu bar. Examine all of the
selected references.

If any of the selected references have "MISSING:" in front of them, unselect
them, and back out of the dialog. If you really need the reference(s) you just
unselected (you can tell by doing a Compile All Modules), go back in and
reselect them.

If none have "MISSING:", select an additional reference at random, back out of
the dialog, then go back in and unselect the reference you just added. If that
doesn't solve the problem, try to unselect as many of the selected references as
you can (Access may not let you unselect them all), back out of the dialog, then
go back in and reselect the references you just unselected. (NOTE: write down
what the references are before you delete them, because they'll be in a
different order when you go back in)

For far more than you could ever want to know about this problem, check out
http://members.rogers.com/douglas.j....nceErrors.html

Just so you know: the problem will occur even if the library that contains the
specific function that's failing doesn't have a problem.

So, follow those instructions and see if your problem goes away.

Is it possible to view an message when you hover over a text box, or label. I
have seen this on other database, can this be done in Access,any help please.
