[AccessD] Export to CSV file problem

Hi Chester:

The real date in the table is stored Microsoft date format: i.e.
351235.12343. Its' display format can be very different from the real date
and sometimes Access assists by assigning it's own date format
recommendation when certain function are being used. I have found it is
sometimes better to create a field, format the field and then export the
contents from/through a query rather than directly from a table.

I have the following field in a query that makes a table.
Date: Format((CDate(Forms![frm Select Date]!selected_date)),"Short
Date")
When I open up the table I see a short date
When I export the table to a csv type file I get both the date and the
time.
How do I get only the date into the csv file?
