I have a report that shows a date along with many other fields, I am trying
to keep this date field as small as possible to make room for other fields
so I want it to be a 6 digit date.
My problem is that Windows default Short Date uses 8 digits not 6 so when I
distribute my DB the user has to change the standard regional settings, what
I want to do is format the date to be 6 digits.
I have tried setting the fields Format to DD\MM\YY instead of Shot Date,
this works fine but forces the displayed date to show the Day before the
Month, some users might want the month to be shown first. My question is,
how can I format the text box to display a 6 digit date while retaining the
regional settings of Month or Day first?

AFAIK, you can't. If this is essential to your application, you could write
a function that determined the user's Short Date format (hint: use something
like DateSerial(2003 , 2, 1) and parse it to see where the 2 and 1 occur) and
explicitly set the Format property of the textbox depending on what you
return from that.

I have a field that is stored in SQL Server in date/time format. On one
page, I only need the date to display. I am able to do this by saying:
DateValue(strLastModified)
However, this returns to me the date in this format:
05/10/2004
Instead, I would like to see:

Hi,
I don't know what happened, but all the MS Access dates in all tables,
queries, forms, and reports in all databases suddenly show on my
computer with the year as 4 digits (including network databases I
access on my computer). It used to always be 2 digits.
I have been changing the format of dates in all my databases tables,
queries, forms, and reports to mm/dd/yy and that was working for a
while. But today, the reports I made this...

Hello All!
I have written a simple app that auto downloads a file from a secure
ftp, renames it, and moves it to a network location. Everything works
great except the renaming part. I parse out the last write date to get
the new filename, but the days and month are only single digits! This is
a problem when you reach something like 01/11/2004 and 11/1/2004, I get
dup filenames! ie.. 2004111.txt.
any idea on how I can rename these files...

I'm trying to convert the current year into a 2-digit format. Since
getYear returns 106, I'm trying to perform a substring of getFullYear()
with no luck. What am doing wrong?
currentTime = new Date()

I set the input mask for the date field to "00/00/00;0_" but instead of
showing a 6 digit date such as 01/01/06, I receive 01/01/2006 an 8
digit date!
Is there a manner in which I can over ride this?...In the table
containing this date field? Or by way of the textbox control in which
the date is entered on my subform?
Thanks!,

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
