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'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 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.
I have a date/time variable type in a sql 2000 database.

I have a datetime field that looks like 7/24/2004 8:45:00 AM
I just want to display 8:45 AM

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 .
View Replies View RelatedI'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'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?

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
times in the format of:
"Fri Oct 17 18:02:46 2003"
However my date and time on the ASP page is displayed as:
"Friday, October 17, 2003 18:02:46"
using the script:
"<%Session.LCID = 1033%>
<%=FormatDateTime(Date(), vbLongDate)%>
<%Session.LCID = 2057%>
<%=time()%>"
Anyone know how to change this script, fully or partly to produce the
date and time on the format that's in the access database i.e. "Fri Oct 17
18:02:46 2003" Code:

View Replies View RelatedWhen the Form is submitted I use the Date() and Time() functions to put the date and time into the Body part of the e-mail. The time reported is three hours earlier than the time at which the Form is actually submitted.
I understand these functions are evaluated on the server so the server must be in a time zone three hours earlier than where I am . Is there any way I can get the local time at the location where the user is actually located. ?
Any some tools or sample codes drop down asp script execute time and

I'm trying to do a very simple code that converts the server time into a time zone of your choice.
<%
dim h 'Current Hour
dim i ' Time Zone Increase - add or subtract hours
dim r 'Result Here
h = Hour(Now)
i = + 2
r = h + i

but obvisouly i'm having trouble with the time zone convert.
I am trying to compare the NOW time with a "deadline" time. Please help. Just not sure why this is not working. I need to be able to say IF IT'S BEFORE 9:30 TODAY, IT'S OKAY TO ADD SOMETHING. IF IT'S AFTER 9:30 TODAY, YOU MUST ADD IT TOMORROW.
CODE:
nowtime=now()
deadlinetime=formatdatetime(now(),2) + " 8:30:00 AM"
response.write "NOW: " & nowtime & "<BR>"
response.write "Deadline: " & deadlinetime & "<BR>"
if nowtime<deadlinetime then response.write "can send out today" end if
if nowtime>deadlinetime then response.write "must send out tomorrow" end
if
RESULTS:
NOW: 1/18/2007 8:51:43 AM
Deadline: 1/18/2007 8:30:00 AM
can send out today
As you can see, NOW is GREATER THAN Deadline, so it should must send out tomorrow.

I’m having an issue saving/reading an xml file.The source of this file is a the parameter of an object. Through the UI the user can change the value (xml string) of this parameter.
The problem is that the parameter needs the xml with > , < , and " instead of the > , < , " chars. However when I save it, the xml dom and even the fso save it with the actual xml chars. Other than a literal search, is there an easy way to convert the file to have the special chars?

I have users typing in information into a text box. Sometimes this information can be lengthy and contain simple formatting such as spacess between lines and line numbering. For example:
1. List item number one
2. List item number two
I then have a report page that prints out this information. Unfortunately, the line spacing doesn't show up in the report. It's just all jumbled together. I'm just using <%= Notes %> to show the db field. Is there a way that I can show the formatting that was originally entered or do I need to use some kind of word processor like I am using to type this post?

When e-mailing invoices and estimates, is there any way to customize the
presentation of the e-mail beyond changing the message? Specifically,
I'd like to add some html so the receiver can click on a link to pay
online. As it is, I can type the URL in the message, but it appears only
as text to the reader, not a hotlink, which, unfortunately, is quite
vexing to some of my clients.
It would also be nice to add a company logo, etc. to the email body.
On this same subject, is it possible to send the entire invoice/estimate
as HTML rather than an attached PDF? I haven't seen these options
anywhere.
I'm currently doing some work with ASP and XML DOM.
Is there any way when saving XML to get ASP to save it in a formatted way? Similar to PHP's formatOutput setting? At the moment my xml is being appended on line e.g

Is there a setting to get ASP to save XML like:
<test>1</test>
<test>2</test>
