Hi,

In my form application I am connected to my access database (mydatabase.mdb) and in a table I have field with the date/time property but it seems that i can only store "Text" or "String" if I use my form.

I want to store the date as dd-mm-yyyy and that it is saved as a DateTime value and not like a string.

For the date input I use a DateTimePicker.

it is binded like this:
OrderDate.Databinding.Add(new Binding("Text",Connection1.Bindingsource,"OrderDate"));

I hope someone can help me.

You may want to try using a Date again, but this time make sure that your range of dates falls within the acceptable range of dates for a database.

The range of a DateTime is larger than a date allowable in MS SQL.
