Access VBA Dates

When running a date limited analysis of our data we found that is we chose a date such as 7th Feb 1997 to 7th Feb 1997 (ie one days orders) we got results for 2nd July 1997 (ie American date format), however if you used a date outside the 12 months ie Feb 13th 1997 it would use the English dates and return the right data. How do we get round this.

PS Can I get a certificate for this course

RE: Access VBA Dates

Hi Claire

Thanks for your question

This can be done by using a combination of datepart() functions, string cocatenation, and cdate functions to reorganise the date.
I will write a small procedure to solve this and will post it here later today or tommorrow

Hi Claire

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I have created the following function which converts the date into UK format. It should be called from the on click procedure where the variable returned by the calendar control should be set as it's argument.

Public Function DateConverter(USDate As String) As Date

Dim strMonth As String
Dim strDay As String
Dim strYear As String
Dim strDate As String

strDay = DatePart("d", USDate)
strMonth = DatePart("m", USDate)
strYear = DatePart("yyyy", USDate)

strDate = strDay & "/" & strMonth & "/" & strYear

DateConverter = CDate(strDate)


End Function


Regards

Stephen
