Retriving date from access database

1 New Member
i've encountered a weired problem while retrieving date from access database:
i'm using ASP VBscript\Jscrip t
the data is stored using the "date()" command on VBscript code by someone else.
when i'm trying to extract the code from the database using Jscript, i get full(unwanted) format(i.e:Day Mon dd 00:00:00 UTC+0000 Year)
BUT when i do the same thing with VBscript- i get the date AS i entered it(i.e: dd/mm/yyyy)
how can i convert the code from full format t short one? for some reason i cant seem to handle the long format- when i do "typeof(extract ed)", i get that it's type is object, and extracted.Item is date. "toString" doesn't work for some reason("Object doesn't support this property or method"/"Object expected")
Any help will be appreciated

Ohad,

I just looked this up and found that you are right, jscript has no native formatDateTime function like vbscript. You will either need to write a function yourself for it, or use vbscript.

I have a gridview that's being populated from an access db query. The problem I'm having is that the date/time fields in access that are populating the gridview are showing both date and time, when the field should only be showing one or the other (date or time). Even on the back end of the database where the column properties are, I have chosen the smallest date/time formats. When the aspx page runs, it shows the date and time (ie:in a...

Hey folks, Let me start out by letting you know what I'm working with. I'm building an application in VB 2005 that is basically a userform that employees can use to "Clock in". The form allows the employee to enter their UserID and select "Login" or "Logout" and then click a submit. When the submit button is clicked, I want the application to dum the NT Userename, UserID, status (Login or Logout) and a date/time stamp into an MS Access...

Hello all, General question for back-end database that has numerous date fields where the database will be used in regions that put the month first, and regions that do not. Should I save a date format in the table design, such as: mm/dd/yyyy? What I've done for years is to store the date format in date fields, then on the forms, based on their region, I would set the date formats on form_load

On my machine in the office I change the computer setting to English (UK) so the date format is dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy for US. This problem happens in either Access or SQL Server. In the database I have a table with Date/time column. The database is located on a machine that is set to dd/mm/yyyy also. When I enter date 7/1/08 (as in January 7, 2008), it stores it in the database as 1/7/08 instead of 7/1/08. Why is it like that...
