I want to have the current date appear in the date box on my field
automatically. I looked up this information on Access help and received this:
2003 Access Instructions:
1. Type the first four characters of the current date.
For example, type febr for February. Microsoft Word displays the current
month: "February."
2. Press ENTER to insert the month, and then type some more of the current
date, such as a space, the day of the month, and a comma.
Word displays the current date—for example, "12-13-2002" or "13 February
2002."
3. Press ENTER to insert the entire date.
Note If the current date is not displayed, it may be necessary to turn on
the AutoComplete feature. On the Insert menu, point to AutoText, and then
click AutoText. Select the Show AutoComplete suggestions check box.
Well, I have tried to turn the AutoComplete feature on, and I have tiried
this in Design, Form, DataSheet, PivotTable and PivotChart View and NONE of
them have the Autotext feature described above. What view, am I supposed to
use?
The same thing applies to this help feature:
The Save AutoRecover feature can be set to whatever time increment is desired.
2003 Access Instructions:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Save tab.
2. Select the Save AutoRecover info every check box.
3. In the minutes box, specify how often it is desired to have Microsoft
Office program to save files.
Note: Do not use AutoRecover as a substitute for regularly saving your work
by clicking Save on the Standard toolbar .
Where is the SAVE tab? Why doesn't my copy of MC Office Pro 2003 have these
features? Please re-explain to me how I can find and use the automatic spell
as you go and automatic date insert features described by the MS Access Help.
Thank you
