Really though, if you want to go with the table route, your table should have 2 fields. &nbsp;The first field should contain the numbers 1 thru 31, and the second field should be the spelled out number. &nbsp;Then you would just do a dlookup of the day portion of your date using the Day() function.<br />

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Please find attached Access Form Db.<br />
<br />
Please use the FormLookup form and you will notice the Record Name is not being found for certain dates. This would seem to be because the DLookup function is not able to know what is the day and month portion of the date (American and English notation being different) for days 1-12. The DateAdd function does not seem to have this problem and is able to add a day to the correct date.<br />
<br />
What is the problem?<br />

Hi Experts,

Please find attached Access Form Db.

Please use the FormLookup form and you will notice the Record Name is not being found for certain dates. This would seem to be because the DLookup function is not able to know what is the day and month portion of the date (American and English notation being different) for days 1-12. The DateAdd function does not seem to have this problem and is able to add a day to the correct date.

What is the problem?

Short dates with starting days 1-12 not being seen 13-31 OK

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
