Hi,
I am trying to develop a database that will store dates in the format -
21.02.2006 rather than the standard 21/02/2006.
This is because of the SAP feeds that i am pulling in - since SAP
stores dates as dd.mm.yyyy
I would just store the dates as text but this makes processing the data
much harder.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Regards
Andrew Paton

You can use a custom format for the dates.
SELECT tblTableName.Fl dDates, Format([FldDates],"dd\.mm\.yyyy" ) AS
NewDate
FROM tblTableName;
Ok,
Its not the displaying that was the problem - it was mainly the problem
of inputting the data - see all of our staff use SAP on a regular basis
so it is second nature to type the date in the format dd.mm.yyyy -
whereas it will be stored in the database int the format dd/mm/yyyy - i
cant get an input mask to give me the right result! Any ideas?

If you are not bothered by the format, I would stick having an input
mask for short date. The users won't know any difference when inputting
as the input mask takes care of the placeholder. Change the format of
the field to Short Date and select Short Date as the input mask. You
can try to create your own input mask, but I have not been successful. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi all,
when i set a date field's type (12) to VARCHAR2 or STRING, I get the
date (mm/dd/yyyy) correct, but I can never get the time which is always
set to 00:00:00 even if i increase the buffer size? Is there anyway to
force pro*c to format correctly without using to_char because with
to_char i lose the ability to keep track of correct data type.
Thanks

Hello all,
I have an Access database linked to SQL Server tables and Views.
When I upsized the Access tables all the yes/no fields remained the
same, i.e., I see a check mark or not. When I create a yes/no field in
SQL Server, I see a 1 or a 0. I would like the new SQL server fields
to show me a check mark in the Access front-end. Is there any way of
doing this?

I'm currently presenting certain dates as YYYY/MM because Day=01 is understood.
YYYY-MM, however, looks cleaner to my eye.
But I can't get it to work with both .Format and .InputMask. They seem to
conflict when it's time to save the field's value and an "Illegal format"
message pops.
Anybody managed to pull this off, or am I fighting nature?

Hi
I have a very simple problem indeed, but I am unable to solve it. I
am inputing a short date into an unbound text box with a short date
input mask. I am in the UK so my date format is dd/mm/yyyy. Everything
works superbly well with one exception.
Example: Suppose I accidentally keyed in 04/13/2005 the program
assumes that I meant 13/04/2005 and swaps the day and the month field
around without displaying an error, so the date is...

Say I have a 32 bit value in data (v:4, r:4, l:8, p:16)

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

Hi,
I created a short date field. The format is dd/mm/yyyy when displayed.
The input mask is set to 99/99/00;0 (default, I didn't type anything).
If I edit an existing date, say change 12/14/2007 to 12/15/2007, I get
an error "the value you entered isn't appropriate for the input mask."
I have to delete the "20" in the year to get it accepted, and then it
puts the 20 right back. (I have the field set to required.)
I changed 99/99/00;0...

I am using Access, 2003. I have an entry form (single form) with a date field. I would like the user to be able to enter:
115 08
and have Access store and display the date as:
11/05/08, even though the zero was not entered. I am familiar with customizing formats and input masks, but cannot find any hint in the help section of how to achieve this. Is it possible? Maybe using VB (I am a novice at VB)?
Thanks

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
