I am trying to use DatePart to return a two digit month. I would like to see 01, 02, 03, ...10, 11, 12 for the months. How can I do this? I'm sure it has something to do with the format of my date field, but I can't figure out the custom format for it.
Thank you,

You can't with DatePart, but you can with format(YourDate,"mm")
format(now,"mm") for instance will return 01

Format$(DatePart("m", #1/6/2006#), "00") ==> 01
I'm curious, why would you want to use 2 functions to do the job that one function can do?

You would never, but apartain specifically stated that he wished to use the DatePart Function.
That's kinda what I figured, but I don't really think he's married to the idea, I think he just thought that DatePart was the only way to pull the month from the date. Of course, you have to wonder why MS won't let you use the "mm" with DatePart the same way as with Format to pull the two digit month designation.
Have a good weekend!

Linq,
Hope you don't mind me sending this question to you direct, but based on above, it seems that you have the answer to my question...
I'm grouping dates by month in a query for purpose of counts and averages on some other fields. Results display month as single digit (i.e. Jan = 1, Feb = 2, etc.). I would like to format the field so I get the month name spelled out, or better yet month-year (i.e. Jan-06, Feb-06, etc.). The auto format in Properties only provides number formats.
Here's what I have for a query field so far: SALE MONTH: DatePart("m",[SALE-DATE])
I tried this with no luck:
DatePart("mmmm",[SALE-DATE])
Thanx in advance.
Try this ...
Format(YourDate,"mmm-yy")
Try this ...
Format(YourDate,"mmm-yy")
Thanx Masq... worked great.

You're welcome.

Actually, in VBA, minutes are handled by n and months by m (of either case). The link you posted was for C# in .NET.
I couldn't find anywhere helpful on the web (unfortunately), but the Help System has a page that makes it pretty clear.
