Current Running Days
Thomas Corbett 
     
5 years ago
Hi, my question is a two part. Within one form I have a clock running for each second, minute, hour and day. I then have a field that calculates the difference between two fields, the Date of Entry and the current date and time. That field then properly shows the current running days of an event.

Question One - Is there a way of having all records in this form updated within the database without having to skip through each record allowing them to update?

Question Two - Is there a way to send this data to update all queries and graphs related to the field, current running days?

Thanks in Advance

If it were me I would not put the elapsed time in a field.  The second you update it - it is out of date again.

I would put the calculation into a query and then base your reports and charts etc off the query.  That way each time they are generated they would be up to date as of the moment.

Otherwise - do a search on "Update Queries"  That will be your best way to update lots of records at one go.

I agree with Scott. Is there a reason why you're constantly updating ALL of those records?
