My DB is Access 2000 based "possibly written in 2002" and I have to send and
receive update files, ported to a UNIX server by FTP, DB unknown.
The file content uses a fixed length string, zero filled left.
ie;
001332001695001 995040601040630
where,
001332,001695,0 01995,040601,04 0630
Filename: Newprice.txt - detail record
Field Name
Data Type
Description
OLCC Item Code
Numeric(6,0)
Zero filled to the left.
New Price
Numeric(6,2)
Old Price
Numeric(6,2)
Start Date
Numeric(6,0)
Format YYYYMMDD. Beginning date when new price takes effect.
End Date
Numeric(6,0)
Format YYYYMMDD. Last date when new price no longer applies.
My problem is that Microsoft DB format does not accept dates without
delimiters ie; / / or , , or _ _
The same goes for a similar time format in another file where time is hhmm
as opposed to MS hh:mm
How can I convert or get Access to import and export this format.
ie: yymmdd=040520=0 4/05/20
and 04/05/20=040520
I have to go both ways.
I hope I have provided enough information and appreciate any help you can
provide.

Hi Bruce.
Parse the text field with Mid(), and generate the dates with DateSerial()
If the text field is called "d", and contains strings of numbers
representing yymmdd, this example pulls out the 2nd date:
DateSerial(Mid([d], 7, 2), Mid([d], 9, 2), Mid([d], 11, 2))

Hi all,
I'm building an ASP app on a Windows 2000/IIS machine which interfaces
with our SQL Server 2000 database via OLE DB.
Since we're based in the UK I want the users to be able to type in
dates in UK date format to input into the database. In Enterprise
Manager on the SQL Server I can manually enter a record into a table
and just type in a UK date (MM/DD/YYYY e.g. 25/12/2004) and it accepts
it happily.

I have a number of DateTimePicker controls, some set to dates, some set to a
format of Time. The controls are all embedded in dialogs. I created the
controls by dragging the DateTime picker from the Toolbox and then set the
Format property appropriately.
I have noticed that sometimes the Time format will reset spontaneously to
Short Date. I looked at the .rc file and found that the usual form for a
Short Date is as follows:

I want to Insert only time value in this format (08:15:39) into the SQL

But when I insert it into the Sql Server database, it embadded date value

the output looks like that "01/01/1900 08:59:00" in that case time is

HI,
i have string in format
dd/mm/yyyyy hh:mm:ss
and giving this as an input to DateTime.Parse gives a string was not
recognized as a valid date time format string error.
how do i make the parse method to accept formating that i need.
if i do console.writeLine DateTime.Now.ToString it gives the format:
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
TIA, Z.

Access seems to be handling a date string conversion inconsistently in
an append query.
The query converts a YYYYMM string into a date, using the following
function:
CDate(Right(,2) & "/1/" &
Left(,4))
I entered the string "200715" in a record to test an error condition.

A TextBox displays the current date (in dd/mm/yyyy format) & time when
a user comes to a page (e.g. 15/10/2008 1:36:39 PM). To convert the
