Yes, but I want Python to print what I see when I open Access and
look-see. Python is also printing dates w/out times differently
too compared to what I see in Access.
I was coming from the equivalent Perl code and now trying
it in Python.
The equivalent Perl code seems to print what I see in Access
for Date/Time. eg. it'll print 12:00:00 AM.
VS.
Python always changes the Date/Time format.
For what it's worth here's the Perl code vs Python.
Test on Access table with Date/Time Field and
you'll see what I'm saying.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE();
use Win32::OLE::Variant;
$Win32::OLE::Warn=2;
my $conn = Win32::OLE->new("ADODB.Connection");
my $db = 'C:\Folder4\datetest1.mdb';
$conn->Open('Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source='.$db);
my $zztop = $conn->Execute("SELECT DATE_FIELD FROM dtest_table");
$zztop->MoveFirst();
while( !$zztop->EOF) {
my $ss = $zztop->Fields("DATE_FIELD")->value;
print "$ss\n";
$zztop->MoveNext;
}
VS.

ss = oRS.Fields(dt).Value
print ss
