Does anyone know of a function that will change the date format from yyyymmdd to mmddyyyy? I have a linked table to a data repository, I'm using a date field in a query and would like to use the dateadd function to return a certain date range from 7 days prior. I can't get it to run, I thought this might be due to the date format.
here is what i have in the date field as the criteria: <DateAdd("d",-7,Now())
the date field is formated to yyyymmdd
Any suggestions?
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.

Percentage: Format(CountOfRegular Booking/DCount("*","tblBooking"),"Percent")I get an error: 'Undefined function 'Format'' - how can I fix this? The above expression is supposed to convert values into percentages. I copied the expression from someone's sample database (to help me) and I just changed the appropriate parts around, but I get that error. I put a space between 'Regular Booking' because that's how it is presented as my field name, but I also put them together as one word to see if that would solve matters, but no luck. The sample database works fine, however.Sample query expression:Percentage: Format(CountOfbooleanFieldName/DCount("*","TableName"),"Percent")Thanks guys. :D

We have a date function that converts a text date format. Can someone help me with time function to do the same thing? We want military time. The field is like this now: txt fields. 160037 213137 224356 235716 235800 12341 21708 22732 Here is the date function we use: Function f2Date(strDateOld As String) Dim strDate As String, strMonth As String, strYear As String strMonth = Mid(strDateOld, 5, 2) strDate = Right(strDateOld, 2) strYear = Left(strDateOld, 4) f2Date = strMonth & "-" & strDate & "-" & strYear f2Date = CDate(f2Date) f2Date = Format(f2Date, "mmmm d yyyy") End Function
I need a little help. In my DB, I have a command button set up (I was tired of typing in dates) for date, but I used the Now function, which also gives me the time.
Now I have over 3000 subrecords of the main ones. I now need to queries transaction for that specific date, but it also retrieves the time.
I tried to go back and change the NOW to DATE in VB, but the code does not run.
How do I change all records that have date and time (using NOW function) and only click that command button to show only the date (mm/dd/yyyy)?
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?
I upgraded to Access-2010 and the Text File Import function will not recognize dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD. The import dialogue sees enough to recognize the field as a date, but then every date encountered is written to the Import-Errors table. This is true whether the file has a .txt or .csv extension. The actual file format is .csv.
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
