General :: Formatting Text To Date Not Working As Expected

Sep 17, 2014

I am trying to get a text string from a table to convert to the proper date format in access 2003.

The text string is formatted as 140930 for Sep 30th, 2014 for example.

I have tried using the formula following formula: Format([PCCSDTA_DCSDIU]![DTEAVL],"mm/dd/yyyy") but this format returns the date 11/06/2285 instead of the desired 09/30/2014.

I am still relatively new to Access.

Referential Integrity: Cascade Update Not Working As Expected???

Nov 2, 2006

Hi,
I have a database with a couple of tables. The primary table has a primary key called "StaffNo". I checked the relationships between the primary table and each related table, if I have ticked on the boxes for referential integrity, cascade updates. All done. If I now create a query, which selects the primary table and one related table and enter a new StaffNo, I would expect to see the new StaffNo not only in the primary table but also in the related one. But there is nothing. Do I expect wrong? Have I missed sth.? I read a few posts in this and other forums reg. referential integrity, but I have no clue, what's wrong. :confused:
Any quick help is much appreciated.
Thanks :)

Date Formatting (General Date To Short Date)

Aug 5, 2005

I am creating an online post, similar to a guestbook. When a user submits an entry, I am storing the date and time in a column titled "Timestamp", which is formatted 8/4/2005 9:16:58 ("General Date"). I am running the table through a query which is then posted on the web.

What I would like to do is this: I would like to use Timestamp to display the date that the entry was submitted, but not the time (basically, "Short Date"). Can I exclude the time using a query without changing the actual data stored in each record of the table? I understand that the time stored is completely different than the time displayed, even in the table. How can I do this?

Aug 10, 2015

In column D I have a date (different on each row) and in Column E I have another date (again different dates on different rows)

I need Column D conditional formatted to that

If the date in column D is less than Column E then it turns red.

I tried doing one row and it was giving erroneous formatting

Need a lot of rows done.

General :: Conditional Formatting - Change Backcolor Of Process If Status Field Contains Certain Text

Jan 8, 2014

I have a subform with two fields [status] and [process], i am trying to get the backcolor of procces to change to red if the status field contains the text "expired".

I have tried vba. plced on the after update

if me.status = "expired" then
me.process.backcolor = vbred
else me.process backcolor = vbwhite
end if
this

Changes the color of the field [process] but also all process field colors to red even if the status field does not contain "expired".

I think conditional formatting is the way to go but i think i need an expression to complete this.

General :: How To Have A Combo Box That Shows Date And Text

Aug 22, 2012

Is it possible to have a combo box that shows date and text? I would like to have a combo box with dates that also allows the user to choose the word "unassigned." the reason for this is because sometimes we don't know dates due until a future time and that is specifically what my boss wants. They don't want the field empty either.

General :: Convert Text String To Date Format

Apr 10, 2013

I am connecting acces to oracle servers via ODBC .

In the table there is a date time stamp - format data type text:

20130225060621

I would like to convert so that it is recognised as a date so I can calculate against e.g. Now() or another standard date format.

this is what I am currently using (which is OK) BUT I need to calculate against the time also.

Current Check Point Date: CDate(Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],7,2) & "/" & Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],5,2) & "/" & Mid([DZ_ZPKT_AK],1,4))

I spoke to an IT guy who works in TOAD program and he gave me this SQL:

select to_date(dz_zpkt_ak,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')from orders where ordnr='4411310';

this is the format I would like but cant make this work.

Reports :: Report Won't Sort By Date When Query Contains Date Formatting

Jun 21, 2013

A few months ago I created a report that displays the results of a long union query comprising a dozen or so individual queries, each containing an expression that yields a date (or sometimes date and time). I set the report to group by query and then sort by the date expression. Now for some reason that I can't fathom the report has always only ever offered me the option to sort the date "A to Z", I infer it thinks the date is text, but this misunderstanding has never actually stopped it sorting by date perfectly well. It worked. No problems.

However I have recently added formatting to some of the queries so that they just display date, not date and time e.g. Format([dateandtime],"dd/mm/yyyy"), and now the sort by date in the report no longer works. None of the sorting or grouping options have changed, but it now sorts just by the "dd" component of the date - so it thinks 21st June is later than 20th July. why?

General :: Text Box On Form - How To Make Textbox Date Default To Previous Record

Nov 13, 2013

I'm having trouble with a Form and getting a text box entry box (Date entry) default to the date entered on the last record, which is linked to a table.

The only way I can get it to work is to type the date into the Text Box's Default property, for example, #11/13/13".

How to get the correct syntax or code into the Default property of the Text Box to make this work? I only want the entry to change versus the previous record/entry if the User changes / enters a new date.

Formatting Memo Text

Mar 31, 2006

I have a database with a few large memo fields, used for storing methods for carrying out equipment tests. As I eventually want to output the methods in the form of reports, I want to be able to format selected text within each memo field (e.g. make the title bold, underline bits here and there, etc.) so that when output as a report, it looks like a nicely formatted document.

Does anyone know of an Access control that is basically a text entry box, but with formatting tools (maybe a row of buttons along the top?) associated with it that allow formatting of selected text only?

Incidentally, I have already tried linking Word documents as OLE objects, but this sems to require locating and selecting a Word file for each newly created record - something I don't want to do as this database will be used by people with few computer skills. I suppose I really want to be able to store an RTF file within the database.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Formatting Text For Report

May 10, 2005

I have a need to take two fields and make them appear as one with the first one bold and the second one nonbold.

The text needs to look like:

FOOD tomato
HOUSING STYLE log cabin
FISH cod
COLLEGE DEGREE BA - Biology

These are all from the same table, two fields (type, value)

To have a report look like this I figure I need to know the width of the first field and then position the second field near that position.

Any ideas.

Thanks

Date Formatting

Jun 18, 2007

Can anyone help me please!!! I receive a csv file in which I need to import it into a table. It contains a date feild which looks like this '2007-06-15 12:17:54.953000000' and I would like it to look like this 'ddmmyyyy 00:00:00'. I have tried importing the data then changing the imported field to date and time format but it deletes it, and I have also tried to format it into a query using Format() but this is unsuccessful also. I have a work around which is to change the CSV file into excel, format it how I want it and then import, but ideally I would like it to skip that part.

Any Suggestions welcome:D

I know how to change a date format in a query. E.G., "StartDate" is entered as mm/dd/yyyy, but when I run the query, I change the format to mmmm dd, yyyy in the format line of the properties.

Formatting Text For Access Reports AND Web Pages

Nov 21, 2007

These days more and more of my databases are wanting to be accessed via the web as well as from MS Acess. I guess this is the norm these days but in most of our (office) dbs it's just 'web for web's sake' and there is no real need to access it outside of Ms Access.

Bu hey that's what they want...

Problem with one such db is that a lot of the fields are memo fields and hold a LOT of text and they want to create MS Access reports/PDFs as well as have nicely formatted html for the text on the web pages.

I seem to be able to cater for one or the other but not both.

1. I can leave the memo fields as raw text and the reports/PDFs look fine with the report formatting, but on the web page there is no formatting and the text ends up in one block paragraph with no formatting.

2. Use a html control for the hmemo fields and store all the html tags within it. The web page looks nicely formatted but the html tags will show up in the PDFs!

I've tried various tag stripping tools but they seem to give unpredictable results.

I also don't want to just dump the PDFs on the web, as they will be static and it's just plain lazy!
(too many unnecessary PDFs on the web IMO)

Is there any way i can cater for both formats?

Many Thanks
