European date format

[cmm]

When creating a data type for a field in MS Access, when i specify date/time, it formats it as US format (ie mm/dd/yyyy), however, i wish to format it as European (ie dd/mm/yyyy). How is this possible? Thanks in advance for your time!

The formats in Access are based on the regional settings of the local machine. Alter those and the formats you expect for European will be there.
