Have you tried setting the format of the column in the design grid of the query to "Short Date" or "mm/dd/yy" ?

I am linked to a table of data from our AS400/DB2 system and a date
field appears as 20050105. I need Access to read this as a date - what
is the best way to handle/convert this field. I've tried breaking it
apart and putting it back together in a query as 01-05-2005 but Access
does not recognize as a date field. I want to query out data based on a
date - please advise.

Thanks for your help.
