Go to the Windows Control Panel | Regional Options | Date.
Your date/time fields in Access will use the Short Date format you specified there, unless you set the Format property of the text boxes differently. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

To FREDG changing date format in a query
Hi Fred. Thanks for your help.
In my query, I want to search between two date fields that are formatted dd/mm/yyyy using the date field that is formatted yyyymm. I know that I have to tell Access to use the month and year from yyyymm and add in 01 for the day but I don't know how. Can you enlighten me? -----Original Message----- On Mon, 24 May 2004 09:22:15 -0700, Elisa wrote: How do I change a date yyyymm to mm/dd/yyyy? Is the [Date] field a Date/Time datatype? In a query?

The Format merely controls how the data is *displayed* - regardless of the format, a Date/Time value is stored as a Double Float number, a count of days and fractions of a day (times) since midnight, December 30, 1899. In other words - a date *is not a string*, and adding 01 won't work! I know that I have to tell Access to use the month and year from yyyymm and add in 01 for the day but I don't know how. Can you enlighten me? Try BETWEEN DateSerial(CInt(Left([Enter date yyyymm:], 4)), CInt(Right([Enter date yyyymm:], 2)), 1) AND DateSerial(CInt(Left([Enter date yyyymm:], 4)), CInt(Right([Enter date yyyymm:], 2)) + 1, 0) John W.
