CSV date Field IMPORT Problem

Hi

I have to Import some date values from a CSV file in to ACCESS 2003 .
the Data in the CSV files as
5/11/2006,10:14:52,8 9127,0,Hu,VID,S uccess,1,64,56, K,250,*
5/10/2006,07:39:31,9 ,0,Nabeel,VID,F ailure,0,17,64, K,250,*
5/ 9/2006,20:12:55,8 6411,0,Muni,VID ,Success,1,75,7 6,K,250,*
5/ 8/2006,08:22:13,1 0,0,Faqir,VID,S uccess,1,99,52, K,250,*

like that But the records on 5/11/2006 and 5/10/2006 are easily
imported in to access.
but 5/ 9/2006 & 5/ 8/2006 are not importing.

in report error table shows that Data type conversion error

why this happens?

In VB it also shows NULL in field of Date on particular recordset

waiting for Urgent reply

Thanking You

Ive run into this before, it looks like it is not recognizing the field
as a date because there is a space in the field. Try importing the
field as text to a temp table, then append from the temp table into
your final table, try using the cvdate() function to convert the dates
when you append.

I would think it's best to always import into a temp table. Assume imported
data is bad, until it is cleaned and checked. then append it you your
tables.

I am importing data into a new database (the database still has to be set up) and have a problem. The comma delimited text files I am importing have four fields containing date and date/times. One field in particular has a date format of MMM dd yyyy hh:mmAM eg Feb 20 2004 10:00AM. The other fields import correctly (although I haven't run a query against them) they have two other formats: dd/mm/yy hh:mm:ss and "plain old" dd-mm-yy. The...

I have the need to import logs into an Access table. The first field is a date & time field, represented in this example: 05/15/2004 17:58:55.336 This is how the logs are reported. DateTime. The time is to 3 decimal points of the second. Access is not letting me import this into the Date & Time field.

I have created an Excel spreadsheet that has a lot of data. What I want to do is import the spreedsheet to Access and create a form so that I can print each row per page in a proffessional manner. The problem is that whenever I import the data to access my dates show up in 38478 instead of 05/06/05. How can I convert this number back to the date format in access?

The date format mmddyyyy is common but I realize it's not a standard format in Access. There must be a simple way to provide this format to Access so it treats it as a date? In past, I play with it and do a (Left MM, Mid, and Right Function) and add "/" so it's recognized. There has to be a better way than this?? What I'd want to do is be able to import the data directly into a date field, vs import into a text and then transfer to a...

In Access 2007, I have successfully imported a text file with fixed width fields. However the import did not correctly interpret a date. In the text file the date field had no delimiter, was just MMDDYYYY. This column appears empty in my table. It doesn't seem like this is a hard thing to do. Any suggestions? Marianne

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