Re: Anyone on? INSERT INTO with MS Access problem

I don't think the problem is the format. In MS Access, when you insert a date, you have to enclose it in "#", like this: #07/11/1982#. Sometimes it's useful the function datevalue(date), which you can use even in a SQL statement. Finally, dates in SQL statement have to follow the american syntax, that is mm/dd/yy.
