Exporting txt files

message from len on 6 May 2004
I am having an issue with exporting a date field to text.
The date field in access is set to mm/dd/yyyy but that is
for display only. when exporting the date I get the date
and time.
How can I export only the date. mm/dd/yyyy?

You could create a Query of your data and export from that. In your query,
JustDate: DateValue([MyDateTimeField])

Either create a query to typecast the field using DatePart or Format for the
export - or -
create a export spec & set the date format (advanced) & use that when
exporting

You can use a query and format the field
Format([YourDateField],"MM/DD/YYYY")
