Importing From Notepad Into Access Table - Date Format Query
Jul 24, 2005
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 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 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"));

When one user opens his ACCESS file, it opens in Notepad. He uses ACCESS 2003.
Now he has to right click on that file (on windows explorer) and select open with 'MS Access' to make it to work.
Any one knows how this setting can be changed to open with MS ACCESS?

I work at a hospital and I have been able to copy and paste data from a patient list into an Excel spreadsheet into a list I can customize to track patients I work with. I had a macro that would take the data copied and pasted and organize it in the way I needed it in a design that works for me.
I'm trying to convert this system to Access to give me more control over the data and to try and make the process of creating the list a little more automated. I also have an Access database for "tracking", which is required by hospital management so I was hoping I could use the patient list database to streamline the process of entering interactions into the tracking database.
I'm not sure how to get the copied and pasted patient list into an Access in a way that will let me manipulate it in Access to do what I want it to do without having to add several steps of a) pasting it into Excel, b) importing the spreadsheet into the Access database, and c) cleaning the data that ends up in the final Access table.
Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or table format directly from the clipboard, which would allow me to skip Excel altogether? I'm using Access and Excel 2010.

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 want a string of code that allows me to import a series of delimited text files into access using VBA. I have the first bit of code down:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, deltxtimptbl, "Delivery(local)", "msfs3109data1shareeveryoneprorep ranhistDelivery" & currentdate & ".txt"
The text files hold data for a specific days work. Each day has its own text file. I would like to be able to import the text files within a specific date range, specified by the user. Below is the total code i have for my form button:
rivate Sub Command0_Click()
Dim startdate As String
Dim enddate As String
Dim currentdatex
Dim count As Integer
count = 0
[Code] .....

Hi all and a happy new year,
I am getting more and more infuriated with dates and access. I thought I had it all working, and now I get to 01/01/2008 and it all falls apart. Anyway,
I have a lump of ASP that finds various dates and queries them against an Access DB. I have used response.write to see what is being sent to the database, and they are in UK format DD/MM/YYYY as they should be. The field in my DB stores the dates as DD/MM/YYYY. Now for the bit that is driving me mad.
Somewhere in access, US format is being used. For instance, I have a date value that finds tomorrows date. In this case its 02/01/2008 for the 2nd of January 2008. When I enter the SQL in access though, no data is brought back. If I query on date equalling 01/02/2008 then data is brought back!
So, my program is outputting UK format, the dates are stored in UK format, my regional settings and everything else on my computer are UK format. Access is trying to find US format though-why?
Its driving me mad!

Hi All,
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
Set db = CurrentDb()
dtDate = Format(Now(), "dd/mm/yy")
mySQL = "INSERT INTO tblCurrentUser( userdate ) values (" & "#" & dtDate & "#" & ");"
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
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("", mySQL)
qdf.Execute
End Function

Hi,
I have an access database which has a date field. I've entered all of the dates in valid UK format (dd/mm/yyyy). An example of the table looks like this:
Id| SeminarName | SeminarDate
1 | Introduction | 18/02/2006
2 | Other stuff | 19/02/2006
When I do:
SELECT * FROM tblSeminar WHERE SeminarDate=#18/02/2006#;
It doesn't return any records. If I remove the WHERE SeminarDate... it works fine, likewise if I use:
SELECT * FROM tblSeminar WHERE SeminarDate=#02/18/2006#;
So something is causing the date not to match.
I'm using <%Session.lcid = 2057%> at the top of all of my pages, and am hoping to keep all formatting in UK dd/mm/yyyy format.
Can anyone help here?? Thanks very much...

I have converted an old database to Access 2007 and find I need to edit my queries that use the date format function.
eg change from Format([date],'yyyy') to Year(date)
I can change each query manually but is there a quicker way to do this?

I am having a problem with the date function in access 2010. The default format is Date/Time "General" but the sample on the right side just shows a number (17). The field goes blank on any date I enter. I have to manually format the date field with mm/dd/yy to show the dates in the date field. I don't always have to manually format the date. The long and medium dates are the only two from the drop down list that show dates properly.

Lads,
Here's a little problem that is driving me nuts. I know what is wrong and yet I can't fix it!
I have an Access D/B and a mail merge word doc which gets its data from a table in the database. Now the date is in the correct format in the table i.e. uk/european format. The 5 of january 2005 would be 05/01/2005.
However when this gets into the word doc it changes to USA format i.e. 01/05/2005.
Not very desireable! how do I fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Liam

I've written a vba macro that takes data from Excel, processes it into an XML file & then imports into Access.All fields were fine apart from the date field, which appeared in the Access table as "00:00:00"...The date in the XML was appearing as 01/01/2014.
Code:
dateTemp = [date here]
xmlFieldElement.Text = Year(dateTemp) & "-" & Format(Month(dateTemp), "00") & "-" & Format(Day(dateTemp), "00") & "T00:00:00"
This produces 2014-01-01T00:00:00...Note, putting the date into reverse order without the formatting also causes the import to result in 00:00:00

I have a database with existing tables.I now want to add a whole bunch of records into my access tables.A lot of the data is repeated, and lends itself to my doing it in excel with it's better copy and paste abilities, and it's ability to easily increment alphanumeric fields.I can't seem to succeed in append importing to the bottom of my access table from my excel spreadsheet. All columns are the same.Can this be done, and if so how please?I'm on XP Pro with Office 2003 Pro.I'm also very much a newbie in Access.

I'm using Access 2003 connecting through ODBC. I'm trying to set up an automated query to grab today's data. normally it's pretty easy, all you'd have to do is enter date() in the criteria in an access query. Unfortunately, the date in my database (i can't change this) is in an odd format.
example: april 1st, 2013 = 1130401
Every single date always has that preceding "1" in front of it, then the year, then the month, and finally the day.
I want to always specify the current date whenever the query is run (without having to type it in)

Hi,
i experience the following problem::confused:
When I import a xls sheet into an existing table in Access, which has all columns formatted as text, sometimes it goes wrong.
When in one of the xls sheets' columns there is no text for a number of rows, but just zeros (as text) then Access believes it is a number format and will not import any text in later rows. So Access checks according to the first few rows wether or not it is an interger or text. How can I make sure it only sees it as text?
Thanks in advance.

I have the following query
SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate Between #4-9-2006# And #4-10-2006#
I expect rows with OrderDate = 5-9-2006 to be returned, however they are not.
Apparently the date formats are interpretted as mm-dd-yyyy instead of dd-mm-yyyy.
Can I set the default date format or is there another solution?

Hi,
I have a query in which I am pulling from another table. On the table I have a field called Tag, which consists of data in the form of a combo date/place. Ex) 29OCT7NY date = 10/29/2007; place = NY
When I call on the Tag field in my query, I only want the date portion. So, I used the Left function... Left([Tag],6). But I also want to format the date portion so it is always in the form 10/29/2007 in my query. I tried Format(Left([Tag],6), mm/dd/yyyy) but it did not work. I think it has something to do with the weird form of the Tag field "ddmmmy".
If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!
