Using Now() In Access

[sup3rsgt]

Hi,

I have imported an Excel Workbook in Access

In the spreadsheet was a formula to say how old an object is (=(NOW()-$L122)/365)

I was wondering if there was a way of replicating that in Access, and match to each object in the Database

Regards

yes , but to calc the time (in days, d), use DateDiff("d",dateOfObj,Now())
(or hours h, or seconds, s....)
but what do you call an object? You use it on data.

By Object I mean an Item in the Database so in this case a Server.

How would i apply that? would it be as an expression?

[ranman256]

yes, use it as an expression in a query or or form on a field.

(objects are something different in access and excel.)

Thanks for the help got that working now.

One more question is there any way or adding colour similar to conditional formatting?

Textbox and combobox controls have Conditional Formatting. Can be found on the ribbon Format tab when form or report in design view.
