I have set a field on my FORM with the General Date format. Every time I use the date picker it inserts the correct date with a time of 00:00? I even changed the format on my table to general date - still no luck.
View RepliesI 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 need to alter filed 24-gen-64, in 24/01/64... how to?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a series of fairly large csv files which I need to consolidate by importing them to a single Access database. There are of the order of 50-60,000 'lines' per csv and about a dozen different files (all comma de-limited and text-qualified with inverted commas).The problem I have is, there are several date fields within the csv which are not formatted to Access' liking. Namely <Mmm_dd_yyyy_hh:ssAM> with underscores used here to represent spaces.
So for example, today's date appears thus :
Feb 6 2013 12:00AM (i.e. two spaces between 'Feb' and '6')
And this day next week would appear thus :
Feb 13 2013 12:00AM (i.e. one space between 'Feb' and '13')
I will obviously need this field recognised as Date/Time so I can query appropriately but I have no control over the source data and need to find a way of converting the format.One option would be to run a script on the csv's themselves prior to importing but I'm not sure how to do that.import this field as Text and then edit the contents after import (VBA?), such that the field can be redesignated with a data type of Date/Time.
I want to be able to display the result of a difference between Date/Time values in "HH.MM" format (i.e. yes I want the result in decimals and I don't want Access to round up or down just because it feels like doing it!). I have used the following:
Example 1:
Dim ActualManHours as Long
ActualManHours = (txtEndTime.Value - txtStartTime.Value) * 86400
txtActualManHours.Value = ActualManHours
Example 2:
Dim ActualManHours as Long
ActualManHours = DateDiff("h",txtStartTime.Value, txtEndTime.Value) & "." & Format(DateDiff("n",txtStartTime.value,txtEndTime. value) Mod 60, "00")
Example 3:
Dim StartTime as Double
Dim EndTime as Double
Dim ActualManHours as Long
StartTime = CDbl(txtStartTime.Value)
EndTime = CDbl(txtEndTime.Value)
ActualManHours = EndTime - StartTime
txtActualManHours.Value = ActualManHours
I want to be able to set text boxes so that if one enters a date and a time it displays in the format "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm", but if one just enters a date is displays in the format "dd/mm/yyyy". Is this possible?
Stipulating "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" means that when you just enter a date it adds "0" values for the time e.g. entering "21/6/13" gives "21/06/2013 00:00".
General Date allows for an optional time, but it means that when you do enter a time it gives you seconds as well "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" - and I don't want that.
Hi all,
i've a field that contains the systemdate n time
i.e
txtDate.value = Now
will give me this 11/30/1899 9:46:00 AM.
How do i get rid of the second hands??
i want 11/30/1899 9:46 AM instead.
Thank you
I wish to insert in a table, not the date, but just the month and year (yy/mm or mm/yy), for example 05/10 or 10/05 for October 2005 (the order of yy and mm does not matter). In addition, I need to be able to sort the records chronologically using the same field.
I have tried various solutions with the date/time field or the number field (e.g. using yy.mm where the mm are the decimals). However, it does not seem to work correctly. Any suggestions for how I can do this by configuring the format, inputs mask and validation rule?

Hi
I'm very new to Access, so please be gentle;)
I have imported a appointment database that I need to analyse, however the Date & Time data within the table has been written as;
Date: 20051220 - which I would like to read dd/mm/yyyy (20/12/2005)
Time: 800 - which I would like to read as hh:mm (08:00)
I would like to produce a report of all the queries, i.e. longest appointment, shortest etc... but display them in the correct Date/Time format.
So how should I go about this?
I cannot alter the imported table in anyway.
1. Can I produce a mirror like table of the existing table, that automatically use the correct Date/Time format?
2. Can I alter the values within a query?
3. Can I alter the final output in the Report?
What is the best way to tackle this?
Hey guys, been away from Access and SQL for some time. I have a simple 2 column table with one thats set to Date/Time that displays the date only. Unfortunaly, when I run my query, the date comes out 7/9/2005 and I want it to come out as 7/09/2005. I know I am going to have to force it out with a format command, but its been so long that I have no idea how to. Right now my query, in SQL format, looks like this.
SELECT * FROM Table1 ORDER BY Date DESC
I just need the format command to force the date. If anyone can help, thx.
Hi,
I need to calculate the number of days between two days however the format on which i have my date includes the time in the same field -
2007-02-20 07:15:30.474
When I calculate one date minus an other the result is #error
I require the result to be in a count format e.g 2.3 days (like in excel)
Is there anyway to get around this without splitting the date and time?
Please help!:)

Have a text field in a form with following relevant properties:
Format tab - Format: Short Time
Data tab - Inputmask: 00:00;0;_
Data tab - Default value: =Time()
Goal: show a default but editable current time in HH:MM format
Behaviour: When entering form current time is displayed in HH:MM - problem is that when I enter field with the curser it automatically changes format to HH:MM:SS.
How can I avoid/control that behavior?
Hi all,
I have an inherited database with years worth of julian dates stored as numbers (e.g. days 1-366 for a leap year). I also have some fields stored as short dates. I would like to run a series of parameterized queries on this data, some using the short data and some using the "julian dates" that are actually just numbers. I have the user enter the start and end date in short date format and would like that to be converted and held in an unbound field as a number value. So far I can get the date to appear as a "julian date" (e.g. 1/1/08 appears as 1, obviously the underlying data is still 1/1/08) How do I take that 1 and convert it to number value "1"? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Peter
I am working on a report in Access2000 which is getting information from several tables via a number of queries.
I am using nested IIf() functions to combine text formatted data in a calculated query field before using it in a report.
One such IIf() function is
Desc_col: IIf([HOVR - UDP].[SERVICE] Is Not Null,[DA] & " " & [SEQ] & " " & [TYPE] & [MO] & " " & [SUB] & " - " & [HOVR - UDP].[SERVICE],
IIf([MinOfCCT] Is Not Null,"I/O DIST CAB " & [UDP - JC CIRCUITS-05-F].[PWR] & " - CCTS " & [MinOfCCT] & " thru " & [MaxOfCCT],IIf([DESCRIPTIO] Is Not Null,[DESCRIPTIO],"Spare")))
When I have tried to do the same thing with date fields it does not work. The function is fine as long as it is not nested.
That is
Rev_col: IIf([Rev_HOVR] Is Not Null,[Rev_HOVR],"")
and
Rev_col: IIf([Rev_Elec_equip] Is Not Null,[Rev_Elec_equip],"")
both work.
But when I combine them into a nested function
Rev_col: IIf([Rev_HOVR] Is Not Null,[Rev_HOVR],IIf([Rev_Elec_equip] Is Not Null,[Rev_Elec_equip],""))
I get an error message "! Data type mismatch in criterial expression"
There is no data mismatch in the original tables from which the information was extracted. The dates are all in DATE/TIME and set to "General"format in the tables.
I am wondering if I will have to use Visual Basic function to combine these fields. However that poses a problem. When I've looked at this I find that runtime VB is no longer available in Access and I do not want to go out and buy it on the offchance that it will work.
Can anyone tell me if there is another solution to my problem?
I am having difficulties changing a date/time field like '22/04/2013 09:14' to make it look like '2013-04-22 09:14' using a query.

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.

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?

Using MS Access 2010 I'm attempting to put together a simple database mainly tracking dates and availability. That said I'm just not smart enough to figure out why I cant get one date in a form to display as a serial date.
Example date picker included in Access 2010 places the date of 3/20/2013 in one field and I want another field to look at that and show the serial date ie.. 20130320190912. I've achieved this in Excel somehow long ago.
