I added some vba code to an access97 application to select on a date-range. I hardcoded the format as "dd-mmm-yy". This works with regionals settings english(united states). For the user, regional settings Dutch(belgian)are required, but when these are set, for some strange reason selections for the months march and august don't work. Also, when user enters an integer in another funcion which is used for substracting the number of months from the current date, this also doesn't work for the numbers 3 and 8. I am thinking of some bug in Access (97). Has anyone seen this before?
