[AccessD] Date standardization

Yep, embedding dates as criteria in SQL strings can cause problems with 
internationalisation.  The query engine uses mm/dd/yy.   

There are a number of ways to the get around the problem of different regional settings., but I 
generally use DataValue() along these lines:

strSQL = "Select * from tblDemoWhere StartDate = Datevalue('" & txtStart & "');"
