Andre,

I don't see that MapInfo (v 6.5) supports times; only dates.  If this is the
case, then you will need to convert the field type in MS Access.  If you
convert the field to string, then keep in mind that if sorted, you may not
acheive the desired results.  For example 10:30 would be sorted before 9:00.
I would recommend converting to a string, extracting the numerical
characters, then converting to integer.

A round about way, but one that does the job.  Hopefully there is a more
direct solution.  Anyone?

Subject: MI-L Date / Time field in Access


Hi Everyone!

I'm hoping that someone can help me with a wee bit of a problem I'm having.
I have a Time/Date field in Access and the data in the field is simply 24
hour time i.e.. 23:04.  When I pull this into MapInfo it converts the
attribute data to a date which is not useful.  Do I have to change this
structure of the field to character in Access and then bring it into
MapInfo?  Once in MapInfo as a character field, can I do a query to extract
data between lets say...17:30 and 22:30???  

What the best way to approach this?

Yours Truly...

Andre
