date string

Hi
I have an excel worksheet that i am beginnning to import in to access
for anaysis, the person who designed the worksheet has used input forms
to gather the data unfortunlately the date field has been sesigned as
a text field (dd/mm/yyyy)
is it possible for me to convert this back to a date field in access
ie(dd/mm/yyy)

this would save me a lot of work in redisgning the excel worksheet

thanks

The DateValue() function will convert a date string to as date.
