hi Frnds!

   I've a project which was connected with Oracle Database. But now I connected it to the MS Access but when I run the programme I'm getting Run Time Error:


-[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Undefined function 'to_char' in expression.-


I'm using the statement here:


rs.open "select sum(COLUMNNAME) from TABLENAME where to_char(DATE_FIELD_NAME, 'mon-yyyy') = 'Feb-2006'",con,....


Can someone help me how can we raise date_field from Access with this format?

Thanks in Advance.

hi there...

there is no to_char function in access.. try with the format functions (work the same as in VB)

Thanks Gonzalo,

    I know about the VB's Format function but i wanted to convert this through ACCESS DATABASE. So is there really nothing function in access to do this.


Thanks again to reply.

Hi dpkbahuguna,

This error occured because of syntax changes in Oracle and Access. If you have designed the application properly, you can use a different dll to Access database or else Write 2 sql statements for oracle, check the provider and select the SQL statement according to the provider.

hi there..
maybe i explain myself wrong. in access use the same function, Format works in access too.

Thanks Nalla & Qbianchi,

     Now I got the solution through Access's Format function.

     One more thing I use [Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0] Provider. How can I know that which provider is installed in my computer & how can I upgrade it.

Thanks....

Hi dpkbahuguna,
   I seems you are going to maintain 2 sources for Oracle and Acces. This will make your life difficult.

   You are the one who's going to install the provider(Oracle and Access). So when you are distributing the application use INI file or registry to save the provider. and use a encrypt/decrypt method if you have any concerns about security. according to the provider, select the sql statement written to support Oracle OR Access.
