Subject Re: date problem in appending from Excel From Akshat Kapoor <akshat.kapoor@kapoorsons.in> Date Fri, 5 Mar 2021 12:51:31 +0530 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Good Afternoon Emeka, > I need your assistance.  I saved the file as a csv file. I am trying to append the data  from csv to dbase, but the date did not show at all. Other data showed except date. > > I used 'append from c:\bike\bikal.csv delimited' I am using the following command append from attendance.csv delimited with "," The data in the csv is from a biometric attendance system. The dates are in the format yyyy-mm-dd and the dates are inserted fine. The biggest problem with dates is the formatting issue as pointed out by Ken. The safest format for import export is yyyy-mm-dd. There is no ambiguity in this date format. Regards Akshat
