Date/Time Field in Access 2000 - INSERT INTO ... syntax error

I am using Labview 6.1 Professional with the Database Connectivity Toolkit. When I execute this SQL Command "INSERT INTO PRODUCTION (Part, Passed, Date) VALUES ('Part#1', 2, '10/10/2003 10:10:10 AM')" I get a Run-Time Syntax Error. If I remove the Date Label and Date Value it works. What is the proper Format of the Date/Time Type Field in ACCESS 2000 for Labview 6.1 SQL? I have seen and tried all of the solutions already posted like MSG 1ZNAJHJ6.

Well, if it's any consolation handling dates is a pain regardless of which database you use. In any case, I created a table with the following definition:
CREATE TABLE testing
(item1 INTEGER,
item2 DATE)
I them did the following insert:
INSERT INTO testing
VALUES (1, '18/11/1953 04:20:00');
And everything worked fine. Note that in the date (my Bday, BTW) the format is DD/MM/YYYY followed by the time.
What exactly is the error you're getting? Can you post the exact text of the error message. Also, I ran my test using the examples that come with LabSQL--not the toolkit.
Mike...
Oops, just noticed something. You have a column name that is probibly a reserved word "Date". Try your insert as:
INSERT INTO PRODUCTION
VALUES
('Part#1', 2, '10/10/2003 10:10:10 AM')
If there is only those three columns and they the order the data appears is the same as the column order, you don't need the column list. If this works (and it should--I just tried it) I would only view it as a temporary patch. The column name should be changed.
This is also a good reason to not use the Access GUI to create tables. If you tried creating a table like that in SQL you would have gotten an error message. Learning to build tables in SQL code isn't hard and it adds an extra layer of error checking that the GUI apparently doesn't think is important.
If you're interested let me know and I can send you the info on a really good book on SQL...

Date time field will not bind over into XML data file

am using the Current Date field in a form that is supposed to give me the current date & time. In the Object, Value, I am using a "calculated - Read Only" , with Run-time property of Date and Time. WHen I view this as a PDF, the current datae & time display on the form as well as when I view the body pages, the {current date/time} is displayed in the actual field of the form. My only problem is I want to bind this so I can export the data to an XML data file, to import to an Access Database. WHen I use these settings, I do not have a "binding" tab to use. WHen I change vaule to "calculation script), it then pops up the binding tab and let's me export the field to the XML data file, but the data in that field is not comming over (the date & time). The field comes into the database inport, but is blank. What am I doing wrong..?? Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Well, I'm assuming that when you change it to a calculation script you see the date in the PDF and therefore have the script to set the value written properly. So, if you change the binding from None to Normal or an explicit binding the date will be exported in the data. If all of that is correct, then the most likely problem is the data format you are exporting is not a format that your database will accept.

SQL Toolkit -- problem searching Date/Time field in Access

I have got an application where I need to query a database (Access) between
two dates (usually the same date, a couple of hours apart). I have set up
the date field within Access as a 'General Date' but can't seem to get the
right format on the SQL query. I am always getting some error. I enclose
the date with {}, '', [], and () (and anything else I can think of) and I
still get a problem. It is now to the point where I think it might be a
problem with SQL Toolkit and Access working together.
I tried making the Date field into a string field (instead of a Date field),
but I can't search between time (I can search between dates, but not date
and time i.e. MM/DD/YY 00:00:00).
Any ideas?

Sorry, the database type is Access.
I just tried the following query SELECT * FROM ValveMeritData WHERE MeritTestDateTime >= '2006/05/01 13:24:28'
and SELECT * FROM ValveMeritData WHERE MeritTestDateTime >= '2006/05/01' (which gave a data mismatch error).
I am going to try the query in access now. I had pretty good success with other types of queries, just writing them in
Labview and testing.
Any other suggestions?

How to prevent an automatic fill in of the current date into a Date/Time Field

hi,
maybe i checked out a strange behaviour of the adobe designer. when i put a "normal" data/time field (with no data pattern, display pattern, etc.) on a form and then change (on the pdf preview tab) to the newly designed date field,i have to stay about 2 minutes on this field not filling it out.
after these minutes the current date is filled in automatically in the date/time field.
what can i do preventing that? any hints?
thanks in advance.

I don't have any info on timelines, all I can say is check back in future versions of Acrobat :(

How to prevent user to enter data in "Date/Time Field"?

Hi folks,
     Back after long time to the forums, where I get answers which are helpful in making me good at utilizing designer.
     I am trying to validate the "Date/Time Field" using JavaScript but couldn't get a proper RegEx expression for various invalid user input formats. If anyone can help me out in finding a proper script that would Great.
     My script grown bigger and bigger to accepting invalid dates, but felt like hardcoding. So, instead I decided why can't we prevent a user to enter data into "Date/Time Field" and use only calendar dropdown. Is there is a way to do this?
find my sample testing docment
https://acrobat.com/#d=mYXkrhO2txuEesCfmvxNXg
Thanks in Advance,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
I don't think there is a way of stopping the user from using the keyboard to enter a date. You can use the following script in the change event to stop them typing a date but they will still be able to paste a date in.
if (xfa.event.change.length === 1)
xfa.event.change = "";
This code works because if the date is selected from the calendar dropdown then the date xfa.event.change value will be the whole date and therefore longer than one character.
I couldn't access your sample but if you were to set an display picture for the date field to something other than date{YYYY-MM-DD} then a valid date will have a formattedValue that is different than the rawValue.

How to get calendar icon to show again when entering data in date/time field.

Hello,
First time posting on this site. I am fairly new to using SQL Server Express. I created a split-database in MS Access 2010 and have successfully migrated over the backend database to SQL Server Express. When I was using the FE forms in
Access, I use to be able to see a calendar icon where I could select the month and day in the date/time field.
I compiled the FE forms to binary format .accde so that I could distribute this to the users and they couldn't change my forms. After migrating the tables to SQL Server express for the BE, I am no longer able to see the calendar icon when I try to enter
in data in the date/time field. Same for the original .accdb file before the binary conversion to .accde.
How do I get the calendar icon back to show on the form when a user is entering in data? I appreciate any assistance I can get. Thank you!
Thai

Hello Cheer,
I don't believe the table changed when migrating from Access. I had two tables before the migration, one was for the SwitchBoard Manager and the other table was for the database table. I used the Switchboard to navigate to different menus, such
as the Main Form, Power Form, Server Form, etc. Let me know if I can provide any other information to help you narrow this down for me.
Thank you for your assistance.

How to compare Date in the TextField or DateTime with Date/Time field?

Hi All,
I am facing an issue with respect Date comparinson. I tried to look into entire discussions but failed to get the answer.
My issue is: I wanted to comparet Date/time field value with Date value which is in TextField.
The functionality of my form is:
I have dropdown list which lists the registered customer ids binded to XML Datasource. On selection of the customer id from the dropdown I am displaying customer registration date in the TextField or say Date/Time field as below code in dropdown change event.
RegistrationDetails.PurchaseEntry.txtRegDate.rawValue = regDataNode.CREATION_DATE.value; (this is TextField control)
In form I have an Date/Time field in which use will select the date of item purchase. In the validation part I want to make sure that, the purchase date selected in Date/Time field must be greater than the Customer Registraiton Date. I able to compare if the customer selects the date from two different Date/Time fields. But how to compare the dates which one is in Date/Time field and Date is in TextField?
I have tried using Num2Date and Date2Num with "YYYY-MM-DD" format to compare but not succeed!
Can you guys help me in this? Thanks in advance
Regards.

Hi,
Yes, I am able to display the date which I have assigned to the text box. In the message box it show the value as '31/05/2009', since in this format i am assigining the date in the text box.
Here is the code which I am assigning the value:
RegistrationDetails.PurchaseEntry.txtRegDate.rawValue = regDataNode.CREATION_DATE.value;
Do I need to change the format while assigning value in text box?
You have told that, you have attached your test form, nothing is the reply. Can you repost the file?
Regards.

Calculate one month prior to user entered date by a Date/Time field

Hi All,
I am currently pretty new to Live cycle and have no idea about Java scripting, i have been using this site a lot for my forms and have used the FormCalc for expanding tables and so on but this one is proving difficult. I am currently designing a form that requires a calculation of one month prior to a user entered date by a Date/Time field. I have looked at multiple posts on how to do this but none have worked (they are using the Date2Num).
Is anyone able to enlighten me please?
I currently have:
Date/Time field Date Due
Date/Time field Planned Date of Review
I need Planned Date of Review to be calculated to be 30 days prior to Date Due. How do I go about doing this? Is it incorrect to use a Date/Time field as the field type for the calculation?
Cheers
Brad

You can use FormCalc to compare the user input.
Put this script into the exit:Event of the date field.
if (Date2Num($.formattedValue, "MM/DD/YYYY") ne date()) then
$host.messageBox("The entered date is not todays date!")
endif

Problem with Date/Time field in Adobe LiveCycle

I am trying to create a form that has a check-in and check-out dates. I want the user to enter those dates and then have the form automatically compute how many nights the user intends on staying.
I have two fields, CHECKIN and CHECKOUT, set up as text fields. My third field, NIGHTS, has the following script to do the calculation:
var strStart = CHECKIN.rawValue
var strEnd = CHECKOUT.rawValue
if(strStart.length && strEnd.length)
var dateStart = util.scand("mmm d, yyyy",strStart);
var dateEnd = util.scand("mmm d, yyyy",strEnd);
var diff = dateEnd.getTime() - dateStart.getTime();
var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
var days = Math.floor(diff/oneDay);
this.rawValue = days;
else
this.rawValue = 0;
NOW...this is fine if the user inputs a four-digit year. If not, it's trouble. SO, what I want to do is change the CHECKIN and CHECKOUT fields to the date/time field so they select the date off the pop-up calendar.
When I make the changes, I can't get the script to work for the NIGHTS field.
CAN ANYONE HELP THIS NEWBIE?

Make sure the format of the date strings provided by the calendar is what you are expecting. Or use the "formattedValue" for the input strings.

Distinct count on date/time field...

Hi,
I am trying to a distinct count on this formula that takes a date/time field and converts it to a date in order to get a distinct count of dates. However, it's not working... say, if I have two dates are the same (the times may be different), it's counted twice. Any suggestions? I tried to convert this to a string thinking the evaluation may change, but no dice. Thanks!!
if not isnull({AVAILABILITY.PAT_ENC_CSN_ID}) then
cstr(cdate({AVAILABILITY.SLOT_BEGIN_TIME}))
else

You can use the following formula...
DateAdd("d", DateDiff("d", #1/1/1900#, {TableName.YourDateTimeField}), #1/1/1900#)
This will set each date value to 12:00 am of it's respective day...
So 8/16/2010 3:01:20PM would become 8/16/2010 12:00:00AM
Now you can group on this formula field and then simply do a count on the date at the appropriate group level.

Automatically displaying date and time in a date/time field on form initialize

Good day all;
I am trying to have the current date and time automatically be generated in a “date/time” field when the form is opened.
I went through the forum and found an entry from Srini “ xfa.host.messageBox("" + Date());” . Of course this brought up a system message box with the date and time.
I then tried “DateTimeField1.rawValue = (“”+date())… This also gave me a system message box with the date and time…
Please let me know where I am going wrong
Chomp

Found the answer... And yes... in was in the "help" section... What can I say I was making it a lot more crazy than I needed to.
You can use a date/time field to automatically show the current date by using the Runtime Property option in the Value tab of the Object palette.
When using a current date field, the date updates to reflect the system’s current date each time a user opens the form.
1.
In the Library palette, click the Standard category and drag a Date/Time Field object onto the form design.
2.
In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Calculated - Read Only from the Type list.
3.
Select the Runtime Property option.
4.
View the form in the Preview PDF tab.

Date/Time field format not wysiwyg

I have a date field in my form that I formatted as m/d/yyyy hh:mm. I thought that because it formats that field in that way my script would get passed down that way however it is not. I want to manipulate it so the value is in the format I want it to be....
I enter this in the date/time field: April 1, 2011 1:40PM
When I click out of the field and I see: 4/1/2011 13:40
Then I have a script that uses this field to make the file name but because I have a comma in there it will not save, if I take the comma out it will save. So the main question is how do I format my field to pass down the value that I am seeing not the value that I am typing in. You will notice I have a replace in there but I can't account for the comma because it reads it as part of the syntax.
// Get the field value
var dtentered = getField("datetime").value;
//replace any odd characters that will not allow the file to save
var fdt = dtentered.replace(/[!@#$%^&*()+=|\:;"'<>?/{}]/g,"_");
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/WO Completed/";
// Determine the full name and path
var fp = fldr + fdt + ".pdf";

Thanks for the response...I'm not sure that I understand what you mean back-slash...I went ahead and did this but now it is giving me an odd file name
// Get the field value
var dt = getField("datetime").value;
var mydt = escape(dt);
//replace any odd characters that will not allow the file to save
var fdt = mydt.replace(/[!@#$%^&*()+=|\:;"'<>?/{}]/g,"_");
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/WO Completed/";
// Determine the full name and path
var fp = fldr + fdt + ".pdf";
Returns a file name as
April_201_2C_202011_201_3A40PM.pdf
I was looking more for
4_1_2011_13_40.pdf
or
April_1_2011_1_40PM.pdf

For custom tables should we use UTC for date/time fields

A general question.
Can anyone confirm that SAP does seem to be moving towards storing date/time in UTC format?
We're building custom tables and we're making it a standard to store date/time fields in UTC format.
Regards,
Lavaughn

Hello Lavaughn,
I can not speak for SAP, but from my personal experience TimeStamps are the state of the art to store time date info in db tables. Even with date/Time fields a conversion to the local timezone is necessary. Of course you can reuse your db definition on dynpros. But since UI and business logic will be divided anyway this is also not really a valid point.
Best Regards
