Setting field in table to user input
Setting field in table to user input
(OP)
I am a MIS student working on a work-study database project. For this DB, I automatically import a text file into a table each week. I wish to allow the user to define the date of the information to go into a field. I know how to format the field for today's date, however this won't work if the user cannot import data each Friday since I then query the table by date. (This is a database regarding timecard information). I was hoping to have an input box of somekind that could be linked to the field, but so far Access doesn't like my code - Is it possible to define a input in a table?
If anyone could help me that would be great!

RE: Setting field in table to user input
If you are creating a new table every time, use the InputBox to get the date. Then after the import, add a field to the table using the TableDef object. Then run an update query to put the date in the field.
Let me know if that sounds like what you want.
