Date Field From Text Field
Jan 5, 2006
We are trying to import data from an outside shipping database into our access tables. The problem is that the date field is importing as a text field and we would like to convert it to a date field in our tables. We import this data everyday to monitor tracking of shipped parcels. Is there a formula to convert this data from text to date in our tables as it is imported or do we have to manually convert this data after importing daily? Any answers to this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I have a strange problem of converting a date field stored as dd/mm/yyyy to a text[8] field. Example 01/06/1947 should be converted to 01061947. What is the easiest way of doing it? I tried changing it to first to ddmmyyyy and then change it to text, but it did not work.Can someone help me please?
Many thanks,

I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.

Hi, I have created a table with a column called lastlogon, which stores the date of the last logon from windows active directory for a user id. Everything is being imported from a text file. Most of the time there is a valid date of format, "6/8/2006 1:10:23 PM" . I can declare the column as a Date/Time with that format, but sometimes if the user has never logged on, the source data will "never" for that column.
I have resorted to creating the column as a text field and trying to "convert" the valid fields to real dates for use in queries. In a very similar situation, I had the same problem with numbers and text. There is another column that keeps track of the password age, and it will either contain a number (in days) or the string, "NeverChanged". I was able to use the Val() function to get workable results. Is there something similar that can be done for dates to do an expression conversion but still store it as a text field so that I can accomodate for the occasional string, "never" ?
There are ~25,000 records that are being imported so I don't want to simply do a search and replace the "never" string with a bogus date.
Thanks for any help!

I have field in my form and the entry is required. The data type is date. I need to keep the date type as date. My problem is if the date is not available, the user has to enter "Nor Available". Is there any way I can achieve this? What are the other option available to me? The reason is this record will be exported to a pdf form which requires the Date or the text "Not Available" in the specified pdf field.

Well I have been searching but have not exactly found the answer I need so:
I have a linked table in my database. One of the fields on the source table is a date field but the data type is Text. So there is data in the field that represents dates but they are formatted as text like this:
090506
101106
120506
I need the field data to behave as a date, any ideas? I can't change the source data type.
Then...at some point I want to produce a query that shows all records with a date earlier than the current days date...in pointers in the right direction on that will be appreciated also.
Thanks!

I have a text field called Notes - where we will add notes about the particular job. What I want to do is have it a locked field with a button 'Add Notes'. When clicked it will insert the date and the user name of the person and then let them type the notes. When they move to the next record - I want that field to be locked again.
I've got some of it down but still not right. I can get it so it inserts the date but it overwrites what is already there. How can I get it to just add the data - not overwrite? And I can't get it to lock when they move to the next record.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

I'm building a report that requires me to concatenate several fields plus additional words, etc. But not all of the fields are the same data type. I have the date formatted the way I want it in a date/time field in one table (dd mmmm yyyy), and I want to append that date into a text field in another table, maintaining the same format.
Now, when I do a normal append or update query, it appends as medium date format (dd-mmm-yy). If I change the field type in the original table from date/time to text, it also shows up in medium date format.
Any ideas on how to make this work, or other options for concatenating fields with different data types?
edit: I don't want to change the data type of the original field to text.

Hello, I'm working with SQL and databases in general for the first time, and was wondering: how would I select just the most recent entry for each device? my data looks [roughly] like this:
device1 data_1a 15.2.2000
device1 data_1b 15.2.2001
device1 data_1c 15.2.2002
device2 data_2a 15.2.2000
device3 data_3a 15.2.2001
device3 data_3b 15.2.2002
So what I'm looking for is:
device1 data_1c 15.2.2002
device2 data_2a 15.2.2000
device3 data_3b 15.2.2002
Thanks for any help you can offer!

I have created a table called - "Test"
The properties of the table is listed below
Table Name: Test
Field Name: ADMDAT2 (Text)
DISDAT2 (Text)
Operation Date (Date/Time)
I have written a query to populate a field where the Operation Date is between the ADMDAT2 and DISDAT2
Expr1: IIf([ADMDAT2] Is Null,"",IIf([Operation Date]>=[ADMDAT2] And [Operation Date]<=[DISDAT2],"Match"))
Unfornately it returns and ERROR message... I believe this may be because, the data type of the field, matching a Text with a Date/Time, I have rerun the query using a sample table where all the fields are Date/Time, and it work perfectly.
What i need help with how do i convert a text field into a Date/Time in a query?
So i can place that in the query before i populate the Test table. therefore it all should be date/time
thanks in advance

I've searched for this everywhere but I haven't yet found a solution, even though I'm sure it should be pretty simple.
I have 2 combo boxes: cboMonth, cboDay
and a text field: txtYear
cboMonth has values: Jan-Dec
cboDay has values: 1-31
After selecting the combo boxes and entering the year, I want the result to be displayed in a text box, with the format of Long Date.
How is this accomplished?
Thanks for any help!

I have a table ("tbl_idq_all") with a text field for product codes ("scode"), a date field (dd/mm/yyyy) and a quantity field ("po_qty"). This table therefore holds future receipts of stock for products.
What I am having trouble doing is create a running total of [po_qty] based on [scode] and [Date].
A good example is stock code 10254. This has a quantity of 40,032 arriving 01/06/2013 and a quantity of 30,096 arriving 01/09/2013.
Therefore the running totals should read:
scode | Date | po_qty | RunningTotal
10254 | 01/06/2013 | 40032 | 40032
10254 | 01/09/2013 | 30096 | 70128
As you can see from the attached DB I have 70128 repeated twice in the RunningTotal column.

I am having some difficulties with a Date/Time Field. I am importing a | delimted text file into a table and the Date Field is resulting in a Type Conversion Error.In the raw text file, the Date Field has the following Format (example): 01/03/2013 03:11 PM
My import Spec is as follows:
File Format: Delimited
Field Delimter: |
Language: English
[code]....
The only thing I can think of, is that the mix of Leading Zeros in the Time AND AM/PM is causing a problem. But, I do not see a way to address this with an import spec.The odd thing is that if I import the DateOpened Field as Text, THEN change the DataType to Date/Time AFTER import, then save the table, it recognized/converts the DateOpened Fields correctly.I'd LIKE to get the import spec correct (I have to update twice daily), But, barring that, if I could import as Text then build a Macro that would:
1) import text file(s)
2) change certain fields datatypes to Date/Time
3) Save Table(s)
That would suffice. I could then use VBS (and perhaps windows scheduler) to run the macro when needed.

I would like the "DateOfConfirmation" to populate with today's date when "SSurvDiagThisYear" is Confirmed.
The DateRecordCreated is a simple =Date() that populates when the record is entered into the table.
SSurvDiagThis Year is the case outcome - Pending, Probable, or Confirmed. It is possible that the case could be confirmed on the same day it was entered into the table but that is RARE.
I am hoping for the The DateOfConfirmation to capture the date the case is confirmed so that I can gather some duration between the case being opened to confirmed.

I am building an Access database for a client. It is an employee staffing database. With that being said they would like the ability to automatically populate the "T2PPCD" date field based on what is entered into the "Report Date" field. (Same table)
The date is the Monday after 180 days from the report date.
I already know how to get it to auto fill 180 days from the "Report Date" but I'm not sure how to tell it to give me the Monday after 180 days.

I've inherited a database into which the user (not me) is entering essentially the same Date data twice: field 1 contains 6/19/2014 and for field 2 they enter June-14 (the month and year from field 1).
I suspect there should be a way to derive and then reformat the display of field 2 based on the contents of field 1, such that the user only has to enter the first. Is this true? If so, how?
(I know there really is no need for the 2nd field, but existing reports and queries are built around it -- so for right now, I'm just trying to eliminate the duplicate data entry)...

I need to convert my text data to a number but when I convert using the VALUE function or use "format cells" to the numbers category, I loose the leading zeros. I need to keep them for sorting purposes.
What formula do I use?

I am having a database in access and i want to highlight particular text from nearby column to the next column. For example,
--GCCCAGGCCCAAGAATGTCGCCGT GGAGGACTGTCTGTACATCAACGTGTTCGTGCCACGGCCCAGGCCCAAGAATGTCGCCGTCATGCTGT
GGATCTTCGGGGGTGGCTTCTGACAAGCTATTGTGTTCGAAT ACACTGATT

GGACTGGTTT CAACGAATGAACGCTGTCCCTTCCACTGCTGGAACTTCCGACTCCTTGTTGCCTAGAATGTCGCCGTCATGC
The first column text it should take as query and then it should only search the adjacent cell and highlight that. While searching in the internet i came across a code also, But i dont know whether i can use that code or not.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Search]
(
@searchTerm nvarchar(100),
@style nvarchar(100) = 'font-weight:bold; background-color:yellow',
@maxLen INT = 100

I have a form where I would like to validate (restrict) choices in subsequent fields.
Example
Combobox choices are Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Space
In the form I have 4 fields = Material1, Material2, Material3, Material4. (all in same record on my table)
Basically I need the validation to not allow duplicates across the 4 fields.
something like....
[Material1] <> [Material2] or [Material3]or [Material4]
I am not sure of the proper syntax for the validation field in the Form Properties. Or if I am even putting it in the right place.
