I'm based in the UK and I'm developing an MS Access 2016 database for an American client.
How can I change the language settings for this database only and not Access in general so, for example in table design view field format options for date appear appear as mm/dd/yyyy, mm/dd/yy etc rather than dd/mm/yyyy, dd/mm/yy?
I know I can format the data post-hoc using SQL or VBA but I'd prefer to set the behaviour as default at the design stage to limit the potential for error.
Many thanks.
Update, here's the options currently presented for the field format:
You can set the Format property of table fields and textboxes to: mm/dd/yyyy
But that will not change the behaviour of, say, DateValue which still will read a date string like "6/7/2016" as 2016-07-06 using your Windows settings.
So the real answer is that you can not. And neither should you need it - if you don't apply custom formats, your database will display dates as m/d/yyyy when reaching your American client.
If you want to see your application in action, install a virtual machine with US settings, and test your application in this environment.

I'm Working with SSRS Report in CRM Then I have problem about DateTime Parameter before run report below.
First, I choose date from Datetime Picker below
Then TextBox show
In fact It's should show Only date But why it's show Date & Time
And after i Choose anything in parameter section Parameter always refresh and I surely I set automatic determine in .rdl file (from my experience its should not refresh)
Second, When I choose first date of month
TextBox show
Its show.
8-Jan-15
So My Question is.
Why Text Box show Invalid value.
Why its always refresh when i choose paremeter.
And How to fix it.
Thank you.
(I think I not happen for .rdl file)
I don't know CRM but in SSRS I would say
This seems to be a bug in CRM with using other date formats: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/138318
Parameters refresh in case other parameters are dependent on the previous parameter.
You can't fix the refresh, you can try changing your system date format but that's not a good fix. You can try this:

I am using my Windows machine in English, and when i looked at the MsSql DB, my date time is in mm/dd/yyyy format.
But i want this format in dd/mm/yyyy.
There is no problem about datepicker that i am using, i can change the input type, but unless i change my culture, i am not able to insert my date fields.
I have already tried to put culture tag into my web.config but still i am not able to insert the date as 29/2/2014. It is accepting only 2/29/2014.
What is the best way to resolve this problem without depending the server language ?
I'm working with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010. The data is in a SQL Server 2005 database. The field is a datetime field, within the database/table. It has both date and time in it. But my report refuses to see that field as anything other than a date field. Huh??? According to this article on C# Corner, there should be a Date, a Time and a Date And Time tab when customizing the display. No there isn't; the only data type tab I see, when I try to customize it, is Date.
So, how do I get the date and time to show up from a datetime field returned by the stored procedure, when CR for VS 2010 only wants to treat it as a Date field???
We finally found the solution. The report I'm working with is really old. It was started by someone over 10 years ago, using who knows what version of Crystal Reports was around then. My colleague decided to start a whole new report and drag the field first from the table, and then from the stored procedure that's used for the report, onto the new report. Well, the data type was now DateTime! The best we can figure is the original .rpt file must not have had a DateTime data type (that field in the table has been a DateTime for 15+ years). We even discovered that creating a new report based upon this existing report, doesn't resolve the issue; it still sees the field as a Date data type only. So we've got to create a new report and start over from stratch. Frankly, pretty awful to do, just for 1 field in the report, but oh well.
This shows you how to set CR to set how it interprets DateTime as either Date or DateTime:
SAP Community Network Issue
I am using asp.net and mysql. In Rdlc report i can't able to display the Date.
First of all it gives an error Like Can't able to convert mysql date to system.date. so i add Allow Zero Datetime=true; in connection string. now the report shows...
But its display #Error in the Report column.
DataSet Name is - mcubicDataSet.xsd
DataDable Name is - fo_reserv
Preview Data in VS2010 : -
Rdlc report :-
There are two instances when this happened to me, and 3 solutions
The rdlc report is bound to a dataset that is generated by Visual Studio through your MySql connector. Sometimes the dataset that is created has date columns with the MySqlDateTime instead of the default System.DateTime.
To see this Open Your Report.rdlc, then view report data (Ctrl+Alt+D) to see the dataSet, right click for properties then check the datatypes in the columns.
Go to the file that represents the data source where the dataset comes from and open the designer file in the coding window. In my case mine is called pos_dbDataSet.xsd, with a designer file called pos_dbDataSet.Designer.cs Once you open it you can do a string replacement (Ctrl + H) on the date dataTypes find: MySql.Data.Types.MySqlDateTime relpace with: System.DateTime .
Be careful to Replace all in the Current Document ONLY. Though this change may not refrect on your report dataset, the report should run.
2. Use the DataSource Configuration Wizard to rebuild the DataSource/Datasets.
(Less likely) The rdlc report uses the date formats of your operating system, hence there might be a conflict between the MySql format and the OS format. What resolved the issue for me was changing my datetime formats on the Calender or Region settings of my computer to better match the database formats. I was using UK formats and changed to US formats.

Change the fieldtype in database from datetime to text . this error occours because of fieldtype mismatch .

RDLC - "String Not Recognized As A Valid DateTime" Error
(2 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I know this is an age-old question but I'm not exactly new to it and I haven't found an answer which helps me so far!
I've got an ASP.NET site which displays data from an SQL Server 2005 database. At the top of the page are 'Date From' and 'Date To' textboxes which are used to filter the data shown beneath.
The data is displayed using an SqlDataSource, and the two dates are passed as parameters to a Stored Procedure. The textboxes display the dates and accept input in UK date format (dd/MM/yyyy) and it works fine.
Now I've added a new page with exactly the same setup, displaying slightly different data. In the backend I created a new Stored Procedure by copying and pasting my original one, it's almost identical. And yet on this page I get errors with my dates because they're being read as MM/dd/yyyy, meaning that today's date, for example, 15th August 2011, is passed as 15/08/2011 and isn't a valid date.
I've checked over everything and I can't understand why this should work on one page and not another, especially when I've basically just copied all of the original code and tweaked it slightly. Can anyone suggest anything I can check that I might not have thought of?
The text boxes are strings, which are in the thread local which is set from the browser (langauges).
Convert them to aa DateTime object first, using a local aware transformation, then write the dateTime object to the server. NEVER (!) deal with strings to sql server unless you format them in ISO independent form (2011-08-17 23:52:11).
But in general, ASp.NET will show dates, times, numbers in the local langauge of the browser. Either turn that off, or deal with it. It is nice for the user. So, check locales - user, server process. What is the thread current locale?
You need to use the SQL convert in stored procedure like:
convert(varchar, #yourdateParameter, 103) for format dd/mm/yyyy
or
convert(varchar, #yourdateParameter, 101) for format mm/dd/yyyy
Hope this helps.
