Dear group,
Currently I'm building a VBA-program in access which exports a set of data
to excel.
One of the fields is a date field. This I would like to be displayed as
m/d/yyyy.
I've chosen to export the date as integer (ie. 32291 for 5/28/1988)
This since excel otherwise recognizes the input as text or swaps day and
months.
To obtain the date format on the excel sheet I use following code:
AppExcel.Range("G4:G" & Rij).NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
This code has as result that the integer is put in 'd/m/yyyy' format (system
standard)
Since this is the only sheet where this format is required I do not want to
change the system settings.
Exporting the date as string gives visually the correct result however makes
it impossible to sort/calculate later on.
What is the best way to obtain the desired result?
Thanks for your reply,
D
