[AccessD] Date issues in Access

Hi Charlotte

I may have misunderstood the question of Stuart.


In code nothing is localized.
As you know, you have to use US syntax.

In the SQL GUI, _displayed_ code is localized:

   Format(Now(),"dd/mmm/yyyy hh:nn:ss") AS Dat

displays:

   Dat: Format(Now();"dd-mmm-åååå tt:nn:ss")

and would return, in October, this localized result:

   22-oktober-2003 18:35:38


I had the result in mind.
