Update "yyyy" to "2013"

I have a Microsoft Access query where I am trying to update the "yyyy" "2012" to "2013".  Here is the Select query:
SELECT Format([MyDate],"mmyyyy") AS Expr1
FROM Company_Data
WHERE (((Format([MyDate],"mmyyyy"))="012012"));

If your field is stored as TEXT (not optimal), you can use the following:

Select Query:
SELECT Replace([MyDate], "2012", "2013")
FROM Company_Data
WHERE Right([MyDate],4) = "2012"

Open in new window


Update query:
UPDATE Company_Data
SET [MyDate] = Replace([MyDate], "2012", "2013")
WHERE Right([MyDate],4) = "2012"

Open in new window

I'm not sure I understand the question.  Wouldn't  you just change it to:
SELECT Format([MyDate],"mmyyyy") AS Expr1
FROM Company_Data
WHERE (((Format([MyDate],"mmyyyy"))="012013"));

Or did you want a query to update the dates in your table that are in 2012 to 2013?

Try this

Update  Emp_Detail

set Emp_Detail.[JoiningDate] = CDate( Format(Emp_Detail.[JoiningDate], "MM/DD/") & "2013" )

where year(Emp_Detail.[JoiningDate]) = 2005



In your case for year
Update  Company_Data

set [MyDate] = CDate( Format([MyDate], "MM/DD/") & "2013" )

where year([MyDate]) = 2012

if the field is date, you just want to add 1 year:

dateadd("year", 1, your_date_field)

and eventually format from there.
if it's not datetime, it would be about time to think about getting that changed ..

angelIII's solution should do what you want, although I think the syntax for year interval is "yyyy" -
dateadd("yyyy", 1, your_date_field)
