    As VBA code – you could wrap it as a function

    Dim strMyDate As String
Dim dteDate As Date

strDate = "20090528"
dteDate = DateSerial(Left(strDate, 4), Mid(strDate, 5, 2), Right(strDate, 2))
MyStr = Format(dteDate, "dd-mmm-yyyy")
Debug.Print MyStr

    As a Data type in a Table – If you append the data to a table where the field is Date/Time formatted then you can specify the format on the Form / Table i.e. at output time.
