This question relates to the article (
Literal DateTimes and Their Delimiters (#)).
The question you ask makes no sense. This sounds harsh, but I want to explain why. Then you will understand the whole subject more clearly.
The clue is in the title :
Literal DateTimes and Their Delimiters (#)
There is a big difference between a date stored inside the computer (as a Date/Time) and a string which may represent a date. It's hard to distinguish sometimes, as to see and understand a date value on the screen it must first be converted to a string. Hence the
Format property of numeric and date fields. However, there is a fundamental difference between a date value that happens to be displayed on the screen in "m/d/yyyy" format, and a string literal that shows the same characters.
A date is never stored as "m/d/yyyy" or "d/m/yyyy". That wouldn't make sense as date fields are numeric and cannot contain string values. Dates are all stored the same way inside your field. Regardless of what default or explicit format properties you may employ.
Does this understanding help you to grasp the issue? If so, you will understand why I can't answer your question directly.
