Query about to find which customers have birthday today

[gstylianou]

I greet all,


I would appreciate if anyone can help me with the query which I want to create about finding the date of birth of the customer.


I explain:




I have a table (tblCustomers) which among others contains the field "DateOfBirth". I would like to create a query so that looking into tblCustomer about the dates where the month and day of birth of the client is the same as the Date () so that I know every day which customers have birthdays.


Thank you in advance

Here is one way. In your query, create a calculated field which return the Month and Day of your Birth date, something like:
Expr1: Format([Birth],"mmdd")
Then, in the Criteria row under this calculated field, enter:
Format(Date(),"mmdd")
Then the query will only return people whose birthday is today.

Note: If you de-select the "Show" box under this calculated field, it will not show the calculation in the fields it returns (if you do not wish to see that).

assuming your DOB field doesn't include any time element... then in a query of tblCustomers you should be able to put the criteria in the DOB field as: Date()

give it a try and see if that works

That would only work if they were born today, not if they have a birthday today! (all date fields have a year component to them).
