I need to run a query for a particular time frame. The only problem is that the CurrentDate field in the table has its data type set to Text.
I thought I could do something like this but it didn't work:
WHERE cdate(myTable.CurrentDate) >= #01/01/2004#
Isn't there a way to "convert" this field so that it behaves as a date field when the query runs?
Thanks,

I am creating an ASP page that uses a database with a field labeled 'Date' of data type Text.
I would like the records within a date range.
I tried using the following query:
"SELECT * FROM Project WHERE Date BETWEEN ' " + strBeginDate + " ' AND ' " + strEndDate + " ' "
I was partially successful.
The database contains data from 1/1/03 to 12/31/04.
When the following range is entered: 04/10/03 - 04/21/03, the results returned are 04/10/03 - 04/21/03 AND 04/10/04 - 04/20/04.
Any suggestions on how to approach this problem?
Thanks
I have a table with a field with names set to text data type and i want to change it to number data type but when i do it in design view the data get lost. I want to know if there is a way to convert the data in the field as number type and keep the data in the field.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is a way of only allowing text in a text field - we need to do this for validation purposes when inporting a text file into a database. I have tried input mask but this only checks when entering new data - I have tried to use validation rule like"???????" however this means that there has to be 7 letters in each field and this is not the case. - the field is for town and a couple of the records in this field have numbers at the end which are incorrect that we want the database to reject :eek:
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a data type that I can use that will handle both text and numbers such as percentages? Or is there a way I can set the field type to text then convert the text to a percentage? I plan on using this field in a form so when the user inputs the info I will want to display it in the correct format. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks
Hi All,
I was doing a project for school where I had to make a text field that would only accept the options Client Type(RET - Retail, SER - Service, DIN - Dining)
I thought I did it right by having a line with the field name as "Client Type" and the input as "text" with a field size of "3". and the description I put was "Client Type(RET - Retail, SER - Service, DIN - Dining)". But it doesnt work. I saved and everything. It will let me enter anything I want as long as it doesnt exceed 3 chars. I want it to ONLY accept RET, SER, or DIN and I want it to format it so its in CAPS.
Thanks,

In my database I have the following:
1)Projects table:
- Project ID - Number field (Primary Key)
- Project Name
- Location
- (other fields)
2)Working details: (this table has a form based on it and it's used to enter data by users)
- Project ID (this field has a lookup for the same field in the first table)
- Project Name (this field has a lookup for the same field in the first table)
- (other fields)
My problem is : in the second table, Project Name field has "Number" data type because the relationship between the table is on the Project ID which is number field. I want the Project Name to be "text" data type in the second table.
How can i do that??
hello once again,
I need to import a text file into an existing table in Access. The text file has been imported once and is working well and everything. However, since I had to change some of the datatypes to be able to query the table correctly, I now cannot import the text file anymore unless I change the datatype of the table itself. Since someone other than I will be doing the imports from here on out, changing the datatypes everytime is out of the question. I was looking at the TransferText event, but I didn't seem to see anything about converting data types. I can think of two options, and neither are probably possible:
1. import using the wizard. Since I didn't see anything related to the types of data, I don't think this will work...
2.import using TransferText. This doesn't seem to give me any opportunity to change the datatypes either. Is there anyway to programmatically change datatypes, or is there possibly an easier way that I'm overlooking??
thanks in advance,

Hello all - One of my 3 users' computers keeps coming up with an error when I try to enter the following command in the "Validation Rule" field of the table design view:
>=#1/1/1998# And <=Date()
Some investigative work showed that it's erroring on this clause: "<=Date()". Any idea why it would error on her pc and not the other 2 pc's? Her pc is old, but we're all using Access 2002. The error says: "The function you entered can't be used in this expression." Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks much.

I'm trying to create a query based on another query. However, my WHERE statement is causing a data type mismatch for a date. My code is:
Code:
SELECT id, status, updated, [previous renewal]
FROM qrynext renewal
WHERE status = "active" and [previous renewal] = date()
If I remove the " and [previous renewal] = date()" it works just fine. But even setting up [previous renewal] to equal #7/17/14# or "07/17/14" or anything else I've tried won't work. The field that it's based on is definitely a date field, but I don't know why it would cause a data type mismatch.
I have a table with about 300,000 records. About ten fairly small fields per record. I am trying to change the length of a text field from 25 to 40 characters, and I get the error message, 'MS Access can't change the data type. There isn't enough disk space or memory'.
I have never seen this message before. I have about 64 Gig of free disk space. What can I do?
I have encountered an issue when I was inserting a string (with newlines about 176 characters) into access table. This field in access has the data type TEXT and it was truncated after the insertion. It is strange because I have three other fields with the same format and no truncation at all. May I know what could be the reason and how/what is the recommend data type for storing long text?

I'm writing a pretty simple application to search an Access db. The query is:
Me.cmdSelectEvents.CommandText = "SELECT eventDetails.id, eventDetails.subject, " & _
"eventDetails.title, eventDetails.trainers, eventDetails.type, eventDetails.summary, " & _
"eventDetails.url, eventDates.date " & _
"FROM eventDates INNER JOIN eventDetails ON eventDates.id = eventDetails.id " & _
"WHERE (((eventDetails.subject)=@subject) AND ((eventDetails.type)=@type) AND ((eventDates.date)<@date));"
The parameters @subject and @type are simply strings selected from dropdown values.
The @date parameter is set by using a dropdown to select a timeframe to search in, specifically "Within 1 month", "Within 3 months", "Within 6 months". These options have the values "1", "3" and "6".
When the form is submitted the value of the selected option is passed into the following routine:
Dim valSelectedDate AsInteger
Dim dateParameter AsDate
valSelectedDate = ddlDate.SelectedValue
dateParameter = DateAdd("m", valSelectedDate, (Date.Now))
cmdSelectEvents.Parameters("@date").Value = dateParameter
When I run the debugger the right date value seems to be being passed to the sql query (i.e. if the user selects "within 6 months" and today's date is 5th May 2005, then #05/11/2005# is passed as the parameter) but I get the error data type mismatch. The column eventDates.date is a Date/Time column.
Can anyone help?
Hello guys,
Does anybode has any idea, of how to do that ? I can do it very easy in VB.NET, or C#, but in Access I give up.
So, I have to take data from the form , and send it to Sub.
With data type of String , I have no any problem, use Nz funciton, end everything, goes well.
But with Date and Integer, I can not find solution.
So :
Date
Dim PensionerFromDate as Date
PensionerFromDate = IIf(IsNull(Me.txtPDPensionerFromDate) = True, ????, Me.txtPDPensionerFromDate)
(instead of ???? i tried everything .. dbNull, vbEmpty, vbNull,sqldatenull, and somtimes it works but int the table stores "12/301899")
Integer
Dim CompanyID as integer
CompanyID = IIf(Me.cboCompany.Column(0) = 0, ????? , Me.cboCompany.Column(0))
I tried here instead of ????, tu insert "", ",," , " " , Cint("") itd. itd. . but nothing works.
Has anybody any idea ?
100 x thanks in advance
I have a variable (dtDueDate as Date) showing as 6/28/2013. I want to append a time value to it (dtMaxTime as Date) which is 5:00 PM so dtDueDate reads 6/28/2013 05:00:00 PM. I have been going in circles trying to figure this out. My goal is to append this date to a table field which has a datetime (General Date).

Hi,
I have a query with a field defined in the query as follows:
Next Bill Date:
IIf(IsNull([dtmLastBillDate]),
DateSerial(Year([dtmDateRecd]),Month([dtmDateRecd])+1,15),
DateSerial(Year([dtmLastBillDate]),Month([dtmLastBillDate])+[lngNumMonths],15))
I can't seem to set any criteria for this field without getting an error:
'Data Type Mismatch in Criteria Expression'
Examples of criteria that I've tried:
=#1/1/2005#
>#1/1/2005#
=Date()
Year([Next Bill Date]) = Year(Now())
All of the above generate that same error.
{I've seen many pages/posts regarding 'data type mismatch' but none seem to relate directly to this situation.}
I could use some help, fast!
Thanks in advance,

View 10 Replies View RelatedIn a query I would like to extract the last ten years. This is what the data looks like:12/13 (Data type = text)(Short for 2012/2013 which actually represents 7/1/2012 to 6/30/2013.)
I am able to extract the "12" and turn it into the general number 2012 using: ("20" & Left([TAXYR],2))*1..But how can I convert that to the data type-date so I can include those records in the past ten years from todays date? I was trying to use DateAdd but I think the problem is the data type and where converting to date gives me "1905" or "9/##/1905." I get why it does that, but is there a workaround? Maybe adding 39,785 days?? (2014-1905)*365

From a table I want a text field which has a path to a file to be copied automatically into a another field of the same table with a hyperlink text type...
View 5 Replies View RelatedWell 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!
