I have a spreadsheet that uses VBA code in Access to save itself as a text
file. The line is as follows.
xl.ActiveSheet. SaveAs CurrentProject. Path & "\Reports\" &
DLookup("[LetterLabel]", "tblButtons ", "ControlID=141" ) & ".txt", 20 ' 20 =
xlTextWindows
The code is using a DLookup to get the filename because it is different on
different sites.
The major problem, that has just been noticed is that the program is used in
Australia, but the dates saving in the text file are in American format.
They are in Australian format in the spreadsheet, but American in the text
file. This is unacceptable and I need to be able to force them into
Australian date format when the spreadsheet is saved as a text file The
format I need is dd/mm/yyyy.
Can anyone help - please?

This is an Excel issue, right? Not an Access one? (You're using an
Excel method to save the worksheet, not an Access one.) So I'd try
asking on an Excel group, they would be more likely to know.

Hi Dixie,
I'm sure this is not what your after; however, I'm curious; once
your data has been exported to Excel, can you not re-format your date
cells/column to the desired format, using the custom format cells
option, i.e. dd-mmm-yyyy ?
Cheers,
Dave

Try altering the spreadsheet. Reformat the cells as text instead of
date.
You are more likely to get useful help in an Excel newsgroup.

Thanks for the help everyone who offered it. I ended up taking the
following approach.
1, Creating a make table query that puts the recordset I want to export into
a temporary table.
2. Creating an export specification for it.
3. Using the DoCmd.TransferT ext command to send the data.
It seems to work OK now. The problems I was having are no longer apparent.

Hello,
there's a module called Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. It allows me to create
a new worksheet and edit its cells:
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('my.xls');
my $worksheet = $workbook->addworksheet();
$worksheet -> write('A2', 222);
But how can I put some values into the cells of an existing worksheet?

For some reason a stored procedure which I have created is incorrectly

The parameter used in the stored procedure comes from a VB6 app, I

Hi,
I'm trying to work with the Australian date formats and javascript and

Whenever I try to retrieve that date from my javascript, it'd return

Hi,
There is a date field in JSP form where user will enter date in
dd-mm-yyyy format. Now before saving into DB2, I want to validate the
date format against dd-mm-yyyy format and then save into DB2.
I've tried reading SimpeDateFormat and other date format classes, but
couldn't understand. It will be great if somebody tell the following

Hi guys,
I'm developing a web app on a UK computer. When I put a date into a textbox,
its in the format DD/MM/YY. The DateTime object takes that in and handles
in perfectly.
Now, I need to start using the american format MM/DD/YY.
My question is, how do I get the DateTime object to recognise what I'm passing
in as an American date? If the machine is installed on an american server,

I am trying to calculate the number of workdays between two dates with
regards to holidays as well. I have used Arvin Meyer's code on the Access
Web, but as I am in Australia and my date format is dd/mm/yyyy, I have found
that the dates I put in my holidays table are reversed into American dates.
So, the wrong holiday dates are subtracted from the total workdays between
the start and end dates. Is there an easy fix for this?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
