I have an access database which has a date field. I've entered all of the dates in valid UK format (dd/mm/yyyy). An example of the table looks like this:
I am getting more and more infuriated with dates and access. I thought I had it all working, and now I get to 01/01/2008 and it all falls apart. Anyway,
I have a lump of ASP that finds various dates and queries them against an Access DB. I have used response.write to see what is being sent to the database, and they are in UK format DD/MM/YYYY as they should be. The field in my DB stores the dates as DD/MM/YYYY. Now for the bit that is driving me mad.
Somewhere in access, US format is being used. For instance, I have a date value that finds tomorrows date. In this case its 02/01/2008 for the 2nd of January 2008. When I enter the SQL in access though, no data is brought back. If I query on date equalling 01/02/2008 then data is brought back!
So, my program is outputting UK format, the dates are stored in UK format, my regional settings and everything else on my computer are UK format. Access is trying to find US format though-why?
I am having a problem with the date function in access 2010. The default format is Date/Time "General" but the sample on the right side just shows a number (17). The field goes blank on any date I enter. I have to manually format the date field with mm/dd/yy to show the dates in the date field. I don't always have to manually format the date. The long and medium dates are the only two from the drop down list that show dates properly.
Here's a little problem that is driving me nuts. I know what is wrong and yet I can't fix it!
I have an Access D/B and a mail merge word doc which gets its data from a table in the database. Now the date is in the correct format in the table i.e. uk/european format. The 5 of january 2005 would be 05/01/2005.
However when this gets into the word doc it changes to USA format i.e. 01/05/2005.
I've written a vba macro that takes data from Excel, processes it into an XML file & then imports into Access.All fields were fine apart from the date field, which appeared in the Access table as "00:00:00"...The date in the XML was appearing as 01/01/2014.
Hello , I have a date format problem , I have an access database which when run by a macro, gives me a date format of 05-AUg-05( data type is text)and the same applies when it 's exported toexcel , it appears as 05-Aug-05. But , when exported to excel i need it in the format 05/08/05. What should i do for this ?
I think the problem is ,When I run a macro i think the date field is automatically assigned to text , what should i do so tht when it runs a macro it should be in date/time type ?
I'm using Access 2003 connecting through ODBC. I'm trying to set up an automated query to grab today's data. normally it's pretty easy, all you'd have to do is enter date() in the criteria in an access query. Unfortunately, the date in my database (i can't change this) is in an odd format.
example: april 1st, 2013 = 1130401
Every single date always has that preceding "1" in front of it, then the year, then the month, and finally the day.
I want to always specify the current date whenever the query is run (without having to type it in)
I am importing data that has been put onto Notepad into an Access table - this works fine except the date in notepad comes across as a date and a time. When I put the table into a query and ask for the date to be Between [Specify date 1] and [Specify date 2] - does the user have to then put 7/02/2005 00:00:00 AM and xxx. I have tried this but it doesn't return all values. I have also tried just the dates but this doesn't return all values either - any ideas?
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.
Using access 2010; i have a form that includes a date field. Is there a way to force the user to only choose a month end date? When the user clicks the date from the popup, they may use 9/1/2013 when the mgr. want them to use only 8/31/2013. I am thinking validation field to put a msg but want to be able to force it not the option.
I have a date and time stamp in a Date/Time field of General Date format (3/1/2006 7:52:25 AM).
I wish to select query on the table's Date/Time field by date portion only (3/1/2006) and not include the time portion (7:52:25 AM) of the field.
Using this expression in the query's criteria - "Between [Enter Start Date: (MM/DD/YY Format)] And [End Date: (MM/DD/YY]" will not return the date ranges as desired without also typing in the full time string.
How can the date integer be parsed out and the query properly expression ed on the criteria field without using VB?
Can someone help format the date correctly? I'm currently linking a flat file in access and then creating a table afterwards. The date comes in the following format below:
i.e. 30102006 - txt type
I wanted the date to look like - mm/dd/yy. Thanks for the help.
I have a date field in my table and my computer date is set as a custom long date, if I enter 24/2/07 in my date field when I press enter and move to the next field it is displayed as Saturday 24 February 2007 but when I select the date field again it reverts back to 24/2/07. I include the date field in a merge with a word document and would like the date displayed as Saturday 24 February 2007, but the merge is displayed as 24/2/07. Can anyone help with how to merge the date as Saturday 24 February 2007?
I have two pc's, both with Windows XP SP2 and Office 2003 SP2 (dutch) and the same input locales. I made a program in Access (connected to a MS SQL Server) where dates are stored. Now I want to built a report with a daterange. Because of the dateformat in SQL I made a function to convert the date because they enter it in Dutch format. The function is:
Function DatumSQL(datDatum As Date) As String DatumSQL = "#" & Format(datDatum, "mm") & "-" & Format(datDatum, "dd") & "-" & Format(datDatum, "yyyy") & "#" End Function
This works great on computer 1. But not on computer 2. On the second computer the date is converted again. When I don't use the function it works fine on computer 2 but not anymore on computer 1. I searched for differences and found that on computer 1 the files in the map C:Program FilesCommon filesSystemado are from 3-8-2004 and on computer 2 they are from 2-3-2006.
I have a date field with a format of 'Short - dd/mm/yyyy'. All of the data stored in that field is in that format.
I have a listbox that displays all those dates. I select a date, then click on a button to filter the form by the date selected. Here is my code that fires on the cmd_Click event:
Forms!frmPondSampling.Filter = "RPID = " & Me.cboPondID & " AND Date = #" & Me.lstDate & "#"
Forms!frmPondSampling.FilterOn = True
This works for dates where the dd is more than 12, but it wo't work when the dd is less than 12. I'm assuming it is getting the dd and mm mixed up, but all my data is correct and matches the field type.
I am trying to find a date format and superised that MS doean't offer this feature. The format I am trying to set setup is this: 01/01/2006. Right now, all I can do is to set it up by the befault setting of 1/1/2006 and is not what I am looking for. Is there a way that this format can be modified?
I am trying to run a query that someone already established/saved. It asks for beginning date and end date. I have tried a few different formats but I cannot get the query to run. I have tried the date as 1998,01,01 for beginning and 2006,03,14 for end. i have tried also 01-01-98 and 01-01-1998 etc. I keep getting the same error that the date is too complex or something. Can anyone help me?
Using MS Access I have the following SQL for a selection query:
SELECT qryOfferteAfdruk.pkOfferte, qryOfferteAfdruk.Nummer, qryOfferteAfdruk.Datum, qryOfferteAfdruk.Bedrijfsnaam FROM qryOfferteAfdruk WHERE [qryOfferteAfdruk.Datum] Between #08-01-2008# And #12-01-2008# ORDER BY qryOfferteAfdruk.pkOfferte DESC
The problem is that the 'between' dates should have dd-mm-yyyy format, but once the query is executed the format is mm-dd-yyyy. I do not understand why, because in the control panel of Windows I selected dd-mm-yyyy and in MS Access I selected the standard date format, being dd-mm-yyyy.:confused:
Hello, This is problably a very simple question; however, I can't find the way to do it.
I have a field in a form that its default value is today's date: Default value: Date().
As you know, it always appears as dd/mm/yyyy. Is there a way to change it and instead to appear as mm/dd/yyyy ? I am sending this field to some reports and an error is appearing as in the database dates are stored as mm/dd/yyyy
They are coming up with a mmddyyyy format. I'd like to only show the dd part. Is there a way to do this in the report, or do I need to go back into my SQL query to do it?...
