    If your Access version is 2000 or later, you can use the Replace() function to substitute dashes for the dots in your date string. Then the CDate() function will be able to convert the string to a Date/Time value.

    Debug.Print CDate(Replace("06.08.2010",".","-"))
6/8/2010

    That was an example from the Immediate window on my system, which uses US as its locale setting. So CDate() can accept a string containing a date in mm-dd-yyyy format. If your locale is different, you will need to put in more work to get what you need.
