I have a table that has a date format DD/MM/YYYY this is good for some records that the date is known, however some records are more generic and the format is MM/YYYY, is it possible to be able to type both formats in the table (and consequently in the form)?
View RepliesEmbarrasing question, but my serches have proved fruitless.
Saving a Date field (Short Date) is saving as 1/02/2008 or 27/02/2008 in the table. Formatting this data in a query as dd/mm/yyyy displays correctly, but the mid function mid([Date],4,2) still picks up the table format, not the query format
My objective is to extract the 02 (month) using the mid function in a query. Beacuase the length of the day component varies from 1 to 2 characters, this is proving impossible
Is there a way to save the date as 02/02/2008 in the table?
Tried using input mask dd/mm/yyyy but kept getting invalid format error
Any help appreciated
I have a linked database that stores date values as YYMM in text format. I have no control over how that information is kept. I cant seem to find a way to convert YYMM text to date format. Additionally I would like to add the last day of the respective month to that data.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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.
The date format from one of my access tables is as follows:
11051977
9101978
and I need to amend to following formats within my select query:
11/05/1977
09/10/1978

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
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.

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.
I am trying to find a date format and superised that MS doean't offer this feature. The format I am trying to set setup is this: 01/01/2006. Right now, all I can do is to set it up by the befault setting of 1/1/2006 and is not what I am looking for. Is there a way that this format can be modified?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUsing MS Access I have the following SQL for a selection query:

The problem is that the 'between' dates should have dd-mm-yyyy format, but once the query is executed the format is mm-dd-yyyy. I do not understand why, because in the control panel of Windows I selected dd-mm-yyyy and in MS Access I selected the standard date format, being dd-mm-yyyy.:confused:
