hi.. its very easy ..

You have to change some settings in "Region and Language Settings" in Control panel

See the attached thumbnail

Change Short Date Format from MM/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyy.
(if u dont find dd/mm/yyy. inthe option then dont worry just write it.) and apppy and see effect

is there any other way to do that because from client point of view it would be difficult to make Region and Language Settings and then start doing work on application it may be possible if user doesnt make regional settings and start doing entries in stock and when user will check the entries while using date search criteria then result will not be correct result due to change in dateformat and idea for that thxxxxxxxxxxx

hi sandeep i have changed all the column datatype from date to text now it works fine and i am using msaccess database is there any effect for changing the datatype from date to text i mean any effect of this on execution of code

i dont think it would cause any problem :)
