Convert Dates in Exported CSV file

1 New Member
I am trying to create a CSV export file that has a date field. If you look at the table in Access the date looks like mm/dd/yyyy.

I want to run the export wizard to create a spec so I can use it in a Transfertext.

I am trying to convert the date to dd-mm-yyyy.

I selected the - as the separator and the format as DMY.

When I look at the exported file, some dates are MM/DD/YYYY and some dates are DD-MM-YYYY.

Why are only some of the dates converted?

I checked the file and all dates in the column of the original table seem good (MM/DD/YYYY).

Thank you for any help received.

What is the type of the field in the Access table where these dates are stored?

I suspect that it is string rather than DateTime. Remember, strings can look like almost any other standard field type.

I'm trying to write some code that will convert any of the most popular standard date formats twice in to something like "dd Mmm yyyy" (i.e. 08 Jan 1908) and compare the first with the second and calculate days, months, and years.

I have a need to convert simple dates (i.e. 02/14/2005) to a number, do some math, and convert back to a date. (in a simple query). The math involves adding or substracting days, and days of the week . I've used the weekday() function to convert dates to numberic days of the week (1-7) I've used cdbl (date) to convert a date to a serial number, but then I do math with the number and I can't seem to convert this back to a date.

Salut, mon problème est le suivant: j'ai une DB avec des liens vers des fichiers texte. je voudrais savoir comment je fais pour pouvoir dire à Access qu'un champ de type date peut être vide ? ou autrement dit, un fichier texte avec des "champs" date vides peut-il être lié sans erreur dans access.

Hi, I am writing to a text file the records in an access table that is to be loaded into an Oracle system. However, I have been told that the date fields in the records I have exported to the text file that are not compatible with oracle. The format looks like: 01/01/2006 and I need it to look like 01-JAN-2006. I have tried using the format function and the variable still shows it
