Optional Date Parameter By Richard Rost 16 days ago Optional Date Parameter in Access VBA, Default Today In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to create optional date parameters in VBA that default to today's date when not specified by the user. We'll tackle common errors like "constant expression required" and learn a clever method to assign default values, ensuring your functions run smoothly without requiring input dates. Carson from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina (a Platinum Member) asks: Hi, I'm trying to write a function in VBA that requires a date parameter, but I want it to default to today's date if I don't specify one. I tried using the Date() function as the default value, but it doesn't seem to work. I get a "compile error: constant expression required." Is there a way to make this happen? Can you show me how to do it? MembersThere is no extended cut, but here is the database download: Silver Members and up get access to view Extended Cut videos, when available.
