Hi
I'm very new to Access, so please be gentle
I have imported a appointment database that I need to analyse, however the Date & Time data within the table has been written as;
Date: 20051220 - which I would like to read dd/mm/yyyy (20/12/2005)
Time: 800 - which I would like to read as hh:mm (08:00)
I would like to produce a report of all the queries, i.e. longest appointment, shortest etc... but display them in the correct Date/Time format.
So how should I go about this?
I cannot alter the imported table in anyway.
1. Can I produce a mirror like table of the existing table, that automatically use the correct Date/Time format?
2. Can I alter the values within a query?
3. Can I alter the final output in the Report?
What is the best way to tackle this?
