How to convert Date to String

I created a form with the following fields:

ID (AutoNumber)
Date (Date / Time)
Name (Text)

I want to create a query that will take
the first letter of the Name & Date & ID & last digit of the ID.

Thanks,

galsaba

re: How to convert Date to String

Put the following expression in the first field of the query:
MyResult:Left([Name],1) & Left([Date],1) & Left([ID],1) & Right([ID],1)

Note that Date and Name are reserved word.s You need to change the names of
those fields.

re: How to convert Date to String

SELECT (Left([Name], 1) & Format([Date], "yyyymmdd") & Right([ID], 1)
AS MyTextString
FROM MyTableName;

Also, do not use Name or Date as the name of a field. They and many other
words are reserved words in ACCESS, and can create serious confusion for
ACCESS and Jet. See these Knowledge Base articles for more information:

re: How to convert Date to String

it did not give me the reulst.
If the name is Galsaba
and the date is 2/10/05
and the id is 1234

the result should be
G0210054

Thanks

Galsaba

re: How to convert Date to String

Then change the format argument used in Format to give you the desired
"date" format in the string (I used "yyyymmdd" as an example format):

SELECT (Left([Name], 1) & Format([Date], "mmddyy") & Right([ID], 1)
AS MyTextString
FROM MyTableName;

The above assumes that "02/10/05" means February 10, 2005.
