[AccessD] Dates again- aarrgghh

Well at least yyyymmdd makes some kind of sense. It follows the
principle of any numbering system in having the higher order numbers to
the left, working down to lower order to the right. And the UK version
does at least do the same in reverse. I've never understood the logic of
the US format (ducks).

And we could cut traffic on this list by 10% or more if everybody would
adopt the international date format of yyyymmdd instead of trying to use
the obsolete date formats of mmddyy and ddmmyy. <grin>

You should have a surcharge, not a discount!  It's all your fault that
US developers have to deal with internationalization issues in their
application! <VBG>

I am amazed that that 'feature' hasn't bitten me before. Shouldn't we
non US developers get a discount? (grin)
