Jan 4, 2006I am in the process of changing over a text field to a memo field to generate more space (in 5 different databases :eek: ) Thanks to all the good info on several searches of this forum, I am pretty clear on how to do that.

Ms Access Converting Oracle's Number Field To Text
Jul 5, 2007Hi,
Can anybody help me ?
I've a case where ms access displays oracle's numeric field as text where msaccess is linked to oracle.The possible reason could be when we don't specify precision in declaring the filed in oracle table, default precision is 38 which ms access cannot hold. So, it(driver) converts this to text field.But this is with MSORCL32.dll(microsoft driver for oracle).Is there any other possible reason that will result this behavior?
The following are the configuration details:
1.Oracle 9i on Unix server.
2.MSAccess on Windows XP.
MSAccess holds linked data of Oracle server.
Thanks Inadvance.

I am importing a CSV file, one of the field in which contains times in the following format: 1200 (ie this is 12:00, th text file does not contain the : separator)
I want these to be recognised as time values by access, which at the moment only treats them as text. Is there any way i can run a query on this table to convert the numbers into times? I can do it in excel using concatenate to add in the :, but access does not have this function.

Date Field From Text Field
Jan 5, 2006We 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,

Query Date From DateTime - General Date Format Field.
Mar 10, 2006I have a date and time stamp in a Date/Time field of General Date format (3/1/2006 7:52:25 AM).
I wish to select query on the table's Date/Time field by date portion only (3/1/2006) and not include the time portion (7:52:25 AM) of the field.
Using this expression in the query's criteria - "Between [Enter Start Date: (MM/DD/YY Format)] And [End Date: (MM/DD/YY]" will not return the date ranges as desired without also typing in the full time string.
How can the date integer be parsed out and the query properly expression ed on the criteria field without using VB?

Mar 25, 2014In a date field is it possible for a date that is in the future to be hi-lighted in a different colour.
E.g. todays date is 25/03/14
So anything with todays date or previous would stay in black
24/03/14
25/03/14
but anything from 26/03/14 forward would be in red
26/03/14
Then will change to black when the 26th comes.
Queries :: Converting CSV File Into Text Format - Export Records With Specific Series And Date
Jun 7, 2015I have a CSV file and want to convert it in a text format with some filtered data and with some formatting. This is an everyday task for me. So I made a table and imported the data in to it by the command :
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "fo Import Specification", "fo", FileName:="C:UserswelcomeDesktopfo.csv", HasFieldNames:=True
Actually I have a column "SERIES", contains various series like "EQ", "BE", "DR", "BZ", "D1" and so on. And one more column with the dates having 4 / 5 current months dates and one next months date and one next to next month's date. And every date has got several thousand records.
now the issue is that : After importing these several thousand records, I want to export it but with a specific date and with a specific series.
The other thing is that, these dates change every month so if hard coded, the problem will occur the next month.
I use this code for export :
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "NewFnoSpec", "fnoquery", "C:UserswelcomeDesktopFO Output.txt", True
this code is working fine but when the month will change, the code won't work.
Can we have a date & series picker attached to this query, so it can export the records with the specified SERIES & DATE.
I tried putting a textbox on the form named TxtDate and in a Query ( Design mode ) under the date column, in criteria I have put [Forms]![Futures]![TxtDate] and after putting this line, the query becomes empty and no data is there.
Date Value In A Text Field Problem
Jun 23, 2006Hi, 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!
