Question : MS Access 2003 - Assign Current Date and Current time to two different keystrokes

Here is what I am trying to do. I have a form that has the date field and a separate time field. I want the user to press CTRL + D and have the system date entered into the selected field and then when the user presses  CTRL+T, have the current time entered into the selected time field.

I do know about CTRL +: but it would be easier to do this with CTRL + D and CTRL + T.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Answer : MS Access 2003 - Assign Current Date and Current time to two different keystrokes

try using the AutoKeys macro, see if that helps

http://www22.brinkster.com/accessory/macros/002.shtml

u could create functions

public function InsDate()
    Screen.ActiveControl.Value = Date()
end function

public function InsTime()
    Screen.ActiveControl.Value = format(Now(),"Short Time")
end function


One thing to add though, if u want this specific to a form then u need to ensure u check the form name
otherwise your keys will work allover

note, once u create Autokeys u have to restart DB

e.g.

Public Function InsDate()
    If Screen.ActiveForm.name = "frmMyForm" Then Screen.ActiveControl.Value = Date()
End Function



this works well as Ive just tested it



then call these via macros
