changing the data type settings for a field in access

Hi Guys,

I would appreciate any help given on this one,

what I want to do maybe quite simple I have my access table and I want it to change the date time to short date e.g. 10/04/2007 I’ve tried all the usual stuff like input mask and changing the format to short time and all I seem to get is it actually displayed as short date in the table but when I click the box and make it bigger I can see the time as well, I want the time to be completely gone and just have the short date there.

Thanks

In the format field put "dd/mm/yyyy" and see what happens

Thanks Mary,

I've tried that and it just displays it as a short date but when you actually click on the cell where the date is the time is also there, what I want is the time to disappear completely, any ideas?

Access stores all dates with the time. You can only change the display.
