[AccessD] Seconds Missing

You may need to delete the linked table from Access and then re-link it.
I recently had an Access linked table refuse to see a decimal field on
SQL Server as anything but an integer until I delete/relinked.  (I
refreshed the links endless times to no avail).  I think our friend
Access sometimes just won't pick up all the schema info unless you force
it on him!

No, if I enter a date/time directly into the linked table any seconds eg
:25 are changed to :00 when the record is saved. Yes, if I enter a
date/time directly into the table using SQL Enterprise Manager....
seconds are accepted.

I can hold seconds OK in the Global variable and a local table field.

Your suggestion re converting date/time to a string looks like a
promising solution for me so I will that a try.

Thanks

Martin

Does it work if you enter a time including seconds directly into the
linked table?

If so, I would try to track down the problem using the Profiler from SQL
Server. Run the append query while Profiler is running to find out what
exactly is sent to the server.

Comparing date/time-values is always a problem with Access and
SQL-Server, because date and time are always stored as ONE number. I've
come to the point where I explicitly convert any data/time-value to a
string ("20041231", "1755") before I do the comparison. This way you can
also solve the problems that might result from the different base-dates
used in SQL Server and Access.

Using an append query on an ODBC/Linked table.

I need to retrieve the record when the user exits using a composite
UserID and LoginInTime key and insert a logoff time however, the value I
have stored in a global variable has seconds and the value stored in the
table has been rounded to full minutes so I'm never going to retrieve
the correct record unless the login was actually on the full minute.

How exactly are you trying to write the time to sql server (ODBC/Linked
table, ADO, etc.)?

Hi Folks

I have spent some time in the archives and reviewing past date/time
issues looking for a fix for this problem: I grab the user login time
using NOW() and save it to an SQL table however any seconds apparent in
Access always end up as :00 being save in my SQL table. I was using
smalldatetime data type which I changed to datetime but without success.
I have played with
Format() a bit but maybe someone knows where my seconds have gone?

Martin
