Hi,
We have an Access Application which works fine for most of the users.
But there is one user who has the date input problem.
When he enter a date field from a form, i.e. 09/03/2004 (Sept. 3,
2004), the value always gets flipped into 03/09/2004(Mar 9, 2004) as
soon as the cursor leaves that date field.
When he enters 09/24/2004, the value doesn't get flipped.
My discovery is that any value in between '/' under 12 will be flipped.
The format for the field is Short Date. The sample for it is
'6/19/1994'.
The regional short date format setting from Control Panel is M/d/yyyy,
Date separator is '/'.
MS Access version is 2002 SP3 and it's running on Windows XP.
Any insight on this? It drives me crazy!
Thanks

You're sure about the short date format on his machine? That's really the
only thing that's make sense.

I have seen this before on a server running ASP code. In this case I
went right through the registry looking at the Control Panel /
International settings. You need to be sure that every instance has
the country ID and the date formatting set the same.
This kind of thing is a lot more common for us Brits!

Sorry to reply a bit late.
The problem is not related to the registry since I check every entry
under International settings from registry.
The client machine is a regular desktop not a server. All what I did is
to open the table in design view and go through the date format again
which read the way as the registry stores.
I went back to the program and found that every date field is working
without flipping.
Don't know the reason yet. Is there Access local setting overriding the
system setting somehow?
Anyway I got it fixed eventually.
Thanks

Access has a Format property, yes -- and it overrides the system when it is
specified.

Helpful folks,
Most of my previous experience with DB2 was on s390 mainframe systems
and the optimizer on this platform always seemed very predictable and
consistent. Since moving to a WinNT/UDB 7.2 environment, the choices
the optimizer makes often seem flaky. But this last example really
floored me. I was hoping someone could explain why I get worse
response time when the optimizer uses two indexes, than when it uses
one. Some context:

I want to allow users to enter dates in a text box in either the US "MM dd
yy" format or the UK "dd MM yy" format.
But how can I validate these dates? All the date functions e.g. ISdate,
convert.ToDatetime etc fail on the US date format as the application and IIS
is set to UK format.
Its strange that the date format("12/03/06","MM dd yy") is interpretated
correctly but format("12/22/06","MM dd yy") bombs out.

I've been working on access 2000 for few days. I made some forms with textfields where you can type date. Those textfields had input mask set for short date 99/99/0000.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
