Date..........

Hi all,

Need some help/advice on the following issue pls.

I would like to populate a combo box with value of the months.

I want the box to be populated with the month of September and October, and for the box to add the current month in automatically. i.e if I ran the app in December I would want all months from September to December to be populated in the box.

Any ideas please.

Code:

---

    For x = 9 To Month(Now)
        Combo1.AddItem x
    Next x

---

Thanks for the above...

I know that the month pulls out a number representing the month, can it pull out the name of the month???


thanks,

Use the MonthName function.


MsgBox MonthName(Month(Now))

You would have to make an array for the results:

private monthname() as string

Code:

---

Monthname=Array("January", "February", .... "December")

For x = 9 To Month(Now)
        Combo1.AddItem Monthname(x)
Next x

Hi guys,

below is a some code i was working on to compare a date with a value and pull out all dates till th ecurrent month.

what would be the correct syntax for the Next m line of code, and do you think that this will work?


Sub GetDate()
FirstDate = "01/09/2000"
m = FirstDate

Do While m <= Date
n = MonthName(m) & Year(m)
AnalystCallMonitor.cbMonthFr.AddItem n & y
Next m (((would like m to equal the next month here))))))
End Sub


thanks again all

Rocks the VB Newbie

I am not sure, but this may help. It populates a combobox with all dates from Sept 1, 2000 to the current day's date.

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim startDate As Date
    startDate = "08/31/2000"
   
    While startDate < Now
        startDate = DateAdd("d", 1, startDate)
        Combo1.AddItem startDate
    Wend
End Sub

Maybe you could use something from it for the routine you are writing.

Oops, it goes through to the next day, but you can add code to stop prior to that.

(uses the North American date format: mm/dd/yy)

Another question, same topic...
if after we click on the december... can we have a list of all the days in that month? just like when we click filr.. it goes down... and sometime we have choice to go left...

For i = 9 To Month(Now)
Combo1.AddItem MonthName(i)
Next

[code]
for i=1 to datediff("d",cdate("01/" & month(now)),cdate("01/" & month(now)+1 ))
list2.additem i
next i
[/code}

Dragonyian,

The following code uses two combo boxes. Select a month from the first one and the second one shows all days for that month.

Not real pretty, but it works. Perhaps you can modify it for your use.

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Combo1.AddItem "January"
    Combo1.AddItem "February"
    Combo1.AddItem "March"
    Combo1.AddItem "April"
    Combo1.AddItem "May"
    Combo1.AddItem "June"
    Combo1.AddItem "July"
    Combo1.AddItem "August"
    Combo1.AddItem "September"
    Combo1.AddItem "October"
    Combo1.AddItem "November"
    Combo1.AddItem "December"
End Sub

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
    Dim selMonth As Integer
    Dim startDate As Date
    Dim endDate As Date
    Dim yearCheck As Integer
   
    selMonth = Combo1.ListIndex + 1
    Combo2.Clear
   
    startDate = Str(selMonth) & "/01/" & Str(Year(Now))

    If selMonth <> 12 Then
        yearCheck = Str(Year(Now))
    Else
        yearCheck = Str(Year(Now) + 1)
        selMonth = "0"
    End If
       
    endDate = Str(selMonth + 1) & "/01/" & yearCheck
   
    startDate = DateAdd("d", -1, startDate)
    endDate = DateAdd("d", -1, endDate)
   
    While startDate < endDate
        startDate = DateAdd("d", 1, startDate)
        Combo2.AddItem startDate
    Wend

End Sub
