I am new at access and I have to change the date in my paper to be "short
date" and I have no clue what I am doing...this is the last part of my paper to turn in for college and I am doing it online so there is not much help I can get other than online.. I already have the table done..but I can retype it if necessary but I just need to change the date format for that table to be "short date". Thanks |

The format of a date field is controlled in the reports, forms, or queries.
The entry is stored in the table as an integer that represents the date. If you wish to change the way the date displays on a report or form, use the control's "Format" property and set it to "Short Date". You could also add an unbound control and put something like the following in it... =Format([SomeFieldName],"Short Date") -- Rick B "Shana" wrote in message ...

Go into the table in design view. Select the row with the date. At the
bottom of the page you will see "format" change the drop down to short date. Save and view your table.

It has nothing to do with binary numbers. Format changes whatever is being
formatted into a string, and sorting as a string, 10 is less than 2. If you need ShortDate for display purposes, you can either sort on an unformatted version of your date field (you don't have to make it visible in the query's recordset), or you can format it as yyyy-mm-dd. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "yousefi" wrote in message ...
