I have a link table that has a field that represents dates - but they are actually just text. It's a long story but the source is not going to change - so I have to try and deal with it. I need it to behave as a date - and am hoping to do this in a query. The data looks like this:
7/24/12 10/08/13
I have tried various things but it does not seem to totally do the trick - if I sort on it it still does not sort as one would expect from an actual date field. How do I do this?
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 am new in MS Access programming and is trying to create a search form for all records based on selected dates and check box. I was able to filter the records by dates but can't find ways to filter the records that meet the dates to be filtered again based on the selected check box/s. Basically what I wanted to is display all the records within the selected dates and check box/s.
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.
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.
How best to go about designing a new table that shows any records matching a specific user name field from a parent table (without changing any records in the parent table).
For example: Any record in the column "user name" matching "Craig" in the parent table should be displayed in the new table.
I also would like for the new table to update automatically anytime a new record meeting the user name criteria ("Craig" for example) is added to the parent table.
I 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 have a button on a form that creates an email and inserts fields from my database. I have a field that is set to Long Date format type, but when it populates the email, it shows as a Short Date format type. Is there anyway to retain the Long Date format?
Well I have been searching but have not exactly found the answer I need so:
I have a linked table in my database. One of the fields on the source table is a date field but the data type is Text. So there is data in the field that represents dates but they are formatted as text like this: 090506 101106 120506
I need the field data to behave as a date, any ideas? I can't change the source data type.
Then...at some point I want to produce a query that shows all records with a date earlier than the current days date...in pointers in the right direction on that will be appreciated also.
Hi, I'm using a web based form to store dates (and other records) in an access database. I use the dd/mm/yyyy date format (europe. go figure) Anyway, the problem is that when submitting an ambiguous date, as in 11/01/2004, access sees it as 01-NOV-2004 rather then 11-JAN-2004, as it should.
Why does this happen, and how can I fix it. I have no problem doing the fixing in the access file itself or in the SQL command that populates it- whatever works best.
The following code is supposed to insert a date formatted as dd/mm/yyyy into a table, when i view the mySQL string in the debug window it shows the correct format, however when i open the table it displays the date as mm/dd/yyyy.
The table's date field userdate is formatted as a short date field with an input mask of dd/mm/yyyy.
My computers date settings are set up as dd/mm/yyyy as well
Any ideas on hows to correct this?
Thanks in advance. :)
Public Function Test()
Dim mySQL As String Dim dtDate As Date Dim db As Database Dim qdf As QueryDef

Debug.Print mySQL
'*The debugger shows* INSERT INTO tblCurrentUser( userdate ) values (#04/05/2005#);
' However the value in my table tblCurrentUser is05/04/2005 is in mm/dd/yyyy format

I have a form that shows the data.All the date format display this kind of format " 12/17/1974".But when I export it to excel format.The date is displayed as "17-Dec-74".However, when i double click on the cell ,it will show "12/17/1974"...I want the date to displayed in excel -> "17-Dec-1974" or "dd-mmm-yyyy" how can i change the date format when manually formatting the date in excel .
I have set the Left([DSERDBA_RECEIPTS].[RCTH_RECEIPT_NO],8) AS [DISTRIBUTION DT] field property to Short Date, 99/99/0000;0;_ . When I run the query I get that field formated as a short date, but when I try to create a table from the same query the data returned is no longer in the date format. Is there something I can do to have the make table results look like what I get when I just run the query without creating a table?
SELECT DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_ID_CASE AS [CASE], DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_DT_RECEIPT AS [DT RCTH], Left([DSERDBA_RECEIPTS].[RCTH_RECEIPT_NO],8) AS [DISTRIBUTION DT], DSERDBA_DISBURSEMENTS.DSB_DT_DISBURSE INTO [TABLE 1]
FROM [UNIVERSE OF CASES] INNER JOIN (DSERDBA_RECEIPTS INNER JOIN DSERDBA_DISBURSEMENTS ON DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_RECEIPT_NO = DSERDBA_DISBURSEMENTS.DSB_RECEIPT_NO) ON [UNIVERSE OF CASES].STAT_CASE_ID = DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_ID_CASE
WHERE (((DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_ID_CASE)="20028570P"));
FDL00.... should be generated automatically, starting with 101 for 1st container and 201 for 2nd and so forth. The output should be in vertical manner.
I have a problem converting text to a real date value so I can do some calculations. I have a query that brings in data from an external data source. It appears the data is stored in the external table in text format and looks like this:
20050902 15:40:41
I have tried CDate to convert the text to a date/time format, but no luck. Any ideas?
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 'm downloading the excel data from the site and connecting it to access.
In excel the particular column (Time Taken) is in the format of "00:12:26".
After connecting it to access and appending it to the table, the format changed to "12:12:26", the first two digits changed to "12" and the remaining are as it is how it looks like in the excel. I need to change it to format what it looks like in the excel.
I have a simple and small database having only one table. I want the data table to be exported in a spreadsheet format automatically at the end of the month. Is there any code or function to do that?
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?
