Shortcut to insert today's date in a cell?

does anybody have a clue about it?
thanks again

Hello
You got the storm because it is easier to write this kind of thing in our native language.
Here many posters are accustomed to the fact that when the old helper I am meet a French poster, he respond in French.
In my post I wrote about two sources of info because sometimes the Help contains typos which are not in the PDF.
In your problem it's more painful because both documents contains the same typo.
The apostrophe char is not allowed in a function name so the correct spelling is AUJOURD.HUI()
But in fact it was just in front of you.
Just above the A column header you may see a white cross in a red circle.
Just on the left of it is a button showing ƒx.
Click on it and you will get an "Insert function" tool.
Select the group "date time" (date et heure) and you will get the functions ready to insert.
In this tool there is a single error: the french Help named a function "STXT" but, its true name is "MILIEU". Alas, when you try to insert MILIEU(), it inserts STXT().
Apple France is aware of that but for some reasons, the correction will require some times.
If someone on this forum knows the file containing the strings used by this tool, I am interested.
With the info I hope that I would be able to repair this oddity.
If you enter this link,
<http://idisk.mac.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
you will be able to download a dictionary of functions names whith comments about oddities already discovered.

Clearing today's date otherwise insert today's date

Sorry for the bad title. I'm trying to insert today's date by default, but I want the user to be able to change it. If they leave the field blank, I want acrobat to reinsert today's date. What's wrong with my code?
var val = this.getField('Day').value;
var today = util.printd("d", new Date());
if( val == today)
    val = "";
if( val = "" )
    val = util.printd("d", new Date());
this.getField('Day').value = val;

    OnFocus -> Run a Javascript
if( this.getField("Month").value == util.printd("mm", new Date()) )
    this.getField("Month").value = "";
     OnBlue -> Run a Javascript
if (this.getField("Month").value == "")
    this.getField("Month").value = util.printd("mm", new Date());
    OnFocus -> Run a Javascript
if( this.getField("Year").value == util.printd("yyyy", new Date()) )
    this.getField("Year").value = "";
     OnBlue -> Run a Javascript
if (this.getField("Year").value == "")
    this.getField("Year").value = util.printd("yyyy", new Date());

Insert Today's Date into query

I created a query and want it to filter based on todays date. How do I automatically add todays date to the query so the user does not need to type it in?

Yes you are right. You will need to use WHERE convert(varchar, T0.refdate, 103) = convert(varchar, getdate(), 103)
This is because the getdate() is actually a datetime field and returns current date and current time so in the previous statement you are asking for journal fields where the posting date = todays date AND the exact time that the query is run which is never going to be true.
If you just use getdate()-1 you will also get yesterdays' journals posted after this time yesterday.

Automatically insert today's date upon opening

How can I have a text field automatically update with the current date from the system clock upon opening of the document?
I have a read-only text field called "Current Date" and I can get this to work using the following script:
this.getField("Current Date").value = util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy", new Date());
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be very consistent. How can I get this to run, and recheck the system clock for the current date, every time the document is opened?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Gotcha. I was originally looking in the "Set Document Actions" menu but I didn't see anything for "on open". I wasn't aware that Document JavaScripts fit that bill.
Thanks a million!

Entering today's date

There surely should be a fast, convenient way to enter today's date in a Numbers spread. Haven't found one or reference to such and Numbers Help is no help on this one. Command-hyphen which does exactly that in FileMaker Pro, another Apple product, doesn't work in Numbers.
Right now I'm copying another date to the clipboard, selecting the target field, paste, then revise — a very tedious process.
Much appreciated.

Insert document expiration date in a Word template

Hello all,
I have a problem I hope anyone can help me with. I need to include a column in Document Library with the Document expiration date and after that, include that expiration date into the Word templates I have in that library.
In order to do that, I created a date column (not a calculated one) called "ExpDate" with a default value of Today + 365 as I want the document to expire one year after its creation. After that, I edit the word templates I have associated to the
document library so as to include the new "ExpDate" column as a Quick part.
The problem I find is the following: When I create a new document based in the document templates (through content types), the user has the chance to insert an expiration date (as it is metadata) or leave it empty (the column is not defined as mandatory). If
the user leaves the expiration date empty, the new column is filled with the default value (today + 365 days) but when I open the word document I see the name of the column [ExpDate] instead of the default value.
Is there a way of forcing the document information panel to be filled with the default value?
Do you imagine an alternative solution to the requirement of including the expiration date inside the document without having to be defined by the user?
Thanks a lot.
Regards.

Wordsub.llb should be somewhere in your Labview folder on your local drive. The path to it in my install is: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb
Also what specific problem are you referring to about 17 bookmarks? Is that the limit on the express style VI for filling them in from LV? If so what you will need to do is to use the lower level function 'Word Insert Field' under Word Advanced VIs. You will need to supply the VI the name of the bookmark and the text you want to insert.

Do I need to use javascript to get a text field in a PDF form to aut fill with current/today's date?

I have a form for booking appointments and would like the date field to automatically fill with
today's date and to print. I have set the text field's format to "Date" and when I place the cursor into the
date field, today's date shows. It disappears as soon as I tab to the next field.
Does this action require a javascript script to fill and print today's date? If so, where do I find that?
Or is there another way to format the text field (besides typing today's date) to get the current date?
Thanks.

Thank you GKaiseril!
From the examples by Chris Dahl, I edited the script in the text field editing dialog to reflect the title I had given the field. That fixed the problem of today's date disappearing as soon as I tabbed to the next field.
How do I choose for document level or page open script? I would like it to insert the date upon opening the document.
Thanks again.

Date query doesn't show results for today's date

Hello everyone. I use Jdeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 with ADF and I have a view named query with just one field, Date. The operator it is using is equal to a value written in the field. The problem is that when I insert a row into the table (the date is automatically set to the current date on insertion) and I look for today's date it returns nothing. However if I leave the field empty it will find me the row. I tried doing this with the timestamp option but it's not very user friendly as the user would have to type in the time the row was inserted in order to find it, or use the between operator for two fields which is something I want to avoid if at all possible
The requirement is one field query that lets the user choose a date from a calendar and shows all rows inserted on that date (even if the date is today and the row was inserted a few minutes before).

Dino2dy,
My guess is that the data being stored in the DB has a time component associated with it (as it would if you were using something like SYSDATE to populate it). When you are trying to look for data with today's date, you are checking just for the date - which in Oracle is the equivalent of midnight on the start of the date. The dates don't match because the time is different.
Either store the date with no time component (use TRUNC to remove the time), use a BETWEEN comparison, or TRUNC the date when comparing.

LibreOffice Calc - insertion of current date returns strange result

Hey,
When i want to insert the current date with the command TODAY() i get a result like this:
25.[~bu250i0t] Oktober 2011
The [~bu250i0t] is obviously what annoys me! How do i get it away?
Cheers

Why the language? My mother tongue happens to be German, nothing wrong about that!
I just want to get rid of the digits and letters within the date...

How do I get iTunes songs off the iCloud back onto my computer, preferably without changing the purchase date to today's date?

Trying to download previously purchased iTunes songs that are firmly embedded in the iCloud. At one point these songs were all on my computer. Then I idiotically joined iCloud. All the songs were sucked off and into iCloud. iCloud couldn't provide more than twenty seconds of any song without freezing whatever device, Macbook Pro, iPhone 4s, ipods, or breaking up the playback into fits and starts and finally silence, ever, no matter if the connection was cable or wireless.
I have ever update on every device, I have the max. RAM, excess disk/flash space. The problem is the difficulty of downloading. Oddly the download to my ancient PC went almost without a hitch, it is with Apple devices that the trouble lies.
About 2/3 of the songs have successfully downloaded to my computer. However the purchase date, which I used frequently as a search/sort function, have on many of the songs been switched to today's date, or the date of the latest download instead of my original purchase date.
Many songs downloaded, many remain in the cloud with the 'cloud' icon beside them.
Clicking on the "download all" icon doesn't download them all.
They begin to download and then stop/freeze.
I'm reduced to manually scrolling to each song and clicking on the 'cloud' to download, this works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. The whole thing usually crashes after a while.
This is where I am now, at the iTunes store on the "Purchased" page with all my songs in a list with "downloaded" or a "cloud icon" in the far right column, frozen once again.
I really would like to maintain the original purchased date(the day when I purchased the song from iTunes) but I'm to the point where I'd just be happy to get them downloaded onto the Macbook Pro, and hopefully never deal with the cloud again for the rest of my life.
Lastly, if anyone can recommend an alternative music site to iTunes it would be welcome.
Thank you.

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

Can you create a keyboard shortcut to insert a css comment (/* */)in DW?

hello DW knowers!
When writing code i like to use shortcuts for inserting commands.
For instance, to insert a html comment, i created a shortcut in the panel for creating shortcuts (you can do this finding in the shortcuts panel the 'insert' option and then find 'comment').
however, i did not find a way to create this for a css comment (/* */) and i find myself forced to use the coding toolbar to insert this.
I would really like to find a way to avoid this. Ofcoarse i can still type it in manually, or use the css rules panel to temporarely deactivate a rule, but selecting a piece of code and then typing a shortcut would be much easier.
Otherwise a great idea for the next upgrade of DW?
thanks for an answer, if there is a possibility

I use a Logitech G19 keyboard, which allows you to create one keypress shortcuts for virtually any keypress sequence. It has ten extra keys on the left side of the keyboard which you can program however you please (a total of 30 shortcuts). This particular keyboard is kind of expensive ($200) but there are other less expensive keyboards that offer similar capabilities. Think how many times a day you type <p> or how about <a href= . With a keyboard like this, you can do it in one keypress.

Trying to access a page in the cache, but it only has the entries from today's date, even though my history goes back for more than a month. Is it all gone?

I used the about:cache function and clicked on the option to view the files, but it only shows today's date. I have history for much further back. Have all the cache files been removed? If not, where can I find them? It's somewhat urgent.
Thanks. :)

this is normal behaviour - the cache is only a temporary file store & sites can specify if/how long data should be stored. everything that isn't showing up in about:cache is gone

How do I check that the today's date is = a date

I have a form on my site that is designed to only come live after a certain date to avoid people plaguing me with false claims.
It is accessed by a link from another page.
I want the link to only be shown after that date.
Working in asp, of which I have not a lot of knowledge, how would I set up asp code for the following logic, the date being the one that I need to use:
If the system date is > 26 February 2011 then write "Here is the link to the prize draw claim form"
else write "The link to the claim form will not be available until the 27th February"
Would this be able to be placed in line on a Dreamweaver template page and would it just fit on the page in line with the other code?
Seems simple enough to most people but its got me totally baffled!

No answers from anyone yet but here is my first rough attempt:
<html>
<head>
<title>How to make a claim</title>
<script language="JScript" type="text/jscript">
   function dateComp() {
// Get today's date
    var s = new Date();
    // Create the date of the draw
var td = new Date('2/26/2011')
if (s > td )
s = "The draw will take place on the 26 February 2011" ;
else
s= " Go to http://www.lottery/claims.asp to make a claim.";
    return (s);
</script>
</body>
</html>
<script language="JScript" type="text/jscript">
document.write(dateComp())
</script>
</html>
</body>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This works fine in that it outputs a message on the screen. However, whilst it looks like a link on this page, all it does on a live page is print the text, rather than inject the code into the page.
What do I use instead of document.write(dateComp) to inject the code and create a link?
