Date Format in MS Access using a query

Date Format in MS Access using a query

Hi

I want to alter the existing column's format using the alter query. The issue I am facing is I want to set the default date format of an existing "Date_Edit" column in "DD/MM/YYYY" format irrespective of Date format of the Operating System.
It would also be really appreciable if any body provides me the details regarding altering the attributes of an existing column.

Thanks and Regards
Sathya

I am importing data into a new database (the database still has to be set up) and have a problem. The comma delimited text files I am importing have four fields containing date and date/times. One field in particular has a date format of MMM dd yyyy hh:mmAM eg Feb 20 2004 10:00AM.

Hi, I am developing a project in which I am checking for records with overlapping start/end dates. Record dates must not overlap date of birth, date of death, be in the future, and must not overlap existing records from the same table. I had this all working some time ago, but recently when I have gone back to do more testing, part of these validations no longer work. While there have been changes to the code in the meantime, I cannot...

Running MS Access 2000 MS Windows XP Pro This has caused me a lot of hair loss in the last few days so would appreciate any help. I am running code to append/update a local access database from a remote MS SQL database. The method of determining which records to append is primarily using the last date an update was carried out; I appreciate that there is probably a better way of doing this but time

Help! I am calculating a future date using the DateAdd function in a query (the calculation also involves an IIf statement), and have managed to get this formula to produce the required result. I then want to search through the records and select those with dates (as caluclated above) within a user defined range, and so I am using a parameter query. However, this query returns dates outside of the range and appears to have particular...

I apologise if this post seems a little basic, but I am a newbie and have NO access knowledge. I have downloaded the Accounts Ledger from the Microsoft Website. It allows the user to review a report of transactions between a Start & End date. The Tables and forms i believe are UK format "dd/mm/yyyy", However, when I click on "Review Reports" and enter the date as UK "dd/mm/yyyy", it returns nothing.

Hello I'm using Access 2003, and I have a query (written in SQL) which has two parameters and asks the user for two dates. This has been working fine. Today I modified the query, removing the paramerters and hard- coding some dates in, in dd/mm/yy format. To my surprise I got a different number of records returned. I then, as an experiment, change the date format to dd/mm/yyyy. This again returned a different number of records,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
