I am trying to add two feilds to an access db using the insert record behaviour but when I submit the page falls over.
If I add the price only without the date baing included in the insert behaviour all is fine.

I think I must have a problem with the date format.

The two fields are data and price.

The access db date field is set to shortdate but when I put the data in the text box as mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy or any other I have tried it does not work.

Any ideas anyone.

Thanks

i usually have my date fields set like so..

field type : date/time
default value: date()

so it will grab the date by default on insert,

no messing , using formats, this can be done in dreamweaver or when your doing your code.

The problem is that I cannot use date() as i do not want to add the current date. It is for a holiday booking site and the date is the departure date.

Thanks

Russell

Russell

in that case

i'd build the departure date as 3 seperate fileds.
departure_day
departure_month
departure_year

and have them select a date from a drop down like on all the other holiday sites.

one thing to check is in your code, dw, inserts a RunatServer DoDateTime piece of code, this gave me problems sometimes until i manually removed it.

a simple date field should give you not trouble whatsoever, you mind if i see the code and db?

No problem

I have created a test page that can de viewed at www.martynstravel.com/test.asp

The code is as follows, and an image showing the db table is on the page.

Thanks for helping

I have found out what the problem is. It is me being careless.

I have called an access field "date".

Many thanks

Just to add to the old date problem questions, I have always solved the date issue by using a pop up calendar and a read only field, so the client picks a date and it is then entered into the read only field.

I have found this very successful and should anyone want to do the same, a simple search on google for popup calendar will return many examples.
