Date and Time Format

Post by seabird »

Hi All,

I run Ms Access in a wine32 enviroment for a complex report created years ago. I do not wish to revisit the creation of this report so trying to finetune some things.

In the report it calls for a time from a query. I want to display hh:nn (Short time format) but WITH a leading zero (ie 08:45).

No matter what I try I cannot manage to display the zero. All regedit values seem correct but it still drops it.

Any clues?

There are also Windows users who are affected by this. I think this is a bug in Access and not in Wine.
What you could try is to modify the LC_TIME variable.
For example:

Code: Select all

LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" wine msaccess.exe

Today I compared the registry entries with a wi dows registry and managed to tweak some setting to finally make it work. Might revert is and try this trick later just to see if it worked
