Hi all,
I am running a problem while importing the spreadsheet which contain the date field from Excell 2000 to Access. I want the date field look just like in excel mm/dd/yyyy. However after importing, the date automatically change to mm/dd/yy. I must have 4 digit year as user requested. I know it's simple, but I only have few hours to complete. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is this what you want to see when you open the table? If so, open the table in design view and go to the Format property and type in mm/yy/dddd and then save the table. You should then see the four digit year.
