reformat current DateTime object

[Kevin]

Hi All

I have a DateTime object called dt. the format of dt.Date
is mm/dd/yyyy. How can I change this format to dd/mm/yyyy
and still keep it as a DateTime object so that I can run
this following SQL query :

UPDATE WorkRoster SET DateWorking = ? WHERE DateWorking IS
NULL

I have added a parameter to hold the date.

I have tried to make my parameter = dt.ToString("d" ), but
when the Update statment runs I get and OLEDbException
that is thrown, telling me that the Paramter does not have
a default value. I assuming it's maybe telling me this
because I tried to enter a string in the parameter?

The database is an Access 2000 DB and the field's datatype
is ShortDate.

How can I solve this problem?

Any help is much appreciated
TIA

No it's not. Not really. The format of dt.Date is another DateTime.
DateTimes themselves have no explicit format.

In that case just set the value to dt.Date, which is a DateTime itself
- there's no need to format it at all.
