MS-Access front-end does not recognise dates from SQL Server

Question

I have a SQL Server 2008 database with an Access front-end. My problem is that Access does not recognise SQL Server\'s dates as they are in a different format.

SQL S

Answer 1

The Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access does move the dates over as a Date format. The problem the user has encountered is with a Driver. Microsoft has a new DLL that must be put on a client workstation (or server in the case of Citrix). Once that is done, all the dates in MS Access will work properly. My lastest experience with Access 2010 was exactly the same as Access 2003. It required a DLL. From there, investigate using a DNS-Less connection string.
