[AccessD] First/last day of week

Yea, it just makes the huge selector set (a bunch of radio buttons?) into a
little combo box.  As long as your to/from text boxes are named the same as
I use you can just cut and paste the code in the form (the dim and the form
open) to get the class instantiated and running, otherwise you need to feed
in the names of your combo and to/from text boxes.

Muchas Gracias! I still use Julie's code so this is going to be pretty much
plug and play.

It is very cool.  A combo where you select things like:

Last year
Last quarter
Last month
This year
This quarter
This month 

Etc etc.

Then when you select something in the combo, it sets a date range in a pair
of (typically unbound) text boxes, which you then use for queries.  The
class raises an after update event for the combo (and the same event for the
text boxes as well - you can do a custom date range) so that the form that
is using the class can then set filters, copy the dates somewhere etc.

This all started with the code by one Julie Schwalm, Backroads Data, circa
1999.  I of course changed it into a class and changed her list to a combo.

I have just added "This week" and "Today" to the list because I need to be
able to see those ranges as well.

If you want this thing:

1) Go to www.colbyconsulting.com
1a) Register if you haven't already
1b) Login
2) Click Example Code / Withevent Demos
3) Down about the middle you will see DateRangeWithEvents.zip.  Download
that.
4) Unzip it and open the file.  An example form should open.
5) play with the combo selecting different date ranges and watching the
To/From text boxes change
6) open the form to see how to use it in a form.

Notice that it uses events.  The class raises an event, and the form CAN (if
you need it to) sink that event and do something with the event.  The
example does sink the event and displays a message.  Simply delete the event
handler from the form to not have the event sunk in the form.

Enjoy.

A date range selector class? Now that sounds cool.

>Busy multitasking week ..?

OMG, you can't believe! I am to the point where I am using Outlook to
schedule blocks of my time for specific client tasks.  0800-1700 filled with
1/2 hr lunch and then 2100-midnight as well.  And that for the next couple
of weeks, and possibly beyond.

Thanks for the functions.  I integrated them into my Date Range selector
class and now have a "This week" selection.
