Exporting Date to txt file

77 New Member
Hi,

I have a Make Table query that has the Date field as follows,
Date: IIf(IsNull([FSP date]),"",DateValue( (IIf(IsNull([FSP date]),"",Format([FSP date],"mm/dd/yyyy"))))).

Query run fine and creates the table, but when I try to export it to a txt file using the export wizard it fails and gives me the message that says, "Microsoft Jet Database could not find the object". Could somone please shed some light and tell me what am I doing wrong here !!

Thanks

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Date: IIf(IsNull([FSP date]),"",DateValue((IIf(IsNull([FSP date]),"",Format([FSP date],"mm/dd/yyyy")))))

Hi. Whatever is happening it is unlikely to be as a result of the date conversion and subsequent table export. Out of interest I tried a make-table that included a number of fields along with your string-converted date function. I exported the table to text with no problems.

You might wish to backup your database then try a compact and repair and see if your export difficulties continue.

Your string conversion for the date does not need to test for null twice:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Date: IIf(IsNull([FSP date]),"",DateValue((Format([FSP date],"mm/dd/yyyy"))))
-Stewart

ps the DateValue function is unnecessary too and can be left out altogether:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Date: IIf(IsNull([FSP date]),"",Format([FSP date],"mm/dd/yyyy"))

I have a process that exports an Access table to a comma-delimited text file. One of the fields that is exported shows the date it was exported, using the Date() function. In the Access table, the date appears in the records in mm/dd/yyyy format, but after exporting, the date appears as mm/dd/yyyy 0:00:00. For example, today is 11/06/2003. It shows 11/06/03 in the Access table, but the exported text file shows 11/6/03 0:00:00. I thought...

I've created a report with many subreports of aggregate data.

I'm exporting a large amount of data from one of my tables into a tab delimited text file. The problem is the fields that have date format come out in MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS format when what I want is to have the dates come out simply as MMM/YY i.e. Jan / 04 instead of 1/1/04 00:00:00 . I have tried using export specs to get this to work but there is no option to drop the DD and have it export simply as Jan/04. Is there any way around this?

I am attempting to automate a process involving importing a .txt file into an existing table, changing a date in each record, then exporting the table, again as a .txt file. One field contains a date (yyyy-mm-dd) and another a date/time (yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss). If I do the export manually, the exported data in the .txt file is correct, but if I automate the process using the transfertext action and an export specification, the date field exports...

Hi there, My question does not concern the exporting of data to CSV so much as the format of the exported data. The data to be exported consists of a time series of prices for a number of assets. I can easily bring up a query of the data I want to export in the following way: SELECT Date, Asset, AssetPrices FROM tblPrices; returning:

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