Saving a non en_US locale date to MSAccess
Sorry to bump this, but I could really use some input and advice on the post below from the gurus on the list. An european locale (it_IT) shows the date as d/m/yyy in a form field. At the moment of retrieving from the MSAccess db it will not be recognized. So, before saving, I parse the date with DatePart(...), recompose it with CreateDateTime(...) and finally create the dateobject with CreateODBCDateTime(...) This way the date is saved correctly. Couldn't find any LS function to restore it to local date format. Am I wrong? Is there a less cumbersome way to do it? Thank you very much.

And do not forget to set locale into your locale before using LS* functions.

Thank you Dave. How embarassing. I thought I have tried LSParseDateTime and didn't works. It works perfectly. RTFM to me. Thanks again.
