Formatting Date & Time In VbScript
I'm passing the current date and time to a DATETIME coloumn in my database and it's so far proved very finicky about what format it will accept. It seems to want it like so:
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
I'm not sure but I think it will only accept the '24 hour' time. (Military time; ie. 17:58:23) The following line of code works and the database will accept it:
Code:
Year(Date) & "-" & Month(Date) & "-" & Day(date) & " " & FormatDateTime(Time,4) & ":" & Second(Time)
But it seems like an awful waste of declarations. Can anyone suggest a sleeker way of getting the date & time formatted so the database will accept it? Or if you're familiar with the MySQL DATETIME type, let me know the best acceptable way to pass this info.

I am having a little bit of trouble converting some time/date formatting.
I am retreiving it from an existing database we have (MS SQL) with
"SELECT * from table"
It is in this format "01/02/2005 13:31:00"
e.g. "DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS"
I need to convert this to the format to YYYY-MM-DD e.g "2005-02-08"
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Perhaps some sort of more advanced sql query, or ASP scripting.

how i can format a date/time field from an access db, so it displays the date followed by just the hours and minutes of the time and not the seconds. The information is stored in the db using Now() so it contains the date and the time. I want it to show dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm .

I'm developing in ASP/VBScript using DreamweaberMX, w/ an Access 2000 DB as the
data source. The source of the data is coming from a third party, which I get as
a CSV and import into the database, updating it weekly.
Since I have no control over how the data is collected, I'm not sure how to fix
this problem, but here it is.
This is a database of movies and among the many fields I import is one for the
movie's length, expressed in HH:MM:SS. This comes into the Access DB as a
Date/Time format, which means all the dates, displayed raw in the DB, look like
"12:09:52 AM". Through data formatting, however, displaying it to the client as
HH:MM:SS is no problem. (Display "12:36:00 AM" as military time (00:36:00) tells
me the movie is 0 hrs, 36 minutes, 0 seconds long. Follow?)
But in an update form, which we'll use to correct errors (and there always seem
to be errors in the running times of movies), I can't figure out how to display
it in the HH:MM:SS format in an INPUT field and have it submit without throwing
a data type mismatch error. It seems to want to display as "12:36:00 AM"
Converting the field to a text type is out of the question at this point, so I
know I need to do some type of string manipulation prior to update. However, I'm
lost ...
Any ideas?

I am having users select the time an event occurred by using 3 select menus. 1 for hour, 1 for minute, and 1 for AM/PM. Now I want to combine all three of these values so that I can store them in my Access Database. Currently the values are stored in 3 variables:
notify_hour, notify_minute, notify_am_or_pm
How would I concatenate or combine these variables to create a single time that I can use.

I've got a date/time field in the format "9/2/2007 8:00:00 PM" that I'm pulling from my db as part of a query.
My problem is every once in a while I get a time that is 00:00:00 AM (right at midnight) and then my results display only the date with the time blank because it was all 0's. Is there a way I can force it to show the time even when its midnight?

I am trying to display dates in a spreadsheet, but the dates need to be in a
format that will allow them to be sorted in Excel. The datatype in the SQL
Server database is datetime. In this case, I need to display the date only,
not the time. But I don't want to change the datatype in the database
because the time is used in other places.
So what I am doing is pulling it out of the database, then modifying it in
ASP/VBScript by using the datevalue function. This results in values such as
3/31/2006, 4/3/2006, and 4/14/2006. The problem is, the ones with the
single digit date (4/3/2006 in the sample data I just listed) messes up
Excel's sorting capabilities. How can I force the dates to display in a
2-digit date format? It would probably be good to do the same for the month.

I currently am showing Todays date on the page as follows:
<%=Date()%>
I would like to show it in Day of Week, Month, Date, Year which normally I would
show like this: <%=FormatDateTime(rstemp("StrDate"),1)%> where StrDate is a date/time field name.I want to do something like that with <%=Date()%>. Is there a way to do this?I am also using this to show Tomrrow's date also:
<%=Date() + 1%>
Again, I also want to show the date the same way.

I'm formatting the time that I'm storing. I'm trying to use:
riTimeIn = FormatDateTime(("timein"),3)
The problem is, since i'm using an insert i'm not using any recordset, so the code will not work. It will work like this (riTimeIn = FormatDateTime(rsdata("timein"),3) with the recordset. Do I just create a recordset.? Or is there away to get it to work without it?

I have a question regarding the date format. I am using an Access database as the backend. In Access there are only two formats, short and long.
Is there anyway to display the long date but without the day of week spelt out? In other words, I want January 24, 2006 and NOT Tuesday, January 24, 2006.

Currently working on a ASP for a friend, which requires the date and
time on it. It pulls in entries from an Access Database with dates and

"Fri Oct 17 18:02:46 2003"
However my date and time on the ASP page is displayed as:

using the script:
"<%Session.LCID = 1033%>
<%=FormatDateTime(Date(), vbLongDate)%>
<%Session.LCID = 2057%>
<%=time()%>"

I'm currently entering the date into my date field using the now()
function, which delivers this result: 2/2/2004 9:08:09 AM which is
fine for some cases.
However, when retreiving this result, sometimes I'd just like to pull
up the first part, such as the 2/2/2004 and cut out the rest. How do
I take this date output, and format it to show only what I want? I'm
writing all this in ASP.

I would like to generate a custom date format for my ASP output ... i.e.: "5 Apr 06" instead of the "05 April 2006" that the British English 2057 LCID automatically gives me. In other words, I would like a 3 digit month and two digit year.
The code on my page reads as follows now ...
<%= DoDateTime((Recordset1.Fields.Item("StartDate").Value), 1, 2057) %>

i am having with my classifieds ads site, i am using Access. I little info first: every ad that is posted automatically includes the date it was placed, and on the actual ad page it shows when the user posted the ad and when it will expire.
the script always displays all date formats as so: mm/dd/yy however after using the following code in my asp files: session.lcid = 2057 it formats all prevouis ads like this: dd/mm/yy and that is what i wanted. Now here comes to the problem after inserting the above code every new ad that is posted on the site still shows the mm/dd/yy (us format) and i do not understand why.

Is there a quick way to format a string in this format yyyymmdd in ASP / vbscript? I want this format because I want to pass the formatted date to a SQL Store procedure for a query on searching for date. The type of input could be something like 611974 (aka 6th January 1974) or 2091980 (aka 20th September 1980).

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'. Type Mismatch 'DoDateTime' /admincontacts.asp, line 189
Line 189 is the following:

I am pulling legislation information and expiry dates from an access database and posting to the web. The expiry dates in access are formatted as Month Day, Year (EG.. January 1, 2006) But when they are pulled from the database to the web, they come out as 01/01/06. I know that the format we have in access is simply a mask, however we require that format be carried through.
This is likely a simple solution, however I am new to ASP and can't seem to locate any information on this. I have searched the forum for related info on this but can't find anything that relates to my specific situation.
Here's the code we are using so far...
Code:
<%
Do While NOT Recordset.Eof 'i.e. carry on looping through while there are records
Response.write "<tr><td>"'open row and first cell
Response.write Recordset("Legislation")
Response.write "</td>"'close first cell
Response.write "<td>"'open second cell
Response.write Recordset("Repealed")
Response.write " "
Response.write Recordset("Expiry_Date")
Response.write "</td></tr>" 'close row
Recordset.MoveNext 'move on to the next record
Loop
%>
I have also found and implemented the following code:
Code:
dt=recordset("Expiry_date")
dt=Month(dt)&"/"&day(dt)&"/"&year(dt)
response.write(dt)
This lets me change the positions of the numbers, but I can't figure out how to make it display the full month name and full year.
