I am trying to show the items that will expire in the next 30 days. If
it has already expired I need to show that the item has expired.
The below code I tried having a calculated field (txtExpireDays) that
calculates the DateDiff to determine the number of days between the
Early Expiration date & today's date.
If the item is going to expire it shows a message that "Some items will
expire in "number of" days." If the item's expiration date has passed
(it is expired) then the DateEarlyExp field is red & it's label shows -
"Expired".
I placed this in the OnCurrent. The problem is (I think) if you hit a
record with a Null DateEarlyExp it keeps the previous records
calculations & shows that on the screen as you scroll through the
records.
Should the DateDiff calculation be somewhere in the with the code
OnCurrent instead of a separate text box? Did I write this completely
wrong (a better way to do this)?
Text box on the form (hidden) 'DateEarlyExp.value =
DateDiff('d',Date(),[DateEarlyExp])
If (txtExpireDays > 0 And txtExpireDays <= 31) Then
Me.lblExpire.Visible = True
Me.lblExpire.ForeColor = lngRed
lblExpire.Caption = "Some items will expire in " & txtExpireDays & "
days"
ElseIf txtExpireDays < 1 Then
Me.DateEarlyExp.ForeColor = lngRed
EarlyExpLabel.ForeColor = lngRed
EarlyExpLabel.Caption = "Item Expired:"
Else
lblExpire.Visible = False
EarlyExpLabel.Caption = "Early expiration:"
EarlyExpLabel.ForeColor = 8388608
Me.DateEarlyExp.ForeColor = lngBlack
End If
