I have a table that has a year field and day field. I only need to convert
the day field which is a Julian date to Gregorian. If possible in a query. If
not then in a module, but, I'm real rusty with access so please give explicit
instructions. I have found some codes but have not been able to make them
work with the table, I'm sure its me.

Thanks for any help you can provide me with.
 
There are loads of examples out there. The simplist one I could find that
works is

SELECT DatePart("y",[TableName]![FieldName])+(Year(Now())-1900)*1000 AS
NewDate
FROM TableName;

Your wording does not match. A 'Julian date' implies some format of year
and numerical day count within that year.
There are many such formats like --
8059 which is the 59th day of 2008.
OR
08059
What is the DataType of the fields - text or number?
 
Here is a part of the table I'm working with.

YR DAY TIME DIC RIC CIIC FSC
2005 275 XXXXXXX A41 XXX X XXXX
2005 275 XXXXXXX A4A XXX X XXXX
2005 275 XXXXXXX A41 XXX X XXXX
2005 275 XXXXXXX A4A XXX X XXXX
2005 275 XXXXXXX A4A XXX X XXXX
 
I tried this and for 22 as in the day field I got a return of 108022. What I
was expecting back was for a Julian day of 22 a return month and day like
0122 or Jan 22, or some formonth and day. Sorry, I should have mentioned this
in my first post.
