We can collect a particular date part from any date and time field of MSSQL table. We have to specify which part of the date and time is required. You can get a list of constants used for formatting DatePart function.
Getting Month using DatePart function

We will get month between 1 to 12 here.
Getting the Day of the year
Here we will get the value from 1 to 365 ( days of the year )
Same way we can use the table below and get all the parts from a date and time field of MSSQL table.

rs1.open " select DatePart(dy,return_dt) as dp from dt " , conn
