[AccessD] Date Format Again

Hi Jim

Neither can I.

Rocky, for your encryption function, all you need is to format the
date value as to your liking: 

  strRockyDate = Format(datDate, <Rocky'sFormatString>)

or - vice versa as Drew suggested - to get the date value using
DateSerial().

Look up the on-line help for these to end your problems.
