Run Make-Table Action query

[eHigh]

In table design view I set the data type to date/time. But when running the make-table action query it changes the "date/time" data type to "text" data type.

When running the make-table action query can I force it keep the "date/time" data type?

The problem isn't in keeping the data type. Make Table queries delete the existing table and create a new one, so the problem is in making it create the correct data type.

Modify your Make Table query so that the source for the date/time column is of date type. The simplest way would be to change the Field: row to a CDate() expression. (I'm assuming all of the source rows have valid dates present.)

You could also use an Append query instead, since you have created the table ahead of time.
