    Change Data Types in a Make Table Query


    Access 2003 - Is there any way to change the data type in a "Make Table Query"? I have tried doing a format on the date columns and this doesn't work. I know there are coding ways to do it, but I thought this would be a simple feature in a UI like Access.

    Thank you,
    Nyneave

    Not in the design grid. You can write CREATE TABLE sql statement in SQL View. Review http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_create_table.asp

    The resulting query can be saved but won't open in Design view, only SQL View.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.
