Product Details

Operational Range for Data: Data Source Dependent

 

How the product handles dates:

DAO is not a storage engine and only deals with date conversion when handling variants. Date conversion is handled through OLEÆs VariantChangeType().

Two-digit shortcut handling:

OLE Automation or the Visual Basic for Applications/Visual Basic expression service is used to convert strings to date format.

Common date usage errors:

It is recommended to use 4-digit years when storing data or calling methods/properties of DAO. Using 2-digit years may reveal year-windowing issues in your backend, where the boundary cases may not be well known (given an arbitrary backend data store).

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

Since there is some "windowing" inherent in the Year 2000 compliance features of OLE and most backend data stores, users should use 4-digit year formats in dates, particularly when placing data into a store and querying that store.
