View 4 RepliesI am attempting to import data in a batch from an Excel Worksheet to a Sql Server database. Everything works except for the one date field in the spreadsheet. The date returned is off by four years from the value in the spreadsheet. Example: The Excel sheet has a date 10/24/2010 14:18, but when I look at the column in my query, the date is 10/23/2006 2:18. This pattern, 4 years and 1 day earlier, is repeated for every row in the worksheet.
The Excel column comes to me as a custom type, formatted m/d/yyyy h:mm. I receive this from an outside vendor and having them change the column is not going to be my simplest solution.
For what it's worth, the relevent part of the query is:
Select [Date Created] From MyWorksheet

Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
Code
sqlstr = "select excute_main.*,cycle_main.cust_id,customers.name2 from excute_main,customers,cycle_main where date2 between '" & Format(MaskedTextBox1.Text, "MM-dd-yyyy") & "' and '" & Format(MaskedTextBox2.Text, "MM-dd-yyyy") & "' and excute_main.main_id=cycle_main.id and cycle_main.cust_id=customers.id"
Title pretty much says it all. How do I format the date of a dateandtimepicker to insert it into the SQL date datatype?
View 20 RepliesI'm creating a program in VB.net that does the following:At a high level I receive a file in email, put the attachment in a monitored folder, import the text file to excel, format the excel, and then email the excel file to a list of recipients.
Here is my plan:
Completed: Outlook VBA to monitor all incoming email for specific message. Once message is received drop attached .txt file in a specific network folder.
Completed: (VB.net) Monitor folder, when text file is added begin processing
Not Complete: (VB.net) Import text file to Excel
Not Complete: (VB.net) Format Excel Text file.(add in a row of data,format column headers with color/size, add some blank columns, add data validation to some of the blank columns that allow drop down selections)
Completed: (VB.net) Save file.
Completed: (VB.net) Send file to list of recipients.
Obviously the items above that are not complete are the bulk of the work, but I wanted to get some advice on what some of you think would be the best way to approach something like this. The import and formatting of the file are causing me some problems because I just can't decide what would be the most efficient way to do this.
The way stated above. Import to excel -> format Having a template excel that contains all of the formatting already done for me and attempting to transition the data to this document (no clue if/how I can do this). Is it even feasible? Have the template already created and then import the text file to a new excel file, then transition that data to the excel template?
Something I thought about, in terms of formatting the document, was to record a macro of me doing all of the formatting that I'm going to need and then attempt to convert that macro into my vb.net code, but I'm not sure if that will work. I will need to verify that the text file comes in the EXACT format every time correct?
how I can ensure that conversion of a date to a string and a string to a date will give me the same date format.
For example:
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim d As Date = Date.Now
[code].....
I'm actually only interested in the date part as the label text shows so f is more than I want.But also, the day and month are reversed.
[URL]..a good way to create Excel files without using Ms Excel,but this is C# source code,I used [URL]..to convert from C# to VB.NET,but after conversion There are some strange errors :

Error22Empty character literalc:BBBXLSExportDemoXLSExportDemoExcelDocument.vb1633XLSExportDemo
I'm coming to the conclusion that the things I want to do in a database are better done if I run a conversion code from Excel to Access, do mighty things in Access, then have the option of converting back to Excel to distribute elsewhere. I'm already familiar with using Access and the code I keep finding in threads almost always refers to .mdb files. Below is a conversion that does not seem to work (button2). I'm trying to do this through ADO with OleDb connections. If I can convert to Access much will make sense.
Public Class Form1
Private Adapter As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()

I am an Australian user so use date format dd/mm/yyyy...my frmMain has a list box that retrieves a list of date values from the access db and displays them in the correct format (15/12/2000 - dd/mm/yyyy). When I update the DB using that same date the date format becomes reversed (ie interprets as 12/15/2000 - mm/dd/yyyy). [code] I believe the problem is something to do with the fact I am enclosing my date in my code with #'s and that somewhere between visual studio and access, the dates are getting flipped. [code]

View 8 RepliesI am trying to convert text in a text box (txtEventDate.Text) to a date type in a structure: ThisEvent.EventDate (declared as date). The text in the textbox is of the form: 05/18/1927 (i.e. May 18th, 1927) and after looking long and hard thru the forums attempting several different things, like:
'ThisEvent.EventDate = CDate(Format("#" & txtEventDate.Text & "#", "mm/dd/yyyy"))
'ThisEvent.EventDate = Date.Parse(txtEventDate.Text & "12:01:00 AM")
'Date.TryParse(txtEventDate.Text, ThisEvent.EventDate)
The code is commented out because none of them convert the string to a date value (I know a date does not have a format and I have looked thru the MSDN). How can I stay logged and composing a thread past some arbitrary time limit that forces a re-login?
