Best way to accept a date from a user

Hi Guys,
Whats the best way to get a date from a user and add it in an
insert record to access.
I have a form that adds a record and it works well enough as
long as the data added is in the correct format.
Untill now ive just had a text box with an explination to the
user on how to add the date and what format....
But Im fed up with having to change bad entrys and need to
place a control or something on the form but dont know whats
easiest and best?
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks

If you want today's date set the database up to insert the
date
automatically. If you want other dates than today's use a
date picker or
calendar to insert the date.

    Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
    Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

  • Best Way to port the data from one DB to another DB using Biztalk

    Hi,
    please suggest best way to move the data from one db to another DB using biztalk.
    Currently I am doing like that, for each transaction(getting from different source tables) through receive port, and do some mapping (some custom logic for data mapping), then insert to target normalized tables(multiple tables) and back to update the status
    of transaction in source table in sourceDB. It is processing one by one.
    How/best we we can do it using  bulk transfer and update the status. Since it has more than 10000 transaction per call.
    Thanks,
    Vinoth

    Hi Vinoth,
    For SQL Bulk inserts you can always use SQL Bulk Load
    adapter.
    http://www.biztalkgurus.com/biztalk_server/biztalk_blogs/b/biztalksyn/archive/2005/10/23/processing-a-large-flat-file-message-with-biztalk-and-the-sqlbulkinsert-adapter.aspx
    However, even though a SQL Bulk Load adapter can efficiently insert a large amount of data into SQL you are still stuck with the issues of transmitting the
    MessageBox database and the memory issues of dealing with really large messages.
    I would personally suggest you to use SSIS, as you have mentioned that records have to be processed in specific time of day as opposed to when the
    records are available.
    Please refer to this link to get more information about SSIS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141026.aspx
    If you have any more questions related to SSIS, please ask it in
    SSIS 
    forum and you will get specific support.

  • What is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac?

    what is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac? I don't have a time capsule, so I cannot use time machine.
    thanks

    Your best bet by far is to use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up to transfer directly from the old one. 
    It's similar to Migration Assistant, but doing it that way will avoid having an extra user account.
    Either way, you can connect them via FireWire, Thunderbolt, or your network, but avoid wireless if at all possible.  You can connect both to your netwrork via Ethernet, or put a single cable between the two. 
    See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for details.

  • What is the best way to mimic the data from production to other server?

    Hi,
    here we user streams and advanced replication to send the data for 90% of tables from production to another production database server. if one goes down can use another one. is there any other best option rather using the streams and replication? we are having lot of problems with streams these days they keep break and get calls.
    I heard about data guard but dont know what is use of it? please advice the best way to replicate the data.
    Thanks a lot.....

    RAC, Data Guard. The first one is active-active, that is, you have two or more nodes accessing the same database on shared storage and you get both HA and load balancing. The second is active-passive (unless you're on 11.2 with Active Standby or Snapshot Standby), that is one database is primary and the other is standby, which you normally cannot query or modify, but to which you can quickly switch in case primary fails. There's also Logical Standby - it's based on Streams and generally looks like what you seem to be using now (sort of.) But it definitely has issues. You can also take a look at GoldenGate or SharePlex.

  • What is the best way to remove personal data from the hard drive in preparation for selling my old Mac?

    I am going to sell or perhaps donate my old Power Mac G5.  Is there an easier, yet comprehensive way to remove my data from the hard-drive?  My best approach is dumping anything I do not want found into the trash.
    I am running Mac OS 10.5.8 on the powermac G5

    For better security than the simple Erase (which does not actually over-write the data blocks, only clears the directory), choose Security Options, and Zero all data, one pass.
    After a Zero all data, the only way to recover the data is to dis-assemble the drive in a clean room and use expensive test gear to recover a little of the data. That is good for all but Military Secrets.
    If you really trust no one under any circumstances, remove the drive and beat it to death with a hammer.

  • Best way to use basic data from another DB?

    Hi, I have a database where I need to use basic information such as (Table Person and other Human Resources tables) My database needs those tables, should I create those tables in my model too? and through scripts fill that information? or there is a direct way to do it, such as a trigger or something. Can you give different solutions with different database engines? such as Oracle, mysql or MSSQL or just one thanks a lot!

    diego10 wrote:
    I see I need to be specific, Well from MSSQL to Oracle
    You could have a process on MSSQL to push data to Oracle.  In this case, MSSQL is just another client to the oracle database, using MSSQL "linked server".  This could be a scheduled batch process or a trigger.  (I'm assuming MSSQL has triggers).
    You could have a process on Oracle pull data from MSSQL via a db_link in the Oracle database.  Obviously a trigger would not be useful, because there would be no triggering event on the Oracle database.
    You could create a view in the oracle database that selects from MSSQL via a db_link.  This would avoid trying to keep duplicated data in sync, but would not allow the app in Oracle to actually maintain the data, just view it when needed.
    The best solution will depend on the specific needs.

  • Best way to push change data from sql server to windows/web application

    i apologized that i do not know should i ask this question in this forum or not.
    i have win apps which will load all data initially from db and display through grid but from the next time when any data will change in db or any data will be inserted newly in db then only change or newly inserted data need to be pushed from db side to
    my win apps. now only sql dependency class is coming to my mind but there is a problem regarding sql dependency class that it notify client but do not say which data is updated or inserted.
    so i am looking for best guidance and easy way to achieve my task. what will be the best way to push data from sql server to win or web client.
    there is two issue
    1) how to determine data change or data insert. i guess that can be handle by trigger
    2) next tough part is how very easily push those data from sql server end to win apps end.
    so looking for expert guide. thanks

    Hello,
    Yes, you can create DML trigger on INSERT and UPDATE to get the changed data into a temp table. And then query the temp table from application.
    If you are use SQL Server 2008 or later version, you can also try to use
    Change data capture, which
    can track insert, update, and delete activity that is applied to a SQL Server table and store the changed values on the Change Table.

  • Best way to copy ALL DATA from song to song?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm in the middle of scoring a film and have ran into what seems to be a corrupted song, and want to attempt to transfer all data from this song into a new file.
    I'm running multiple global tracks with changes in tempos and time sigs all over, multiple audio tracks, and various Virtual instruments. I also have an extensive environment in which I use instrument tracks to access my exs instruments, as well as multi-instrument tracks for kontakt 2. Of course I have this saved as a template, but as you know as projects progress, the current song rarely looks like your autoload. So simply copying and pasting will not work, as I have many new instruments and audio files in different places in my arrange page. Thus when I try to copy and paste, logic sees that the current tracks are not "correct" and asks to "create new instruments" which seems to randomly throw all the instruments to the bottom of my arrange page, making it all out of whack!
    With some help from the audio config window and some manual editing of the arrange page, I was able to get my song pretty much back to normal, but for future reference, what is the best way to transfer all of my data to another song, while still keeping the look and functionality of the song intact?
    Thanks in advance for your help! If it helps to see what I'm talking about, I'm willing to post my song file for reference, just ask.

    I'd LOVE to somehow avoid #4 if possible. As I stated
    above, my projects always change from the templates
    due to extra audio tracks, audio instruments, etc, so
    a simple "copy and paste" does not seem to work.
    Is there something I'm missing?
    Yup, I was missing something really simple. If you choose NOT to copy instruments, it will ask you to keep the instrument or create a new track. If you keep the instrument (since my instruments names remained the same as the template) logic will connect the tracks with the instruments and only put the additional tracks (i.e. extra audio tracks etc) on the bottom. WAY COOL!
    Now my process is a little easier, however if you have any other tips so share please feel free to post.

  • Best way to Back up data from Windows PC to my Mac?

    What is the best way that I can connect my Mac to one of my friends PCs so that I can back up his personal data then reinstall his OS?

    That's going to be really tough without a spare HD for the Mac... but then you could just hook that to the PC for faster backup.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/bott_03july14.mspx
    But I should question why you want to back it up then restore it... is it infected or something? Normally you'd erase everything and Install anew to get rid of problems... if you don't have previous Restore Points set, (which doesn't work 100% either btw).

  • Best way to pass back data from hierarchical table view?

    Hi,
    I have a view hierarchy using a navigation controller that's working pretty well. One of the bottom level views is a table view where the user selects an item from the list. This bottom view checks the list item, saves the selected item in a property, and then pops the view off the stack.
    What's the best way to alert the parent view that the child view has been popped off so it can retrieve the value in the property? The calling push returns immediately, so it doesn't appear to be a modal call. I want to be able to use the same controller from other parent forms, so I need to be able to do this without referencing the parent in the child form ideally.
    Thanks

    Hi, well let me try to explain it a bit more
    - Add a "delegate" property to your child-viewcontroller-class
    - Define a protocoll within each chil-viewController-class
    In this example let us name it "didSelectValue:(NSString *)value"
    - In the parent-viewcontroller before pushing a child-viewcontroller set it's delegate property to "self" (parent-viewcontroller)
    - In the parent-viewcontroller implement to protocoll-method "didSelectValue:(NSTring *)value"
    - In the child view-controller in (assuming it is a tableViewcontroller) add some code in didSelectRowAtIndexPath that checks if the delegate is set and check if it responds to selector "didSelectValue:(NSString *)value". If so, call it with the selected value.

  • Best way to remove old data from db?

    Hi,
    I am looking some ways to keep my database small and remove old data from database and archive it somewhere else. the data may need to be put back to the database in the future. One of the things I am conserned is how to enforce constraints? In other words, when I remove data, all the related pk/fk data should be removed together. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    hope this may help u
    concept is : exp/imp & truncate will reclaim the space
    method1
    do an export and secure the dump(say dump1) for future purpose.
    delete the unwanted data.
    commit.
    now again export the tables ( say dump2).
    now do the import(dump2).
    /*now this import will reclaim the the unused space.*/
    method 2
    /* depennded on volume of data */
    -- create backup of existing table for future
    create table backup_table nologging as select * from original_table;
    -- create copy1 of existing table
    create table copy_table nologging as select * from original_table;
    -- truncate the original table, so that highwater mark is reset.
    truncate table original_table;
    -- insert data from copy_table into original table
    insert /*+ APPEND */ into original_table select * copy_table where(ur conditions for data);
    commit all the work.
    /* now u have 3 tables
    backup_table - with all the data - for future reload
    original_table - with unwanted data deleted and space reclaimed.
    copy_table - copy of original table.
    now u drop the copy_table
    drop table copy_table;

    Intel Hex Format is a text format describing binary data, usually used for chip programming devices. Besides records for the actual data itself it also allows for addressing records, such that you only need to have the data in the file that needs to be written to the chip, even if the various areas are all over the address range of the chip. Since it is a well known format for hardware developers, some people coming here assume that everybody knows what it is. Of course many true softies may never have heard of it.
