I am located in the NorthEast US. My problem is properly storing a string in European date format (today is 23/1/2012).
For example the string '12/1/2012' is stored as as December 1, 2012 not January 12, 2012.
How can I dimension a DateTime variable to store the European date string properly?
I have a datatable which loads data from an Excel Spreadsheet. One of the columns in the Excel SpreadSheet was of type "Date/Time" in which date values are stored. Now I appended the datatable with three new rows and I wanted to store string values in these rows using the code below. However due to the fact that one of the columns are date/time type, an error is generated as date/time column does not accept string value. I have two questions
a. Is it possible to store string value in date/time DataColumn?
b. Is there a remedy to this situation? [code]

I having a problem converting a string into the date format I need. An example of the string I'm trying to convert would be 215056081909. I would like to convert that string into 08/19/09 21:50:56.The code listed below is what I'm trying to use for the conversion process. When I run the code I'm getting the error below and I'm pretty sure it's because my string has the time portion in military (24 hour) time.
Error:
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException was unhandled
Message="Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length"
ParamName="length"

View 2 Repliesi have a string "07.03.2009 17.06.00" that i want to convert to datetime. i have tried
DateTime.ParseExact(Me
.Text, "MM.dd.yyyy HH.mm.ss"
, New
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB"
, True
))
When I looked at the database record, the datetime saves like this: 4/6/2012 04:42:28 PM
because I've save it using dbtype.string
Now, I'm getting the date only, not including time, this is my code:
Private Sub getpapererror(ByVal ddate As String)
Dim sqlstr As String = "select * from perror where date(ddate) = $xddate"
Dim sqlcmd As New SQLiteCommand(sqlstr, mycon)
[Code].....
I Have this date "27/03/1985" and because it starts with days i can't convert it to datetime.
View 2 RepliesI've a scenario where I've to move data from a Oracle Table to a SQL Server table. The column in Oracle is Timestamp(6) 6 being the precision. Now I cannot send the Oracle Data in string format. I pull the data straight from the Oracle Table, so cannot format it on oracle side. What I can do is format the data using VB6.Format to make it suitable for SQL Server DateTime. I'm doing this for Oracle Date to SQL Server Datetime. Can something similar be done for timestamp and Datetime.

In my DateTime Now is:6/13/2012 01:27:57 AM
but, when I execute this function, it always say:"Date has been manually modified, Please Set to Valid DateTime" But, DateTime Now is NOT lessthan the Date from my Database. What's wrong?
This is the code, please correct it,

From what I can tell Date and DateTime have the same functionality. Is there a reason why I would want to use one instead of the other?
View 3 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?
With XP set to a language such as Spanish (Spain), the VBA-in-Excel function "Excel.Version" returns the text string "11.0" (not "11,1"). It does not respect the language setting.
"CLng(Excel.Version)" then produces the value "110" (wrong!), perhaps because CLng respects the language setting and is looking for a comma instead of a period.
The work-around is easy. But I need to know if switching to another language requires a setting that my client in Spain missed, or is this just a bug.
If it is a bug, is the problem limited to this one function (Excel.Version), or are there other functions that return values in text format that are affected?
