Hi, JR.
Is there a Macro that can do this?
No. A Macro can't do this, but as Rick says, an update query will. If you
want to change a whole batch of records so that they have identical
expiration dates, then create a new query and open the SQL View pane, then
copy and paste one of the following SQL statements into it:
1.) This will only update records for the current year:
UPDATE tblMyTable
SET ExpiresDate = #12/31/2005#
WHERE (Year(SomeDate) = 2005);
2.) This will update every record in the table, regardless of the year:
UPDATE tblMyTable
SET ExpiresDate = #12/31/2005#;
Next, replace tblMyTable with the name of your table, ExpiresDate with the
name of your "Expiration Date" field, and 12/31/2005 with the date you'd like
to set these records to all at once. If you're using the first SQL
statement, then replace SomeDate with the name of your own date field which
contains a value indicating that the record is for this year, and replace
2005 with whatever year that needs the records' expiration date changed.
HTH.
