How can I read the data type of a field in an MS Access database

I need to be able to determine if a field in an Access database is of a certain data type, and if it isn't, to change it to what it should be.
I can't seem to find any way of reading the data type of any field in any table - can anyone give me a metod of getting this info?
Thanks
..Bob

Does <cfdbinfo> work for Access DBs?
You might be better off asking this on a MS Access forum. It's more of an Access issue than a CF one.

PIB. I want to read the data from the GPIB after the operation complete. I am using *opc? command, which should set the status register bit after the completion of the operation, but this is not working. How to know that the Operation is complete"-Thanks.The NI-488 global status variables ibsta, ibcnt, and iberr is what you are looking for. Look into the 4882 help file for details. Also NI-Spy, http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/nispy.htm, is a good debug util. There is a website that lists common GPIB error codes and solutions. You may check there for some things to try. You'll find the link at ni.com > Support > Troubleshooting > Installation/Getting Started > GPIB, titled "GPIB Error Codes and Common Solutions".
You could find a driver for this instrument at http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/default.htm . If it's not listed there, it leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/
We develop dri
vers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:

Can we change the data type of a field based on the value of the field

HI Gurus,
My Requirement is as below -- Could you please guide me
in the Printable Adobe form -- for ex - as usual for dates fields in the Object Pallette the object type is a date/time field and for quantity/currency fields corresponding fields are taken
now in case the either the date, quantity or currency is initial in place of displaying 0.00 or empty date we need to display N/A (Not Applicable)
for this I would like to change the data type of the field
to put it simply --
we need to change the data type of date field from DATE&TIME to Char type to hold N/A or Quantity field to Char field to hold N/A
how can we realize this in SAP adobe forms
Thanks in Advace
Ramchander Rao.K

Hello Ramchander,
     You cannot change the data type of the field at run time in Adobe forms because the type of field you choose at the time of design level is associated with the data type itself.
If you want to achieve your requirement, then your main idea should be to set the data type as CHARACTER itself while designing the field in the adobe form itself. CHAR field will comfortably hold the value of Calculation/amount field, Currency field, Amount, Date, Time HHMMSS, Unit Accuracy, Currency key, Floating point number, Numeric text, Client, Language and many other data types.
After designing the field as TEXT field in Adobe form you have two options.
Option 1:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms.
Suppose the name of the field is TEXTFIELD1, then write the Javascript code on this field in Initialize event as below.
if ( this.rawvalue == null )
     this.rawvalue = "N/A";
If the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
Option 2:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms. Do the formatting part in ABAP itself. It will increase the performance. Avoid Javascript as much as possible.
Suppose you have a DATE variable l_dats of type DATS. Then take another variable l_date of type CHAR. Then write the below ABAP code.
MOVE l_dats TO l_date.
IF l_date IS INITIAL.
     l_date = 'N/A'.
ENDIF.
Bind the l_date to the TEXT field in the form.
Even in this case, if the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
But I will suggest you to use Option 2 of keeping the AMOUNT, QUANTITY, DATE, TIME fields etc as CHAR or TEXT fields in Adobe form and do the required formatting in ABAP itself.

How can i Read the Data from such Excel files?

Dear All,
Here I am attaching an excel file in which all the datat cells have more than one data, can anybody tell me, how to read from such kind of excel files?
Thanks in Advance & Happy New Year,
Rujuta

Greetings Ruju,
Here is what I do to read such a file:
I first save the Excel file (xls) as CSV file (which is easier to handle: Comma Seperated Values) .. Open the file using Excel and save it CSV.
Then using the code attached I get all these values in a string array.
Hope this helps

How can I read the data from PS/2 port in order to store timing of mouse click?

I am using LabView 5 and later.

Another method would be to use an event. The event would start a timer, or store a timer value based on the event. Of course, this is only available in LabVIEW 6.1, so you would have to upgrade.
The only possible issue with this is that you would have to deal with the resolution of the system clock, which isn't that good in Windows systems.
Let us know some specifics, and we may be able to help more. It would help to know why you are doing this, or what your exact requirements are (i.e. timing precision, what you are trying to time the mouse click with, etc.)

How can I Cache the data I'm reading from a collection of text files in a directory using a TreeMap?

How can I Cache the data I'm reading from a collection of text files in a directory using a TreeMap? Currently my program reads the data from several text files in a directory and the saves that information in a text file called output.txt. I would like to cache this data in order to use it later. How can I do this using the TreeMap Class? These are the keys,values: TreeMap The data I'd like to Cache is (date from the file, time of the file, current time).

I don't understand your question.
If you don't know how to use TreeMap why do you think a TreeMap is the correct solution for what you want to do?
If you are just asking how to use TreeMap then there are PLENTY of tutorials on the internet and the Java API provides the methods that area available.
TreeMap (Java Platform SE 7 )
Are you sure you want a map and not a tree instead?

You want to start with the driver
In case you do not know it, you can do the driver search in LabVIEW from Tools>Instrumentation>Find Instrument Drivers. You might also want to bookmark the Instrument Driver Network for information on what a driver is and how to use it.

How can I read the PXI-Chassis-Type (LabWindows/CVI)?

How can I read the PXI-Chassis-Type?
I use in different test-stands different PXI/SCXI-Chassis for the same project. For example: Some test-stands have a PXI/SCXI-1052-Chassis, others have a PXI-1033 and a SCXI-1000 Chassis. Because I have to use different DIO-Ports (Ports 0.0, 0.1... are reserved for internal communication between the 1033 and the 1000-Chassis) I want to read the used devices.
I think one way is to use the registry-entries, but I'm not sure...
My current LabWindows/CVI- version is 8.5.1.
Thanks for your ideas!

How can I change the date format in Reminders and in Notes?

How can I change the date format in both Notes and Reminders? Preference on Imac and Settings in IOS do not allow me to change the format in those 2 apps.
I Like to see 10oct rather than 10/10, as an example.

pierre
I do not have Mavericks or iOS - but the first thing I would do is reset the defaults - I'll use Mavericks as an example
From If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support
OS X Yosemite and Mavericks
    Open System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Language & Region.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Click the Dates tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click the Times tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click OK.
    Quit the app where you were seeing incorrect dates or times displayed.
    Open the app again, and verify that the dates and times are now displayed correctly.
Then customize to taste - OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
Change the language and formats used to display dates, times, numbers, and currencies in Finder windows, Mail, and other apps. For example, if the region for your Mac is set to United States, but the format language is set to French, then dates in Finder windows and email messages appear in French.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Language & Region.
    Choose a geographic region from the Region pop-up menu, to use the region’s date, time, number, and currency formats.
    To customize the formats or change the language used to display them, click Advanced, then set options.
    In the General pane, you can choose the language to use for showing dates, times, and numbers, and set formats for numbers, currency, and measurements.
    In the Dates and Times panes, you can type in the Short, Medium, Long, and Full fields, and rearrange or delete elements. You can also drag new elements, such as Quarter or Milliseconds, into the fields.
    When you’re done customizing formats, click OK.
    The region name in Language & Region preferences now includes “Custom” to indicate you customized formats.
To undo all of your changes for a region, choose the region again from the Region pop-up menu. To undo your changes only to advanced options, click Advanced, click the pane where you want to undo your changes, then click Restore Defaults.
To change how time is shown in the menu bar, select the “Time format” checkbox in Language & Region preferences, or select the option in Date & Time preferences.
Here's the result AppleScript i use to grab the " 'Short Date' ' + ' 'Short Time' " to paste into download filenames - works good until I try to post it here - the colon " : " is a no-no but is fine in the Finder
Looks like iOS Settings are a bit less robust
- Date/Time formats are displayed according to 'tradition' of your region > http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iPad245ed123

How can I log the data transmission of my switch in a file to analyze the quality of my communication channel?

How can I log the data transmission of my switch in a file to analyze the quality of my communication channels?

A lot depends on what type of switch you have and what kind of communication channels you're asking about.
There are several Cisco tools (e.g., "ip sla", SNMP-queried values, show commands etc.) that can give useful information.
If you give us some more information we can help more specifically.

How can i check the data Of the phone and repar it

Thank you jeremy to replaying me , i forget to informe you,i already initialyze the phone, i am now how can i chek the data data of phone and repar the missing data(Read,write)
The data are Numbers.
i am new in Labview someone can help me withe sample.

I do this type of thing for a living, so I am restricted (by contract) in what I can say. Therefore this answer will be sufficiently general to help you get started but without doing the work for free.
Here goes;
You will have to find out at least three SETS of details.
1) Find out what physical interface to the phone is. By this I mean what type of connector do you need to plug into the phone, What type of signals are transfered back and forth, and how they are used.
2) Determine the protocol used. This is the actual commands and response that can be sent to the phone and are returned by it. Get all of the details.
3) Determine the what functionality is support by the phone that is usefull to you. This would be things liked, "How do
I get a list of all the numbers", how do I modify a number", etc.
I hope this helps,
Ben
