Ms Access Insert Null Into Date Field
up vote 1 down vote favorite I have a table x with the following values of type Text: +-----------+ | dateValue | +-----------+ | 12/9/1906 | | 7/49/54 | | 27945 | +-----------+ I want to query this table and return the date equivalent of each string, or the original string and an error indicator if the string cannot be parsed to a date. I tried ms access iferror this: select iif(isError(cdate(dateValue)),dateValue&" isError",cdate(dateValue)) as parseDate from x which should return 7/49/54 isError for the invalid string, but that query instead returns: +-----------+ | parseDate | +-----------+ | 12/9/1906 | | #Error | | 7/4/1976 | +-----------+ Is there any way to handle the invalid date string to return the desired result?

You have a string in one row and a date in another. That isn't possible. You could do: select iif(isError(cdate(d

My computer's regional setting is "MM-dd-yyyy". I have ms access ms access application. and i want user to enter date in "dd/mm/yyyy" format only. when user enter 05/10/2010 (means 5th oct 2010) , access is not changing anything. it is ok. but, if user enters 30/10/2010 (means 30th oct 2010) then on the lost focus of date text box, it automatically changes as 10/30/2010. it should remain as 30/10/2010. can anybody tell me what is the solution? Plz note, i don't want to ms access date change the regional setting. Thanks and Regards, Prajakta Kulkarni.

I have tried numerous things, including changing regional setting through code and setting them back once the db was closed... The only true fix is to create an unbound control in which the user makes their entry and you then process it (perhaps DateSerial())to and insert it into a hidden bound control. You also then have to reverse the process in the Current Event. This way you can impose any format you choose independantly from the computer's regional setting. It is a little extra work, but it resolves the issue. The other approach, probably easier to setup, is to disable keyboard textual entry and force your users to use a calendar control to enter dates, and use the Format property to display it as you choose. This will also work reliably and get around the regional settings of your computer.
