Using the Date() Function in QueriesAccess has two date function features that you should know about. A description of themfollows:1. The following built-in function gives you today’s date:Date()You can use this function in a query criteria or in a calculated field. The function“returns” the day on which the query is run—that is, it puts that value into the placewhere the function is in an expression.2. Date arithmetic lets you subtract one date from another to obtain the number of daysdifference. Access would evaluate the following expression as the integer 5 (9 less 4is 5).10/9/2006 – 10/4/2006Here is an example of how date arithmetic works. Suppose that you want to give eachemployee a bonus equaling a dollar for each day the employee has worked for you. You’dneed to calculate the number of days between the employee’s date of hire and the day that thequery is run, then multiply that number by 1.The number of elapsed days is shown by the following equation:Date() – [Date Hired]Suppose that for each employee, you want to see the last name, SSN, and bonus amount.You’d set up the query as shown in Figure B-34.Tutorial BFigure B-34Date arithmetic in a queryAssume that you set the format of the Bonus field to Currency. The output will be similarto Figure B-35. (Your Bonus data will be different because you are working on a date differentfrom the date when this tutorial was written.)Microsoft Access Tutorial 29
