Howdy
Funny I did try it and yes that's what I ended up doing
I just used date serial to get the date 7 days ago in American format mm/dd/yyyy
and then passed that to the SQL. When I used date serial to get the date (less 7
days) in to dd/mm/yyyy (Aussie format) the sql looked lovely in debug.print yet
returned no results (when I knew there were some) when I applied it as the
form's SQL
When I copied the sql from the immediate window and pasted it into the Query
Designer in SQL mode - It pasted nice - Then I'd run it and get no results then
I'd look at it in Query design mode and the mongrel had reversed the date and
month right there in the query design window
So in the immediate window I'd have
select * from tblAccount where datecreated >= #11/07/2008# <--pretty herbal
So I'd paste that into the SQL Query designer - it'd paste OK - then I'd run it
- get no results - even though I know there are some - then I'd look at it in
query design mode - see the month and date had been changed then look at it
again in SQL view and see something like
select * from tblAccount where tblAccount.datecreated >= #7/11/2008#
plus a few parenthesis - SO I just gave up and formatted the date like the yanks
<sigh>
Many thanks
Darren

Hi Darren,
Did you try Drews suggestion?
>From Access Help:
'========================================================
DateSerial, Day, Month, and Year Function Examples
The following example uses the DateSerial function together with the Year,
Month, and Day functions to return the number of days in a month. You can pass
either a date or a string to the DaysInMonth function.
Function DaysInMonth(dteInput As Date) As Integer
Dim intDays As Integer
' Add one month, subtract dates to find difference.
intDays = DateSerial(Year(dteInput), _
Month(dteInput) + 1, Day(dteInput)) _
DateSerial(Year(dteInput), _
Month(dteInput), Day(dteInput))
DaysInMonth = intDays
Debug.Print intDays
End Function
The following Sub procedure shows several different ways that you might call the
DaysInMonth function.
Sub CallDaysInMonth()
Dim intDays As Integer
intDays = DaysInMonth(#4/1/96#)
intDays = DaysInMonth("4-1-96")
intDays = DaysInMonth("April 1, 1996")
End Sub

Are you creating this SQL in code? If so, use DateSerial to 'put' the
date into the SQL and you'll never have a problem.

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
