Exporting date data

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?

Big Time, Design a query based on the table you want to export.
Right-click in your date field and select properties. On the format line
type in mmm/yy. In your spec use the query to export instead of the table.

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...

I've created a report with many subreports of aggregate data.

I have what I think is a little strange...I have to get data from our payroll system into a specific format (fixed record length) as a .txt or .prn file only to upload to our 401k custodian. I can get the data into Access (from Payroll) and write a query with all the fields (inserting fields with spaces, as needed), but I can't figure out how to get it to export to a .txt file - without the field name header row.

I am attempting to automate a process involving importing a .txt file into an existing table, changing a date in each record, then exporting the table, again as a .txt file. One field contains a date (yyyy-mm-dd) and another a date/time (yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss). If I do the export manually, the exported data in the .txt file is correct, but if I automate the process using the transfertext action and an export specification, the date field exports...

Hi there, My question does not concern the exporting of data to CSV so much as the format of the exported data. The data to be exported consists of a time series of prices for a number of assets. I can easily bring up a query of the data I want to export in the following way: SELECT Date, Asset, AssetPrices FROM tblPrices; returning:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
