Hi,
My VB6 application has been developed long back using Access as back end. Now I am planning to migrate data from Access to sQL server 2008 .
1)Previously vb6 application was retrieving date from Access file in dd/MM/yyyy format which is the system format without any format function.(Uses RecordSet object) . After migrating to sQL server 2008 date retrieved in yyyy-MM-dd format which I have to format each time to my required format.
So it's creating issues at many places like inserting records to server, date comparison with date controls of vb6 etc. So I may have to apply format() function at many places. Can we use any once only setup to retrieve date in required format , so the application changes will be minimal. (at SQL Server side or at my application). ie the RecordSet.Open will always provide date data in dd/MM/yyyy format without any explicit formatting.
2)I am not able to use seek function with RecordSet object
Thanks in Advance
Johnson

If you're worried about "formats" of DateTime values in the Access database, you've been storing datetime data as strings, not datetime values.
You shouldn't be worried about those "formats" at all since a true datetime value is has no format in the database.
The only time you should be worried about the format of a datetime is when such values are presented in the UI or the user has to otherwise interact with them.
