Access date problems

By munrrob ·
When entering the following:

?Format(DateAdd("d",-0, #10/09/03#), "dd/mm/yy")

The following is returned:

09/10/03

The month and day have been transposed despite the system being set to UK timezone and the regional setting for short dates being dd/mm/yy. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

wild guess. i believe your formatting is being ignored because something is wrong with the syntax...what happens if you remove the last quote mark, so the end of the formula like this:
"dd/mm/yy

Thanks. The format is being ignored. By removing the last quote mark I get an error. What I need to know is why is the format being ignored?

Regardless of how you format dates, Access stores the number in US format.
See if this format mask works:

"mm\/dd\/yyy"
