Format a Date Field in a Table Problem

[papic1972]

Hi all,

I am designing a new table. I have a date field that needs to be formatted as 'mm/yyyy', rather than the MS Access default. Does anyone know how this can be done.



Thanks in advance.

A date is a date, so the field data type should be DateTime.
Don't confuse data storage and data presentation issue.
You always may apply a display format when you retrieve the stored values.

Hope This Helps, PH.
