[AccessD] Convert SQL Server Date/Time to Date

Ah, but then there is the Year 1752 bug at least for British dates.
and its resultant 10 lost days.

The best known case in the U.S. is that of George Washington, whose
birthday was for many years a national holiday.  It was observed on
February 22, which is when Washington observed it--after 1752.  He
was born 1732-02-11 (O.S.).

A further complication for dates in England and her colonies is that
the official year began in March, so that Washington's birthday would
have been written Feb. 11, 1732/31 (O.S.).

This supposed birthdate for Issac Newton (4 Jan 1642) is a cute example
of calendar confusion.  Newton was born on Christmas, 25 Dec 1642.
Or, at least, that's what day it was in England. Across the
Channel in France,  that same day was 4 Jan 1643; because France
had switched to the Gregorian calendar, which England did not
adopt until 1752.  The confusion here presumably came from switching to
the modern calendar date but trying to keep the familiar year of birth.
