How To Format A Field On A Form As Date ?
Mar 15, 2007
I am using ODBC with oracle tables..
My table has columns startdate and end date which are of type varchar(backend tables)..but when i display it in form it should display it as mm/dd/yyyy format, i tried setting format property as Short date but that doesnt work as my form is based on a query.and all the more my table stores the date as yyyymmdd -19990110, this is the way its stored in table (in varchar) so how do i do this?
i also tried "to_date(substr(startdate,5,4),'mmdd')" --putting this in the query based on which the form loads but this doesnt work even..
i cannot run this query from access as it says undefined function to_date , but when i run this in Sqlplus it gives me the output but i m not able to get the year part...
So how do get the date field in form as mm/dd/yyyy?
Thanks very much in advance!!!

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 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 saw a thread once that explained how to format a date or phone number field after you've entered the data, but I can't find it again.You do it so that you don't have the __/__/__ or the ___-___-____ pop up in the field and don't have to worry about inadvertently starting typing the data in the middle of the field instead of the beginning.Anybody know where that thread is at, or know how to do that?

I have two tables that I import that have both a date field and a time field formated as text. date field looks like yyyymmdd and time looks like hhmmss. I am using two append queries that combine the data into one table and I need the date and time fields to be date and time format respectively. When I run the query as is I get no values in either the date or the time field due to a data tyoe mismatch. My question is how do I convert the input table date and time text type fields to date and tie format for the append query.
Thanks for the help

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.
Thanks!

I have a date/time field on a form.
I have a calculation that adds number of days to Date() and enters the answer in the field. Example:Date()+30.
If the answer comes on a week end, can I get the date entered to be the next occuring week day?
Thanks

I'm using Access 2007. I am needing to duplicate a field (It is necessary)
I use the following code.
Private Sub Confirm_Course_Number_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Me.Confirm_Course_Number = YearMonth
End Sub
It works exactly the way I want, however the date is showing long. What code do I put in for YearMonth to put it in the format of "ddmm"...

condition formatting a date field in access.The query used for this field produces a date or "NA" based on the formula below. so when the date shows up as "NA" then i have set the condition formatting of the cell to grey and this works works well. but when it shows up with a date it doesnt format to a grey.the formatting pane has these two expressions
1. Q_Induction_Date = "NA" then grey the cell
2. Q_Induction_Date < DATE() then grey the cell and this DOESNT work. i have also tried the function Now() and that doesnt work either.
Formula i use in the query is
Q_Induction_Date: IIf([y].[INDUCTION_NA]=-1,"NA",IIf(IsNull([induction_date]),"NA",Format([induction_date],"dd/mm/yyyy")))

I'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 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 short date field 5/20/2014
I would like to set up a conditional format to format those fields in the current month. For example, this month is would format all fields with "5".
Next month all fields with "6"
In the month space.
I can't seem to figure out the expression, I know I'm close.

I have a table which will contain project information, and want the ID field, which auto assigns a unique number to each record, to be formatted like this P12-001, where 12 = the last two digits of the year the record was created. I know that if I type into the format field "P"00"-"000 i get the ID number in the format I want, but cannot figure how to get the first two zeros, to be the date format.
Further, I would like the ID numbers to restart from 1 each year, so this year this first project, P12-001 and may run through to P12-063, then the first project I enter next year to start P13-001.

Hello,
I am about to put my head through a wall. Perhaps you can help (not with the head through the wall - I can do that on my own). I have an ASP form that updates an Access database. Everything works except for one line of code. This one line is a concatenation statement that assembles month+day+year and updates a date field in the database. I know Access is particular about its date formatting, but I thought I had it right. Can someone help? This is the line of code:
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("Vacated") = "#" & Request.Form("VacMo"&rsUpdateEntry("Number")) & "/" & Request.Form("VacDay"&rsUpdateEntry("Number")) & "/" & Request.Form("VacYr"&rsUpdateEntry("Number")) & "#"
It should result in my date in #MM/DD/YYYY# format. I have tried all kinds of combinations of formatting and can't come up with the right one. I get the same "Type mismatch" error every time. I would love it if someone could shed some light on this one.
Thank you,
John

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.

We use access to enter our service tickets in at work.What we have are three date fields.
Call Date
Start Date
End Date
We are 24/7 operation.Currently all 3 just autopopulate with the current date.What i would like to do is ADD a CHECKBOX next to each Date Field.And make it work like this.
1. let them autopopulate as they are currently
2. if you end the call AFTER MIDNIGHT (the next day). CHECKING the box would automatically populate yesterdays date in each of the fields that has the check box CHECKED

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.

Hello,
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.
Benno

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.
