Format a joined date time field in a query

7 New Member
Table has a date field formatted as a short date dd/mm/yy, and a time field formatted as short time hh:nn. When I join those fields in a query
ie. Date_Time:[Date]&"_"&[Time] the result is displayed as dd/mm/yyyy_hh:nn:ss in the query and the chart that is attached to it. I only want dd/mm/yy_hh:nn to be displayed.
How can i change it. I have tried to format the joined field, and either and the query does not run or it makes no difference to the output.

thankyou

SOLVED:- The trick is
Date_Time:Forma t[Date]&"_"&[Time],"dd/mm/yy"&"_"&"hh:mm" )

Brian,

I'd like to start by recommending strongly that you find other names than [Date] & [Time] to use in your project. While they work in most circumstances, they are reserved words, and as such should be avoided for names.

For your query, I would suggest an alternative of :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Date_Time: Format([Date]+[Time],'dd/mm/yy\_hh:nn')

I have a simple query of joined tables that is failing to give me any rows of data (though, in checking by hand, it certainly should). Essentially, I am trying to return all rows from `ups` that have `floattime` not equal to it's default value of '0' (please not, in this db dates and times are saved as varchars - so essentially I am comparing strings) SELECT ups.date,associates.branch ,associates.username ,ups.time ,ups.floattime...
