[AccessD] A2203: Date Format Issues

Hi Darren and Darryl

No, you _will_ need to be more specific in your code. In SQL you must explicitly format date string expressions to the "reverse" US format, m/d/yyyy, or the ISO format, yyyy-mm-dd. Then set your regional settings of Windows as you like.

Darren,

You might need to be more specific in your code and force the date to be what you want, esp if it is passing via the VBE for instance.  MS are sloppy with dates in places and it often end up defaulting to the US date (mm-dd-yyyy) in the process.

Hi Team

I have a new machine - SO maybe this date question is a regional setting
issue



Anyhow - I am trying to show all accounts created in a db since a certain
date

When I debug the recordsource SQL that is supposed to 'feed' the form I see



select * from tblAccount where DateCreated >= #4/07/2008#



Excellent - Over here in Oz we want dd/mm/yyy date formatting

So to me this SQL will show me all the accounts created since the 4th July
2008

But it does not

It ends up showing me all the accounts created since 7th April



Arrrgggghhhh



I have made all the neseccary changes to regional settings



Help please



Darren
