Problem with quotes in yyyy

Ester Grande

Hi, i have been following your video all along, but I have a problem.
When in the query I write my calculated field

OrdiniAnno: DatePart("yyyy";[DataOrdine]) it automatically changes into

OrdiniAnno: DatePart("""yyyy""";[DataOrdine])

Even if I delete the extra quotes, it just put it back and of course the function doesn't work.

It happens with yyyy and ww, for the others access put a \ before the single letter.

Basically it works only with "q" and "m".

Thanks

remove the ; and replace with , that will fix it. V/r Juan

Thanks Juan for your reply. Unfortunatly I had already tried but it doesn't work. If I put , instead of ; I get a syntax error with the , highlighted. Any other suggestion?

I had to build a tale with the field DataOrdine. Added about five deferent dates, not sure check the table and spelling I made a query and used this code OrdiniAnno: DatePart("yyyy",[DataOrdine]) but it worked for me so I can't think of what may be causing your error. last thought is the field a date field if not you mat need convert with CDate function V/r Juan

Thanks again Juan, table and spelling are correct, besides if they weren't correct neither "q" would work. Date field is a date

You may need to use DatePart("aaaa"; ...) since Italian date format string is gg/mm/aaaa or g/m/aa (giorno, mese, anno = day, month, year) instead of dd/mm/yyyy or d/m/yy. Your Windows language and regional settings determine these formats. They also determine whether to use ";" or "," as separators.

Interesting! V/r Juan

Thanks Kevin. It worked. I didn't think of using italian in the code because it is all in english. That is very weird, but thanks again
