I try to use MS Access application as data entry/verification tool in a
multi-centre international project, where each centre uses this
application for local project management and data collection. Regularly
the data are being unloaded , confidential information is masked, and
modified data are being sent to me for pooling and analysis.
One serious problem has emmerged recently: there are some centres where
local format for dates is yyyy-mm-dd, which is in coflict with input
mask specified for fields dd/mm/yyyy.
Does somebody have a feasible solution for this problem. I was looking
for possiblity to change local(national) settings automatically while
starting the application. However this seems to be not possible with VB.
Any other suggestions?

I created a text box; Text0. Here's what I had in my AfterUpdate event
Private Sub Text0_AfterUpda te()
incIt = incIt + 1
If incIt Mod 2 = 0 Then
Me.Text0.InputM ask = "99/99/0000;0;_"
Me.Text0.Format = "mm/dd/yyyy"
Else
Me.Text0.InputM ask = "0000/99/99;0;_"
Me.Text0.Format = "yyyy/mm/dd"
End If
MsgBox Me.Text0.InputM ask & vbNewLine & Me.Text0.Format
End Sub
Maybe you can set the input mask/format in the field when the form opens.

The thing to do especially in international applications is to use the
international date format yyyy-mm-dd as it's unambiguous, the input mask
dd/mm/yyyy will some accept dates entered in mm/dd/yyyy format so the
1st of April could be interpreted as the 4th of Jan. This is probably
another problem for you already whether you realise it or not.
I once thought that using medium or long dates was the answer to
international problems but was caught out when a user exported data to
another system with all the date names spelt in Turkish, the other
system didn't have a clue and rejected the whole lot (several megabytes
FTP'd over a painfully slow connection). The international format is
unambiguous and readable in all languages that I'm aware of.

I have used yyyy-mm-dd only for several years. Access, JET including
its SQL, MS-SQL, ADO, and ASP have always interpreted these correctly.
In my opinion, there is nothing for you to do.
I *always* use Clng(Datevalue) in the 'national' app
(I live in Holland and we have dateformat dd-mm-yyyy)
to make sure the dates are interpreted correctly.
If you can make sure they send the data to you in this format there is NO problem or conflict.

Dear scripters,
I am working on a HTML form in which a date must be entered of the form
'dd-mm-yyyy'. Now I'm looking for a script that, when the user switches to
another form field, changes e.g. 'ddmmyyyy' or 'dd-m-yy' to 'dd-mm-yyyy'.
I have searched the net using google, but only found validators that show
an error if an incorrect format is used. (and I can't write one on my own)
Does someone has such a script for me?

Hi all
the following code works perfectly well. Basically it populates a
series of check boxes on my form, depending on whether dlookup finds an
associated record.
The problem i have is that when the date (or xDate) goes over to the
next month, dlookup returns NULL even though though there is a record.
For example if CALWEEKSTART is 26/11/06 then the loop will check for

Hello all,
General question for back-end database that has numerous date fields where
the database will be used in regions that put the month first, and regions
that do not.
Should I save a date format in the table design, such as: mm/dd/yyyy?
What I've done for years is to store the date format in date fields, then on
the forms, based on their region, I would set the date formats on form_load
