Not sure if this is a Tables or Forms problem, so please excuse me.
I am creating a database where users will be entering Survey data. The Survey dates are in the format: Month-Year (February 2005, December 2004) etc....
I would like to capture the dates in that format, but retain the functionality that comes with Date type fields. For example to query a date range.
How and where do I specify the Date Format I desire?
I am stumped: After importing from an outside source (an excel spreadsheet) I have to change the short-date format
that I have just imported into a very specific custom format: "yyyymmdd" Ex: 20040828. How do I convert into this
new format? Help will be greatly appreciated...
Hi, I would like to create a Custom input mask in access 2000 with the format dd/mm/yy can someone please help me?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm building a report that requires me to concatenate several fields plus additional words, etc. But not all of the fields are the same data type. I have the date formatted the way I want it in a date/time field in one table (dd mmmm yyyy), and I want to append that date into a text field in another table, maintaining the same format.
Now, when I do a normal append or update query, it appends as medium date format (dd-mmm-yy). If I change the field type in the original table from date/time to text, it also shows up in medium date format.
Any ideas on how to make this work, or other options for concatenating fields with different data types?
edit: I don't want to change the data type of the original field to text.
I need help with custom text formating. Everything I read says that @ is "Required text character" and & is "Text character not required", but nothing gives an example of &. Could someone give me examples of the difference between @ and & ?
Thanks,

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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?

I am thinking validation field to put a msg but want to be able to force it not the option.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
On my report, I want rows with expired dates to stand out by having their borders thicker. Something like:
Code:
If Me.txtDate < Date() Then
Me.txtDate.BorderWidth = 6
End If
When I do that, it ends up formatting every txtDate field in the report if one of them passes the If criteria instead of only ones that are expired.
How do you grab a custom Fiscal Year's values based on the system clock's date?
I am building a query where I want to see the number of closed cases based on the current custom fiscal year with the system clocks date. The report that it feeds only cares about the current FY.
I need the System Clock's FY value in this query
Code:
SELECT shortname AS Station, NZ(TotalCount.TotalCases,0) AS [Cases Complete]
FROM StationList LEFT JOIN (SELECT station, count([Open Issues].ID) AS TotalCases FROM [Open Issues] WHERE [Status]="Closed" GROUP BY Station) AS TotalCount ON StationList.shortname =TotalCount.station;
Within the Query Open Issues I have the FY broken up
Code:
fiscalYear: IIf(Month([Issues].[Opened Date])>=10,"FY" & Year(DateAdd("yyyy",1,[Issues].[Opened Date])),"FY" & Year([Issues].[Opened Date]))
The date format from one of my access tables is as follows:
11051977
9101978
and I need to amend to following formats within my select query:
11/05/1977
09/10/1978
I have tried using formula:
Date of Birth: DateValue(Mid([DOB],7,2) & "/" & Mid([DOB],5,2) & "/" & Mid([DOB],1,4))
that results in an #Error messages
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Can anyone help with how to merge the date as Saturday 24 February 2007?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
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.
How can this happen? And what is the solution?
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.

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?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUsing 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
Thank you!

Hi, I want to make a default value for the date when a record is inserted. I don't want to use Now() or Date(), I want to use one that only displays the month eg: "June" and that is all. Any ideas? Many thanks.
