I imported an Excel Sheet into a database. In this sheet were several coulums list travel time from one place to another. In this sheet the time in minutes. ie 120 was the same as 2 hours.
Anyway Now that it is in my database it is still in the number format. Is there an easy way to convert this to a time Format ie hh:nn
I have an application with a backend db on PC 1, and the same application on PC 2 linked to the backend db on PC 1 via the network.
The link works fine but the time formats are different.
On PC 1 the time format is shortime and displays as it should i.e. in 24 hour clock format
However on PC 2, opening the same database via the network, the time format is still shorttime but when you read the time within the code it comes out in AM/PM format. Also, when the defaul tiem should be #20:00:00# but this changes to #8:00:00 PM#
Weirdly though, when you just open the table, the times are in the correct shorttime format.
Guessing, it must be a setting within the main core of Access 2003 that is different between the 2 instances?
Any ideas?

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've run into a bug, I think. I have a time field with it set to show "Medium Time" which is "hh:mm(AM/PM)", however, when I combine the information with another field in a query (=[OfficeDay]&" - "&[POfficeTime]), the time comes out as "Long Time" or "hh:mm:ss(AM/PM)". End result is Wednesday - 10:30:00AM when it should be Wednesday - 10:30AMDoes anyone know a way around this?

I'm trying to put colons ":" instead of the dashs "-" for the time but I get a debug error, is there any way I can make it work, or am i stuck with dashes. Thanks.

Okay,
Missing something simple here and can't figure it out. I want to display a time in military 24-hour format but can't get it to show the first "0" between the times 0000 - 0959.
Current statement is:
datTripTime = Format(datArr, "HH:mm")
What am I missing please???
Thanks
I wish to insert in a table, not the date, but just the month and year (yy/mm or mm/yy), for example 05/10 or 10/05 for October 2005 (the order of yy and mm does not matter). In addition, I need to be able to sort the records chronologically using the same field.
I have tried various solutions with the date/time field or the number field (e.g. using yy.mm where the mm are the decimals). However, it does not seem to work correctly. Any suggestions for how I can do this by configuring the format, inputs mask and validation rule?

Hi
I'm very new to Access, so please be gentle;)
I have imported a appointment database that I need to analyse, however the Date & Time data within the table has been written as;
Date: 20051220 - which I would like to read dd/mm/yyyy (20/12/2005)
Time: 800 - which I would like to read as hh:mm (08:00)
I would like to produce a report of all the queries, i.e. longest appointment, shortest etc... but display them in the correct Date/Time format.
So how should I go about this?
I cannot alter the imported table in anyway.
1. Can I produce a mirror like table of the existing table, that automatically use the correct Date/Time format?
2. Can I alter the values within a query?
3. Can I alter the final output in the Report?
What is the best way to tackle this?
Hey guys, been away from Access and SQL for some time. I have a simple 2 column table with one thats set to Date/Time that displays the date only. Unfortunaly, when I run my query, the date comes out 7/9/2005 and I want it to come out as 7/09/2005. I know I am going to have to force it out with a format command, but its been so long that I have no idea how to. Right now my query, in SQL format, looks like this.
SELECT * FROM Table1 ORDER BY Date DESC
I just need the format command to force the date. If anyone can help, thx.
Hi,
I need to calculate the number of days between two days however the format on which i have my date includes the time in the same field -
2007-02-20 07:15:30.474
When I calculate one date minus an other the result is #error
I require the result to be in a count format e.g 2.3 days (like in excel)
Is there anyway to get around this without splitting the date and time?
Please help!:)

Is there an easy way to convert an integer into time? What I want is for the person to enter in 0820 or even 820a and then convert it to 8:20 am. This is mainly to save keystrokes.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello,
Using Access 2000, linking tables to Oracle 10g with a db trigger forcing the default display format within Oracle to dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss (ie 24hr time format). Unfortunately MS Access displays in 12 hr format in the datasheet grid. A Sybase article reported this issue:http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1024202. Do you know if this has been fixed for more recent versions of MS-Access?
Thanks

I want to calculate total hours and mins by adding a load of times (in time format) on a report. I've got the total number of minutes and converted this to hours : [txtmins]/60
Now I want to get the remaining minutes by using : [totalmins] - ([totalhours]*60)
However, how do I round DOWN the [totalhours] before it goes into the above sum. I can round it, but it always seems to round up.
If anyone has an easier solution let me know

I have a small issue, but cannot solve it. I have a form with a textbox bound to a time(7) on a SQL server linked table.
Even if I put the format as "Short time 24h" or "hh:mm" it will always come out with seconds, nanoseconds, etc as soon as you change record. I would like to avoid using the "current" event to keep the "hh:mm" at any record change.
I have a field in my report [Idle]
This has a time in a HH:MM:SS format (so 01:38:23)
What I need to be able to do is sum this greater than 24 hours and keep the format of HH:MM:SS - ideally I need to do this in the form field that I'll be using to sum it.
I am struggling to change the format of 2013-07-29 11:33:03.6160000 to show dd/mm/yyyy

Have a text field in a form with following relevant properties:
Format tab - Format: Short Time
Data tab - Inputmask: 00:00;0;_
Data tab - Default value: =Time()
Goal: show a default but editable current time in HH:MM format
Behaviour: When entering form current time is displayed in HH:MM - problem is that when I enter field with the curser it automatically changes format to HH:MM:SS.
How can I avoid/control that behavior?
I am currently working on a database where my source data has the times in military format which includes the seconds; 18:45:30. All my time fields are set to data/time and format is Short Time. The Short Time format gives me military time but only down to the minute. I need to include the seconds into my time fields. I tried creating an input mask but it converts it to standard time.
how I can show military time down to the seconds as in my example above?
I have strings with hours and mins i.e "1 hour" or "7 hours 30 mins" or "10 mins". how to convert it to timestamp hh:mm so i can caclulate the totals?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have an inherited database with years worth of julian dates stored as numbers (e.g. days 1-366 for a leap year). I also have some fields stored as short dates. I would like to run a series of parameterized queries on this data, some using the short data and some using the "julian dates" that are actually just numbers. I have the user enter the start and end date in short date format and would like that to be converted and held in an unbound field as a number value. So far I can get the date to appear as a "julian date" (e.g. 1/1/08 appears as 1, obviously the underlying data is still 1/1/08) How do I take that 1 and convert it to number value "1"? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

OK, I give up.
I have just finished 4 hours searching and searching.
I have access to a MySQL database that has a time field. I wish to use the DTS packages in SQL Server 2000 to aquire the data to the SQL Server.
I can connect/see it using an ODBC connection, both with access 2k and the DTS bizzo on SQL server.
The time data is being seen by the microsoft end as a date format with way out values.
As MySQL has a very obvious different way of handling date/time (2 data types - one date and the other time), there must be an obvious solution to be able to use this data in access / SQL server.
Hiowever, I cant seem to find it.
damn - fire alarm must go - please help if you understand this - i will ammend later

I am working on a report in Access2000 which is getting information from several tables via a number of queries.
I am using nested IIf() functions to combine text formatted data in a calculated query field before using it in a report.
One such IIf() function is
Desc_col: IIf([HOVR - UDP].[SERVICE] Is Not Null,[DA] & " " & [SEQ] & " " & [TYPE] & [MO] & " " & [SUB] & " - " & [HOVR - UDP].[SERVICE],
IIf([MinOfCCT] Is Not Null,"I/O DIST CAB " & [UDP - JC CIRCUITS-05-F].[PWR] & " - CCTS " & [MinOfCCT] & " thru " & [MaxOfCCT],IIf([DESCRIPTIO] Is Not Null,[DESCRIPTIO],"Spare")))
When I have tried to do the same thing with date fields it does not work. The function is fine as long as it is not nested.
That is
Rev_col: IIf([Rev_HOVR] Is Not Null,[Rev_HOVR],"")
and
Rev_col: IIf([Rev_Elec_equip] Is Not Null,[Rev_Elec_equip],"")
both work.
But when I combine them into a nested function
Rev_col: IIf([Rev_HOVR] Is Not Null,[Rev_HOVR],IIf([Rev_Elec_equip] Is Not Null,[Rev_Elec_equip],""))
I get an error message "! Data type mismatch in criterial expression"
There is no data mismatch in the original tables from which the information was extracted. The dates are all in DATE/TIME and set to "General"format in the tables.
I am wondering if I will have to use Visual Basic function to combine these fields. However that poses a problem. When I've looked at this I find that runtime VB is no longer available in Access and I do not want to go out and buy it on the offchance that it will work.
Can anyone tell me if there is another solution to my problem?
I have a date/time field. I would like to:
Enter time this way and have it show in the form as:
Enter 5 - show 5 PM
Enter 515 - show 5:15 PM
etc.
I would like it to default to PM and not have to select or enter the PM. How do I enter this format in the table?
