Is there a way to change the date format to YYYYMMDD? When I try and format it, it's just going and literally printing YYYYMMDD.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to change MMDDYYYY to European format YYYYMMDD. I have this in my query:
"20" & Right([TABLE]![DATE],2) & Mid([TABLE]![DATE],3,2) & Left([TABLE]![DATE],2)
which gives me YYYYDDMM. Does anyone know to get the DD and MM switched so it reads YYYYMMDD?
Not so long ago, I saw somewhere a solution how to check if string is date in yyyyMMdd format (i.e. if it can be converted to date if written in such format). I can't find it anymore but I think is had something to do with DateTime.TryParse method but I can't get it to work. I can get it to work if string is in dd/MM/yyyy format, but dont' know how to make it with yyyyMMdd format. If I'm not mistaken neither of DateTime.TryParse method parameters is for assigning date format...

MyRow(1) = rs2.Fields("Field29").Value.ToString
rs2.Fields("Field29").Value has values like "YYYYMMDD" in a string.how can i convert a "YYYYMMDD" string to a needed date format like 'dd mmm yy' (or any format)
The file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.

Why doesn't CDate(integer) work where integer has format of YYYYMMDD ?and why won't this stupid site let me submit such a short question when I have nothing else to add except some waffle at the end
View 2 Repliesam trying to get the following code to work:
Dim testString As String
testString = cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
when doing so the code is being stoped and I get "InvalidCastException" error emssage:
Conversion from string "yyyyMMdd" to type 'Integer' is not valid.
If I do the following, then it works:
Dim testDate As Date
Dim testString As String
testDate = cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue
testString = testDate.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
This, returns the desired value: "20110103"
NB:
cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue.ToString returns: "03/01/2011 00:00:00"
So would it be possible that the problem comes from of the "time bit" : "00:00:00"?if, so is it the parsetime function which would allow to take into account only the time bit value of the combobox?

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to create an address bar, much like Google chrome's, where you can enter a url and it will navigate to it or enter just text and it will search Google etc.
I've been at this for a while Googling away, but I can't find a reasonable solution. I know I could look for things like: 'http' etc, but these come in an almost unlimited number of variations. I could also created a webbrequest to test its existence, but I think this could cause an unwanted slow down in the programs operations.

View 2 RepliesI have a dataset containing a datatable, and I enumerate all rows in that datatable. When trying to format a column in that row, I run into an exception. (Part of) the code is:
For Each dr As DataRow In ds.Tables("records").Rows
file = dr("timestamp").ToString("yyyyMMdd") & "~.wav"
Next
This results in the following error message:
Conversion from string yyyyMMdd to type Integer is not valid. (translated from a Dutch error message to the English equivalent)
dr("timestamp").GetType.FullName results in "System.DateTime", so I don't understand why I run into this exception, as for example Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd") results in "20091002", and "Now" is of the same type as dr("timestamp"), "System.DateTime" that is.
