date in reports

hi,
how can i set the dates in a fieldn in my tables in ms access to
handle only dates and no time? in creating my table, i set its type
to 'date/time' with 'short date' format. but when i entered values in
it, the data i get was '4/1/2004 4:28:12 PM'. i only want this field
to hold date and no time. can somebody tell me how to get rid of the
time?
thanks!

On your data entry form, you are using Now() to enter the date. Now() also
includes the time. Change Now() to Date().

Make a copy of your table and try this to change your existing data to date
only. Change the data type of the field to Integer. This should drop the decimal
portion of the data values which is the time. Then change the data type back to
date/time.

thanks for the inputs...

actually, i just found out that my real problem is in my query because
when i want to group my entries according to dates, my query cannot
group them because it seems that it is also evaluating the time... so
if i have entries with '4/1/2004 4:28:12 PM' and '4/1/2004 4:30:12
PM', my query treat them as two separate dates because they have
different time... any ideas how to eliminate my problem? please
help...

I assume this is in a totals query.

Put the date in the query a second time.as an expression
expr1: format(mydate, "yyyymmdd") group on it, but make it
invisible. change the group By for the other date as First of,
and it should give the result you want.

Easy, sort on a formatted date in your query.

I have a master "attendance" report that also has two "attendance" sub-reports...each collecting data from a different group...and totaling those present at the end. I chose sub-reports because of the way they needed the data displayed. When printing this report, they wanted an option to select by date. The sub-reports are linked to the master by this "date" field.

I have followed instructions on the http://allenbrowne.com/tips.html for limiting a report to a date range. At the bottom there is a note that says You will end up using this form for all sorts of reports. You may add an option group or list box that selects which report you want printed, and a check box that determines whether the report should be opened in preview mode. I have tried several times to do this but can't figure it out....

I'm looking for a method to enter and retain a start date and end date for use with a macro that runs 11 month-end reports that each require the same start date and end date. FYI- currently, the macro runs and requires entry for start and end dates for each report as it opens. Where no data is available, the macro informs of no data, requires acknowledgement, then proceeds to the next report.
