I am using ODBC with oracle tables..
My table has columns startdate and end date which are of type varchar(backend tables)..but when i display it in form it should display it as mm/dd/yyyy format, i tried setting format property as Short date but that doesnt work as my form is based on a query.and all the more my table stores the date as yyyymmdd -19990110, this is the way its stored in table (in varchar) so how do i do this?
i also tried "to_date(substr (startdate,5,4) ,'mmdd')" --putting this in the query based on which the form loads but this doesnt work even..
i cannot run this query from access as it says undefined function to_date , but when i run this in Sqlplus it gives me the output but i m not able to get the year part...
So how do get the date field in form as mm/dd/yyyy?
Thanks very much in advance!!!

In Access the SQL would be - Format([startdate],"mm/dd/yyyy")

Try this ... -
-
MEMBER_END_DATE1 = Format(CDate([MEMBER_END_DATE]), "mm/dd/yyyy")

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,
1) I'm using a program that save data automatically into a database.
I'm using access to view the data using queries. In the 'StartDate'
field the data appears as a number (e.g. 38299.6143981482).
What can I do in order to view this data as TIME/DATE?
2) In another field that data is in seconds. How can I format it to
show HH:MM:SS ?

Apparently, « new Date() » reads it correctly, though problems
can occur if the browser returns only two digits for the year.
In particular, time zone, field order and separators may vary.
It is also reliant on the server's clock...

I am trying to display my verified_datetime field into 2 different
columns (1 for Date, and 1 for Time). Using this query returns
nothing.
Format (, "mm/dd/yy") AND
Format (, "hh:mm")
I then would like to filter anything between the hours of 5:00 PM and
8:00 AM but am hitting a roadblock there as well. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

In my project I have an underlying Access DB. One of the column's is
currently set as a text field but I need to change it to a date/time
field.
I can open the Access DB in MS Access and change this in Design mode
and then set the format to 'Short Date' and then open the appropriate
table and it has converted all rows from:
1-5-95
5-13-95
