After having to take on the work of someone else and finding that the dates were stored as text in the format yy.mm.dd I would like to change it so it is dd/mm/yyyy and stored as a Date.
I was thinking about using an update query rather than go through 10000 odd records!
Any ideas?
how do i do this? i found an old thread concerning this but it must not apply either to vista or to the most recent version of office.
View 14 Replies View RelatedThis may be simple but I'm having a real issue with it. I've used
Format([Input Table]!Birth_Date,"yyyy") & Format(Format([Input Table]!Birth_Date,"y"),"000")
to go from a date to a julian but now I need to go from a 4 digit julian date to a mm/dd/yyyy.
For example ... Today is julian date 5356 "year 2005 and 356 days into the year" and I need to change this back to 12/22/2005.
How do you do this :confused: I would rather do it within the query than do any code.

I have a huge problem!!!! Access seems to be picking up settings from somewhere which means that the Short date = mm/dd/yyyy and not dd/mm/yyy as set in the regional Settings!
Does anyone have any ideas why?!?!

I have created a table called - "Test"
The properties of the table is listed below
Table Name: Test
Field Name: ADMDAT2 (Text)
DISDAT2 (Text)
Operation Date (Date/Time)
I have written a query to populate a field where the Operation Date is between the ADMDAT2 and DISDAT2
Expr1: IIf([ADMDAT2] Is Null,"",IIf([Operation Date]>=[ADMDAT2] And [Operation Date]<=[DISDAT2],"Match"))
Unfornately it returns and ERROR message... I believe this may be because, the data type of the field, matching a Text with a Date/Time, I have rerun the query using a sample table where all the fields are Date/Time, and it work perfectly.
What i need help with how do i convert a text field into a Date/Time in a query?
So i can place that in the query before i populate the Test table. therefore it all should be date/time
thanks in advance
I am attempting to create an expression that will change the font to red if it is an overdue date. It will be on a form with the records showing.
My datebase is for entering, changing, and searching for information dealing with orientation dates, contacts, and associations. My data sheet holds the company name, employee name, date of orientation, due date (orientations are completed annually), contact employee, and status. I would like the date, when opening the form, to show red if it is past due. how to create an expresion to return the status as "Current" or "Overdue", as I am still unsure which method I want to use.
hey
i want to use the format mm/yyyy in my date field.
how i can do this ?

Hi, I am a longtime Excel user, and am now migrating some work to Access.
I have 2 fields dealing with dates in the format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm, OPEN and CLOSE
I'd like to get the difference between the two in hours, but I have no idea how or where to do this in Access. I'm assuming it is put into the queries, but it would be easier if I could just put it in the table.
Here is an example
1/1/2008 1:00 1/2/2008 2:00
I want the result to be "25"
Thanks in advance!
My table has many records for each month. I am creating a report that will display only the records in one month of a year. I have been able to create a form that gives the user the choice of the Month and Year for which to create the report. The code I am using to create the combo box is:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT Month([QTDate]) AS MoNum, Format([QTDate],"mmmm yyyy") AS MoName
FROM MainTBL
ORDER BY Month([QTDate]);
What I need to do now is create the query for the report that displays all records for the chosen month and year. If I simply reference the combo box, all it shows is mmmm yyyy and the days are missing so the query doesn't work. What do I need to do to create the query so it displays all days within the month and date selected?
Hi,
I have an option group on my form. In my query it uses numbers like 1, 2, 3 and so on.
Is there a way in the query to show say Done where 1 and Not Done where 2 and so on.
On my reports I use the following
=IIf([Status]=1,"Not Satisfied",IIf([Status]=2,"Partially Satisfied",IIf([Status]=3,"Satisfied",IIf([Status]=4,"Waived",IIf([Status]=5,"Client",IIf([Status]=6,"Attorney Consult",IIf([Status]=7,"Attorney Approval")))))))
I am exporting the data to EXCEL and the numbers mean nothing to the end user they want to see what it represents.
Thanks.

Is it possible to actually change a number to text? I cant seem to figure out how. I have 2 proprietary systems one uses a number and one uses text for the same item. I know how to change the text to a number however the more efficient way for me to do this is the other way around. Its the differnce from 300 to 400 record change vs 4M. Any help would be great thx.

I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.

I have a report card program that I use in my classroom. The program calculates letter grades for various sub categories.
For example, under the Primary Category Math, the computer will calculate a letter grade based on assignment scores and place the grade into a combo box for the sub category "Able to use a graphing calculator."
If I override the grade the program calculated for a student, I would like the text in the combo box to change to red for that student only. Then I can go back and quickly see which grades I have manually changed.
I just cannot seem to figure out the logic to use VBA that would check to see if a user has changed individual combo boxes.
Thanks ahead of time for any ideas.

I need to change the background colour of a text box after a change to the field has been made?
ie.
Make: IBM (Background Color Grey - Default)
User makes a change to Make ..
Make: Toshiba - (Background Color changes to Yellow )

I was using Application.SetOption"Background", colour value with no success
I came into a database where the forms have checkboxes connected to table fields that are in text data type. I see that when the checkbox is checked, the value in the field is still -1 in the table. Is there a reason to change these fields to Yes/No data type or just keep them as they are? Are there limitations or problems to having Yes/No values (-1) in a text field?

Any VB code can be used. Thanks.
Hope to heard from you soon.
