I have a process that exports an Access table to a comma-delimited
text file. One of the fields that is exported shows the date it was
exported, using the Date() function. In the Access table, the date
appears in the records in mm/dd/yyyy format, but after exporting, the
date appears as mm/dd/yyyy 0:00:00. For example, today is 11/06/2003.
It shows 11/06/03 in the Access table, but the exported text file
shows 11/6/03 0:00:00. I thought maybe the Date() field had to be
specifically changed to Short Date format, but this did not solve my
problem. Because of the added 0:00:00, any fields following this date
field are not being recognized when that text file is input into a
second, larger FoxPro database. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Don't export the table. Create a query based on the table and export that.
In the query you can replace the Date field with an expression using the
Format() function. This will return a string version of the date with the
formatting you specify and this will be exported to the text file as
desired.
FormattedDate: Format([YourDateField], "mm/dd/yyyy")

You could create a query based on this table and in the date field use the
format function thus:
Format([MyField],"mm/dd/yyyy")
which will return a text string in the format you want.

I'm exporting a large amount of data from one of my tables into a tab
delimited text file. The problem is the fields that have date format come
out in MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS format when what I want is to have the dates come
out simply as MMM/YY i.e. Jan / 04 instead of 1/1/04 00:00:00 . I have
tried using export specs to get this to work but there is no option to drop
the DD and have it export simply as Jan/04. Is there any way around this?

Hi all--
In an attempt to commit an Access MDB to a versioning system (subversion),
I'm trying to figure out how to convert a jet table's metadata to text, a

the svn repository text files.
Has anybody dealt with this?
Thanks in advance,

Okay so the following is a question I posted earlier...to clarify what I'm trying to do here...I simply want the printed output to be put into a new field in a different table that's already created as recSet2...I'm assuming this is relatively simple and my syntax just is incorrect or perhaps the way I'm opening my connections allows for a read only connection? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
