I have a SQL Server 2008 database with an Access front-end. My problem is that Access does not recognise SQL Server’s dates as they are in a different format.
SQL Server-s format is YYYY-MM-DD
Access’ format is DD-MM-YYYY
When the date is displayed in a text-box, it is displayed as a string (without the little calendar icon next to it).
Is there anyway I can configure my Access front-end so that it recognises SQL Server’s dates?
Cheers.
If you are storing the dates in SQL server as the data type “Date” or “Date2” try changing them to “DateTime” I had this problem linking data from SQL server 2008R2 to access 97, access did not see it as a date and treated it like text
