MS Access Forum / Database Design / December 2004Variant data type
Im trying to assign auto date(current date) to the date field.However everytime I do this, there is an error, saying im trying to assign a null value to the variable that is not a variant data type.Im using: =date(). Is there a way I can change the date variable to a variant datatype. >Im trying to assign auto date(current date) to the date field.However >everytime I do this, there is an error, saying im trying to assign a null >value to the variable that is not a variant data type.Im using: =date(). Is >there a way I can change the date variable to a variant datatype. There are a couple of possible causes of this error: - Check your References. Open the VBA editor and select Tools... References from the menu. If one is marked MISSING, many things will get messed up, calls to Date() amongst them. Uncheck the checkbox by the missing reference, and (if it's needed) recheck it. Close and open Access and see if the problem is resolved. If not, doublecheck that the file referred to by the reference does in fact exist in the pointed-to directory. - If you have a field or a control named Date, Access may be getting confused. Rename it. John W. Vinson[MVP] Join the online Access Chats Tuesday 11am EDT - Thursday 3:30pm EDT http://community.compuserve.com/msdevapps |
